  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Selling as a kit or can sell the 28 & 35 separately.
I'd have to hold on to the 85 & 135 if the other two are sold separately.

Can you let me know more about what model these are? I assume they are RTS and not G or N, but are they AE, MM, AEJ, MMJ? Which ones if any have the ninja star? Thank you.
 
If they are AE, all the aperture numbers will be in white and the serial number will start with 5 or 6. If they are MM, the lhighest aperture number (usually 22) will be in green, and the SN will usually start with 7 or 8 (sometimes a high-6 number). The J refers to lenses made in Japan, so MMJ is an MM lens made in Japan, while AEG would be an AE lens made in West Germany.
 
Thanks. I knew all this when I bought them, but that was a while ago and forgot.

28mm - MMJ
35mm - AEJ
85mm - MMJ
135mm - MMJ

The 35 2.8 "may" have a ninja-star aperture, but the lens is so small that in all likelihood it would be very hard to notice. I had a 28 2.8 AEJ and it was very hard to see the ninja star, if at all.
