Well I got my 18mm AIS today but it has been pouring the past few days with a similar forecast for the weekend so I am not sure when I will actually get to go out and use it. It is in beautiful shape and the focus, like all AIS Nikkors, is smooth as butter.
Here it is on my rather dusty due to lack of use F4S. It is amazingly compact for a lens as wide as it is with a 72mm filter thread. The lens hood slips on over the outside of the lens, so you do not have to remove filters, etc. to mount it, a nice feature! Like all my lenses, I have a Hoya Multicoated UV on it. This one is of the "low profile" variety so it does not vignette the image
