You didn't like the "feel" of the Nikkors you sold to me, Orio?
I think they have a great feel, pleasant haptics. I really like those pre-AI lenses.
I haven't realised that in many other Japanese lenses though, definitely in my Tokina AT-X Pro 12-24, an AF lens that feels as solid as an old metal MF glass. My Mamiya 1.8/50 has that feel and - a little surprisingly - my Rikenon 1.7/50.

The pre-AI, yes. Although more for how they look like, than for how they feel in the hands.
I dislike the AI lenses and of course also the AF lenses.
I dislike the EF Canon lenses.
I visually like the FD Canon lenses but I never held one in my hands.
I dislike the look and feel of Yamahas (although I think that optically the ML lenses are amongst the best Japanese lenses)
Takumars feel ok to me, but not more than that.
The Tamrons that I have tried felt really cheap in my hands.
I never really tried Minoltas and Zuikos so I can not speak about them.

To summarize, I prefer lenses that feel solid and metal and heavy.

I guess Yamahas are considerably more expensive than Yashicas. Laughing Wink

But, Orio, maybe you should go into the nearest camera store and take the Tokina 12-24 in your hands. Then you know what I mean. It really feels nice.

Sure I will. If perform well on my Olympus it will be perform very well on other DSLR too I guess. 2x crop factor pretty much, my Nikon D50 was less sensitive for lenses.

Yes, postal services works fine, even to far countries like Japan or China. I had no problem ever with delivery time. Hopefully you will enjoy your new toy. Today I used your lens Soligor 28mm f2 C/D , seems a great lens. I will publish them later.
