  1. ¡Coño qué cosa más rara!, supongo que por el factor de conversión digital/analógico equivale a una "antiguo" 18mmm. A ver si nos muestras que fotografías es capaz de captar este aparatejo.

  2. On a full frame DSLR (D700, D800 5DMkII & III etc) it would still be 6mm. On a
    APS-C sensor it would be around 9mm... Still not too shabby! ha

  4. All nikon analogue lenses will work with Nikon DSLRs. The lens can be taken off the camera that you see it mounted on in the pictures above.

    Cheers!
