Lens Collection

All the lenses that I have for each mount.

I use K&F Concept Nano-K UV filters to act as a general protection layer for the front elements of some of my lenses - they're cheap but cheerful. Despite some people's opinions on the internet with their own experiences, I have not seen a reduction of image quality, so I'll continue using them. Lenses that have filters attached will be marked with [F].

Notes

1. Ricoh automatic aperture control pin removed to not get stuck on KAF bodies

2. APS-C crop, not usable on 35mm K-mount cameras.

3. Sticky aperture blades and really stiff focus ring. Needs service.

4. 2nd revision, manufactured 2006-2009. Also the last Nikon D-series lens in production. Last one standing!
