I was considering the purchase of a Nikon fisheye lens (8mm
2.8). However, the AI prong and f-stop coupling ring have
been
removed from the lens so that it could be mounted on a movie
camera. This raises a couple of questions:
1) Would the lens be completely screwed by this? Or would
it
work just fine in manual mode, how you would likely use it
for
shooting panos anyhow?
2) If I wanted to fix the lens by replacing the removed
connectors, would that be feasible? Is the AI prong
irrelevant to
a DSLR anyhow? The serial number of this lens is 240771,
which
makes it an AI lens. It was 243001 when they started AIS.
If I
could and did get the coupling ring replaced, would this
lens
work to let the camera display exposure information?
Sorry for going OT and perhaps asking an ignorant question.
John
