Thank you for joining us! Looking forward to many interesting postings and congratulating the people I'm 63 yers of age and live in Frankfurt/Main Germany.
While getting all these lenses, I have been checking the internet for groups with information about MF Nikkors and lately also MF-lenses in general, and that's how I found this group, where everybody seems to be as crazy as I am, so I thought that this is perfect company for me and joined. Having a Nikon camera of course reduces the number of old MF-lenses I can use considerably, but there is Leitax now, with which I can convert two Leica lenses I have for my Nikon cameras.There are also some Russian lenses I would be interested in.
I was lucky to get a few things very cheap lately, as the N.C 24mm that somebody converted at home (doesn't look nice, but works perfectly) for 51€ and - as my last acquisition - a 135mm/3.5 K lense AIed, for which I payed 54 € (actually I haven't received it yet, but am waiting for it). I have over the last two years re-detected the wonderful world of MF-lenses, which I already had almost 30 years go with my Nikon F and now have again to use them with digital cameras.
