Hi every sifu here just have a question about is it worth change my kit lens 18-55mm VR to vivitar 135mm f2.8(nikon mount)?I dont mind losing the auto focus and set all the setting myself

Im using nikon d3100, so u mean really hard to get sharp image in manual focus?Yeah love the prime lens BOKEH!!

Hmm how about half body shot? saw some pic that came out from this lens really nice haha

Yeah I did realise the focal length will be longer on dx body but most of the time the object that I want capture was sitting still so I will have time to slowly focus haha so should I keep my kit lens and buy this as second lens?hmm I saw somewhere there is a nikon 135mm f2 but of course manual focus not like canon auto focus

hahahahaha the 85mm gonna make a big hole on my wallet my budget only can afford a prime lens around rm200

Any sifu here know wat place to hunt for old AI nikon lens for cheap price?

Hi every sifu here!Can I join with this set up

Almost correct haha its a vivitar 135mm f2.8 non ai

Be aware that the addition of glass on the adapter will causes degradation on image quality if you buy a cheap adapter. Anyway nikon have tons of vintage lens like the non ai .ai, ais lens which I believe your camera can utilize very well. Just my 2 cent haha

Here some info that require you heavy reading abit haha

Basically all nikon lens with F-mount should be no problem when mount on your DF camera except the nikon rangefinder camera lens that have S-mount which is totally different mount. So that mean most of the nikon lens should be mount on your DF camera and also have the camera light meter working which is great haha. You might find some good vintage lens at a good price at ebay like nikon 55mm macro f3.5, nikon 135mm f2.8 and much more. Oh no wonder why you have this kind of vintage lens. Yeah saw that your DF selling thread I think the price can buy the other same range nikon full frame camera with more advance focus system, Im not sure tho haha sorry write so much haha hope you dont mind

Maybe at the range of RM200 to RM400 you can refer to ebay by searching vivitar 75-210 since this lens quite similar to yours lens. Still it depend on your lens condition (here the things you have to check: fungus, haze and amount of dust on the lens element, is the aperture blade free from any oil stain, is the zoom and focus ring turn on all range and lastly is the aperture ring click on every stops). BTW nice old lens you have there

First time with 135mm f2.8 manual lens hehehe

I need help from sifu that have went to service center in Menara PKNS at PJ to repair their camera before. I wanna ask is it possible I went there and ask them what problem with my DSLR but I dont want to repair, I just want to know what problem ( actually my D7000 LCD have dead but it still showing few vertical pixel line )

Thanks sifu

If want use adapter that have corrective lens please buy the expensive with good review one. Since cheap adapter they will put cheap corrective lens that will degrade your image quality.

May I know you using the m42 lens for taking photo or video? If you want manual focus lens, nikon actually have plenty of them which is very good
