Nikon series "E" 100mm f2.8 at f8 and low ISO.
It's wearing a Nikon L-37-C coated filter here.
Optically this out-performs the 105mm nikkor by quite a bit.
The series "E" line was just what the E designates- an economy line of lenses that didn't last very long.
The build quality and materials used were definitely inferior to the nikkor line- the plastic focusing tube and nylon bearings in the helicoids can get a bit noisy at the right temperatures.
I'll let the imagery speak for it's self.
I like this lens for it's small size, and ease of focus.
More to follow later...

Nikkor 35-105mm f3.5-4.5 here.
Crop from about 50mm and the macro lug engaged. Wide open.
The zone of focus when being used in this mode is incredibly shallow. A tripod and focusing rail would make images like this much better and easier to take. Still, given enough light, I try.
Same lens at 105mm and f5.6. ISO 64.
More to follow...

Extremely good detail on the sparrow!! SW
Great. Still have my old Pentax 35mm. Hung it up like most others when the digitals came about.

No, a Spotmatic ll. I always wanted a Spotmatic. By the time I was able to buy one they had been replaced with the Spotmatic ll. Big mistake. A great camera but they take a specialized flash that incorporates the amount of light given off based upon conditions. The camera has a photo eye or sensor on it that sends the info to the flash. Most of my pic's were taken outside so no real big deal there, however, me and a flash suited for that particular camera never came about. They quit making the camera and the specialized flash units.
I think the K1000 WAS the one that replaced it.

The K-mount lenses are still popular.
There's quite a few on mflenses that use them on various Sony and Fuji digital cameras by using a mount adapter.
For me , the Nikon F mount is still king, and the nikon f mount lenses work extremely well on the Nikon D-810.
Apparently, the last (?) Nikon DSLR is the D-6. All the new ones to follow will be mirrorless...

Due to my age (69), health, and other factors, I don't get around much anymore and lost most interest in photo's.
I now use a small digital Lumix with a Leica lens. The lens is fixed and not removable. It is my go-to camera because it is so easy to operate. I also have a digital Nikon D-3200 with a telephone lens. I got my wife a digital Cannon 50D (I think) but she has only used it once.
Since the invent of the camera phones I see this art disappearing. Some of the newer camera phones are really good and you don't have to carry a bulky camera bag around with you.
Not saying these beat a SLR 35mm nor have I ever said that CD's and tapes are better than vinyl records but as times change I have changed some too.
