There was a used "quantray" 800 mm mirror lens that i saw at the camera shop the other day. I got a Falcon 800mm mirror lens from ebay £150 pretty good for my pidly little nikon d40, very impressed with the quality of pics, especially compared to the 400mm vivatar prime i have Originally posted at 3:34PM, 4 July 2009 PSTĭavid Norfolk edited this topic ages ago. I wonder how many other names it's sold under? Opteka, perhaps? There's also a 500mm f6.3, otherwise somewhat similar, for £200.Īnybody have any experience with these? I'll probably be sticking with my f8 Tokina for now, being broke :-). And cost (last spring) about £300 in a high street camera store. It's f8, multicoated, takes 30.5 (rear) or 105mm filter, weighs 946g and comes in T-mount (natch). Unscientifically, it seems pretty OK to me. I've seen some photos from one of these beasts and handled one in a shop.

The recall advisory suggests that all of these serial numbers were issued in Japan – although that makes me wonder why they’re so bothered about an EU directive – so should not affect owners much in other places, but with the number of Nikons sold on eBay by sellers in Japan, it’s possible they could’ve made their way elsewhere in the world. If you’re an F6 owner and your serial number isn’t on the above list, then Nikon says you have nothing to worry about and can just carry on as normal. They also posted a very long list containing all 152 serial numbers, along with an image showing exactly where you can find it on the camera.

Regardless of the warranty period, we will take care of replacing the target product free of charge. Since July 22, 2019, the use of DBP has been restricted for electric and electronic devices, and the standard value has been applied.
This was discovered during our research based on our product environmental standards.Įuropean RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU + 2015/863/EU): A directive that restricts the use of specified hazardous substances in electric and electronic devices placed on the EU market.
Recently, it was revealed that some products of the film single-lens reflex camera “F6” contain parts that may contain dibutyl phthalate (DBP), which exceeds the standard value set by the European RoHS Directive *. Nikon has said that they’ll take care of the problem, though, and is offering to replace the product even if your warranty has already run out. Under recent revisions, it’s been limited for electrical and electronic devices, too. As of 1999, its use has also been restricted in teh production of children’s toys. Its use in the EU has been restricted in some way or another since 1976, where it was banned from use in cosmetics. DBP is a plasticizer used in the creation of certain plastics, like PVC.
