Hi,

There's a lot useful information about Nikkor lens here:

I hope this helps,

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
