[QUOTE="Nialfb, post: 80879, member: 10997"] I discovered a minor setback in using the Nikon AF Nikkor 35-80mm lenses at the weekend ... vignetting! Due to the nature of the lens the aperture diaphragm is seriously in the way and looking through the lens is like trying to take a photograph through a keyhole! How easy is it to dismantle one of the lenses and remove the aperture blades? Has anyone tried it? In the meantime I have placed a bid on a Sigma Mini-wide 28mm f/2.8 lens to try that. It has a 52mm thread to I can still use it with my current set-up. The lens has a Minolta fitting but as it will be reversed so that doesn't matter. Maybe I should just buy a macro lens and be done with it *LOL* [/QUOTE]
