[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 26916, member: 6548"] There is an old Nikkor 24 that is a really special lens despite the fact that it is not the fastest of the 24s...the Nikkor 24/2.8...the later AIS version is a 9 elements in 9 groups rig and is very small and light and has the extreme build quality of the typical Nikkor from this period...it has virtually nil light fall off corner to corner from wide open to fully stopped down...it is in the top three (#2 is the 24/2) in terms of magnification ability (10X - that is incredible even by today's standards)...it is a close focus macro lens the likes of you wouldn't believe... It is kinda like a 49 Mercury - they just don't make them like that anymore! :) [/QUOTE]
