Synthoid Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 It seems that most zooms these days are variable aperture.... but I don't remember them back in the days of film. When did they start appearing on the scene? I have 3 zoom lenses for my old Nikon F2 and they are all fixed aperture. Quote When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray.

RichieP_MechE Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Don't know for sure but I would guess late 70s/early 80s. There are some Canon FD zooms from that era with variable aperture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthoid Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 OK thanks. I have an old 35-85mm Vivitar Series One, 2.8 fixed aperture lens. About average sharpness but great for low-light situations. Quote When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
