I didn't publish any samples taken with this lens, it was really bad looking to me.

That nikon zoom is legendary for being a dog. The E series are an old "cheapo" range using (then new) plastics and they would not label them "nikkor". As far as I am aware almost the only good lens out of that range is the 100/2.8, although it is still a piece of lightweight plastic it is optically very good.

The 50mm 1.8 E is optically very good (just needs a hood), as is the 135 E. The 28 & 35 E's gave the sort of performance I'd expect, not up to the Nikkors but far from bad. Supposedly the 70-150 E zoom is optically very good for a zoom, but suffers from an over loose focus/zoom ring.
What gets me is the build quality of the Nikon E's might be plastic, but they're better made than today's consumer Nikkors and even had metal lens mounts...

Hi, Klauss.
I'm in Argentina. I don't know how you could get my SF 85/4 if you want it. Perhaps somebody can tell us the Know How (ship, etc). If you're agree, tell me this.

I have the Nikon-E 70-150, and it is actually very nice (not that my standards are very high). It also doesn't feel like plastic (though parts of it are), its quite well made.

Send as registered, signed-for airmail. Declare as gift, and put also a gift certificate into the box. This help to Klaus to not pay tax.If you insure, perhaps he need to pay tax based on insure value. In my experience , registered, signed-for air-mail is fast, secure way to transfer lenses to any country.

I can verify that - Attila's individually sent me a Sonnar 180 and 300 neither of which are exactly svelte and both took a week max. to travel from Hungary to the UK.
IIRC the 180 may have been even less - 5 days.

My two Takumar 28's are decent enough lenses - one a Super the other a SMC. Very similar to the SMC-A 28/2.8, in resolution and color rendition. None of these is a WOW lens: they are quiet and just get the job done without too much fuss. For a lens afficionado this sort of behavior is sort of disappointing: we're looking for that feeling of amazement. But I can verify that the resolution is actually very good indeed and they do not fall apart in less than ideal conditions like many lesser lenses do.
