testing historic lenses?

Not really, I was trained on the MTF bench yesterday and that was a lens we had lying around that is has been essentially locked in a metal block for life so it may easily be coupled to the MTF bench.

this is no standard F mount =)

 

(as far as evaluating their specs goes - I meant MTF claims.  The 55mm AF-D version may be the same optics - nikon didn't update several lenses when they went AF-D)
