#NIKKOR

The lenses are a mixed bag.

The #Nikkor AF 35-70 f/3.3-4.5 (non-D) is super annoying to use. I never liked variable aperture zooms. Especially with film cameras.

One of the MF Super Cosina 35-135 has some serious mold in it. I'll blast it with UV light, just to deactivate the mold and stop it from spreading. But I think it's a goner.

The other Super Cosina 35-135 seems decent for what it is. Nothing I'll ever use outside a #ShittyCameraChallenge (which I can now participate in! Yey! 🥳 )

Status so far:

The #NikonF301 works. Light meter gives realistic values and spot-checking it with my external light meter seems decent.

The #NikonF401S had some serious corrosion in the battery compartment. Cleaned it off with some rubbing alcohol, now it detects the batteries and even focusses with the #Nikkor AF 35-70mm f/3.3-4.5. BUT it won't recognize the (DX-coded) roll of Tri-X I put in. Bummer.
