1/40 f/4.5, ISO 100, tripod.

Giunto al termine della scala lucente, l'Esploratore contempla immoto il sacro volto: la sindone dalla quale ogni divinita' cosmica trae ragion d'esistere. La maschera silenziosa sovrasta il tutto, dispiegando le sue ali rilucenti per comprendere ogni cosa. ILLUMINAZIONE: tavolo luminoso 4x18 w a tubi fluorescenti. SET: tavolo luminoso acceso, valvole noval, Esploratore, carcassa di un vecchio lettore di floppy disk da 3.5", foglio di stagno ramato come quinta. OBIETTIVO: il mitico, immenso Nikkor 50-300 f 4.5 del '68~'71 seconda serie con lenti ambra ed innesto AI, smontato completamente, ripulito da muffe, ingrassato, riassemblato e ritarato con estrema gloria e soddisfazione dal sottoscritto. SETTAGGI MACCHINA: B/N in camera, nitidezza al minimo, contrasto al massimo, filtro sul verde. Focale a 300 mm, fuoco manuale sull'Esploratore a 2,50 mt ( minima distanza di messa a fuoco del Nikkor ). Note: lo smontaggio ed il rimontaggio del 50-300 e' stato impegnativo, non esistendo alcuno su internet che avesse effettuato tale operazione, e descrivendolo Marco Cavina come una lente dalla costruzione estremamente complessa. Internamente e' uno spettacolo d'altri tempi di spesso e lucido ottone, acciaio ed alluminio, con 20 lenti e cinematismi che prevedono movimenti in controfase a gruppi. Con molta calma e prudenza ho documentato ogni fase dell'operazione e prossimamente ne trarro' un tutorial.

This continues to be one of the most interesting profiles (and then, even if I could do it, I would never start doing all this work on a lens like that, I think I figured out what it is).

One of my favorites as aesthetics and yield. :-D

Well, even the Kiron isn't kidding, it looks like an engine piston.

You're right: maneuvering its pump focus is a real beauty: it's a much faster system than the bigots like the Tokina that under it. It's also a real parafocal, so you can afford to focus on what interests you as a prina thing, and then zoom in at will and calmly to compose at your best.

I saw one on eBay at an attractive price. I feel like it, although for the use I make my Tamron 100-400 stabilized it swallows it completely (but it's not parfocal, I think).

As a comparison, for mine I gave 30 euros from RCE Padua. Really as new: it only had white haze inside the last lens that I proceeded to clean - it disassembles and comes back very easily - .
It has beautiful colors in the cold, especially green and blue, and produces excellent flares when pointed at the sun. You handle it as a god by holding it on the central canoe. To calibrate the infinity rotate the front set of lenses as long as you are satisfied with the yield.

Eh, since I remember (from Reflex paternal and ziesche) pump zoommoni and the feel they had, in the days when I was a kid and the cameras i miss made you touch if not under very tight control, I know what it means. There are bargains of 30-50 euros. I can't clean them and remove haze and mold, that has to be said. A full-race F4, while not stabilized, is brighter than all the various f4.5-5.6 (or even 6.3) now.

It's... they were simple tubes of iron and glass: now they have to live with electronics, cables and various mechanisms that strangle the section decreasing the brightness. And let's not talk about the 7.1 f---ing coming out now. :-(
