Could someone please explain me what the K version is?
lens series nr. 208549 |
Type K is pre-AI, but has the same "new" styling of the focus ring etc as the AI and AIS lenses (rubber focus ring instead of scalloped metal). The K series also had factory AI conversion kits available, while most of the older Nikkor lenses did not.
To identify by serial number see this table

It should be inexpensive. It may already have been AI converted.
If cost is a major consideration, and its already AI converted, and costs very little, then its a reasonable lens.
If its not converted (so the conversion cost has to be added on top), or if you can afford a little more, then getting a Nikkor AIS 28mm f/2.8 will give significantly better quality especially at the wider apertures and at closer distances. _________________ Camera (ˈkæ mə rə), n.
