Continued from last time
In this issue, I would like to write about the design of the
focus ring of vintage lenses.
The focusing ring is always used.
It is important to have a good grip.
It differs in its design among manufacturers.
I will comparison using two lenses sell by our company Vintage Shop Japan Inc.
Nikon Ai-s NIKKOR 28mm f/3.5
The focusing ring on Nikon lenses is
rectangular squares.
It is designed like a chocolate board.
Asahi Pentax Super Multi Coated TAKUMAR 35mm f/3.5
The focusing ring of the Asahi Pentax is in the form of a
horizontal groove only.
It may be made of steel, or it may be a machined pattern.
The age of the lenses are different from each other.
I have different designs in rubber and steel.
And.
I think the manufacturer’s unique grip design is interesting.
I’m still working on lenses from other manufacturers.
I have a slightly different design.
I will write about it in the next issue.
