Dissecting my Nikkor 35 - 80 zoom lens

9 years 9 months ago - 9 years 8 months ago #389742 by vapskill
I have used this lens from 1984 on wards till I buy new generation  D5100 DSLR with 18 - 105 zoom. This Nikkor 35 - 80 zoom lens was very handy zoom for many events with Nikon film cameras. I tried to sell this lens but turned out more troublesome, so I thought of dissecting the lens and tried to get inside information. I will be dissecting few more lenses soon. 

I am conducting workshops for Video, Audio tracks, Photo and computers.

That lens is probably not worth too much. Hack away!

No, it isn't worth much, but it's reputed to be one of the better "consumer" grade zoom lenses optically...

The old manual focus lenses are not too bad to tear apart, and put back together. Have fun!
