Don,
I've done this to my Series 1 Macro (I think it is the 90-180 Flat-Field). Not sure of the range, but I know it's the Flat-Field. As far as I can tell, it hasn't affected the lens in the least. I just filed it down with a metal file to an appropriate size . . . oh, and I protected the rear elements and openings with electrical tape.
Good Luck, IL Bill On Oct 25, 2004, at 5:10 PM, Don Sanderson wrote:
I have several older Vivitar lenses I'd like to try on the D. Problem is the flange that protects the aperture control lever on the rear side won't let them mount. Does anyone know of any downside to cutting this flange down to the size it is on newer lenses? It'll probably wreck the resale value but I'm really curious to see how they do on the digi.
