Hello! You can use an adapter from Amazon and it works great. Thanks for watching!

@@AK-ux8vf Absolutely a great lens! The optics have been used for photography for years and now it’s being used for video projects too. Legendary. Thanks for watching!

@@JohnJohn-fz6nt Hello! Great question. Yes with an adapter you can use this on full frame sensors and it looks great.

@@JohnJohn-fz6nt Thank you for watching! Mirrorless cameras give these vintage lenses a new life.

@@zhongyao-sc1lj the latest and greatest prices can be found on B&H, Adorama or EBay.

@@march.2588 thank you for watching! It’s a beautiful portrait lens.

That’s great to hear! Nikon glass is special and the different versions of lenses and focal lengths have made it easy to find an optic for different projects. Let me know how it goes with the 55mm. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I think you are going to have lots of fun with this lens. Let me know how it goes.

Very nice! I had the same two lenses with my Nikon D7000. The 18-200 was my walk around lens and the 80-200 for events. Two things I’d like to share: 1. As you already know, you have an apsc lens and a full frame lens. For the benefit of others that read this comment, the FF equivalent to your 18-200 f/3.5-5.6 would be a 27-300 f/5-8. So it is definitely more range than the 80-200. But where the 80-200 shines is its constant f2.8, it’s brighter and as you zoom the light doesn’t dim. It’s constant, perfect for events where lighting is tough or high ISOs will ruin a shot. 2. Right now an 80-200 on an apsc camera would crop the image and make the field of view of this lens effectively 120mm-300mm lens which is very telephoto. I could see imperfections in the image. Easier to shoot birds but harder to shoot portraits. Once I put my 80-200 on a FF camera I could see the intended image of this lens. The image it was meant to show. It blew my mind how I could see the bokeh in the viewfinder. The image popped even before I hit the shutter. Thank you for bringing those memories back to me.

Wow what a combination! I’m sure you’ll get some great shots out of it. Thanks for watching!

Great praise for a modest lens that brings big results. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

Hello thank you for reaching out. It sounds like the aperture blades may be stuck, usually because of oil on the blades. My first question would be what mount is your lens for?

@@studiotrejo3047 it says N/F on it. Im assuming thats just a nikon F mount? I got an adapter today to sony e and nothing with the aperature works

I also dont know if it will even work either way because it has the automatic diaphragm control mechanism and i dont know if it will work with just a N/F-sony E mount. Like i said ive been looking all over google and reddit and other forums but i havent found much info. I will likely end up disassembling the camera either way because there is some minor fungus and haze on the elements. But a little nervous to do so without any disassembling or reassembling instructions I can find.

@@friendlyalpaca5727 so it sounds like the blades are stuck. Your Sony e adapter would give it the proper distance for your lens to reach infinity focus but it wouldn’t control aperture since this is a fully manual lens. I also have the F mount version. I would start with the front element removal and see if you can reach the aperture chamber then use alcohol or lighter fluid which works faster and use a q tip to spread it. Make sure it’s at f/22 when you’re doing it. Keep at it and eventually the blades will pop out revealing the oil. Now you clean the blades/open the aperture and close the aperture. The blades will most likely get stuck again depending on the amount of oil. Repeat the above until it no longer stays stuck. Remove the rear elements and do the same on the other side of the blades. This will save you from completely disassembling the lens. I didn’t find a repair manual but this may help. learncamerarepair.com/product.php?product=508

@@studiotrejo3047 ok thank you! To confirm since you have the same lens. Are the aperature blades supposed to move when you adjust the aperature ring or does it stay wide open as described by the “automatic diaphragm control”? If it does stay wide open is there a way to trigger it with just a standard adapter or do i need a specialty adapter? Sorry if you already answered this. Still just a little confused. Thank you though. The parts manual will help a lot!

Absolutely! Thank for watching.

Wow! What a legacy you have with this lens. I keep it with me and use it every chance I get. It’s a special lens. Thank you for watching!

It’s an amazing lens that many pros still use. When it’s good it’s good. Thanks for watching!

That’s a great question since I have both lenses. Both a great but do different things. The 35-105 is a constant 3.5 regardless of where you are in the zoom range. The 28-105 has a variable aperture and therefore darkens to a 3.8 when zooming in. The darkening isn’t that dark considering you are starting at 2.8. The question is would you want to shoot at 28mm? Do you mind the push pull design of the 28-105? Photographers won’t mind but videographers might. I love them both but I use them differently in my workflow. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

@@studiotrejo3047 Thanks for the reply! i might prefer the 28-105mm ( in videography) for the wide side and the look it renders but i can't find any good quality samples

@@TedOrAlive They are out there. Not everyone knows how great the 28-105 is.

@@studiotrejo3047 i'll will wait for your video so ! And greats reviews bty

Hello! Some people use it as a grip but its actual name is a “lens collar”. A collar refers to a rotation collar, or tripod collar, that rotates on the lens barrel independently of the focusing ring and/or the zoom ring. This ring usually supports the L-shaped tripod mount, called a “foot”. The lens collar and foot are attached and rotate together.

That’s a great use for this lens. I’m sure it’s a fun way to use it. Thank you for watching!

It sure does! I appreciate the previous Ai version because of its longer focus throw. Great lenses but watch out for the flare. Thanks for watching!

I also have the second version of this lens. It sounds like one of the elements are backwards. Because it is weird that it’s working that way. It is a great lens.

Hello! Thank you for watching! If you are referring to the Vivitar S1 28-105 f2.8-3.8 which I do own, I think it’s great! Sharp, close focus and versatile. I’ve used it on travel and just for fun. There are 3 versions of this lens. The one I have has the 67 diameter front, the rubber Series 1 embossed on the focus. Hope this helps.

Hello! Thanks for watching! It is a beautiful lens. To use it on a Z camera you can use the FTZ adapter but with no auto focus just aperture control. The Megadap or a FotodioX Pronto would give you auto focus but aperture control is manual. I hope this helps!

Hello! Thank you for watching! Unfortunately I don’t have extensive tests with the push pull version of this lens so I couldn’t comment on it. From what I have read it does have good optical qualities.

That’s funny! Sure a 1.4 is fine until you try the 1.2 then your like Ooooooh. It’s a beautiful lens and I’m sure you’ll love it even if the old timers won’t admit it 😂 Thanks for watching!

Sounds good! I’m using it this week. I think you’ll love it. Thanks for watching!

Very cool! It’s a great lens and you’ll know it as soon as you pick it up. I was fortunate to get a nice copy. Hope yours turns out well also. Thanks for watching!

Yes it’s the same lens. Thank you for watching!

Sure is! It rendered beautifully in stills and video. Amazing for what it could do and what it still does. As long as the camera can drive the AF motor you’re good. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! I couldn’t help myself. Cheers!

Hello! Thank you for reaching out. $100 is a good price but the fact that it focuses sometimes is a red flag because I don’t know how much it costs to repair it. If you are only going to use it for video then manual focus is fine. So it depends what you want to use it for.

It’s a lens people still like and use. Filmmakers and photographers a like. Thank you for watching!

When you try to learn Russian 😅 Thanks for watching my video!

The T4 models are an older model with the interchangeable mounts. I cannot confirm the lens formula. I would recommend the lens be made late 70’s to be closer to what was reviewed in this video.
