Hi there

I am in the market for top quality used Nikkor lenses for an F3 body. Need
wide angle 20-24mm of reasonable aperture and a zoom like 80-200mm of
fixed
aperture. Glass must be perfect and stops click positive and focussing
dead
smooth with no slack or slip. Might consider a fixed focal prime lens of
180
or 200mm as an alternative. Lens bodies free from dints or serious
scratches
or marks. What have you out there??

John

I don't know why you would want a "fixed aperture" zoom, but I would check
out keh first....they usually have a good selection of used Nikkors, and
their ratings are very conservative....Most of the lenses I have bought from
them were, "bargain" grade, and they have all been in excellent
condition...... www.keh.com

For the same reason that I would want a "fixed aperture" zoom.
f3.5 at 80mm and at 200mm, instead of f3.5 at 80mm and f5.6 at 200mm
(or something similar).

I despise the floating aperture zooms...will not have one.

Yes. I figured out that that was probably what you meant.....But try keh,
they do have a lot of good used lenses at reasonable prices......

You mean 'constant aperture', not 'fixed aperture'.

This question is more appropriately posted as a WTB (Want To Buy) in
rec.photo.marketplace and rec.photo.marketplace.35mm. OT in this
group.

Check eBay, too. And retail dealers, who sell used equipment. Best
source for them is the Shutterbug magazine (www.shutterbug.com) and its
classifieds web-site.
