It cost me £237 from Microglobe. The only complaint I have with them is that the lens is not UK sourced and so does not have a Nikon guarantee. It's return to Microglobe, which leaves me wondering what happens if they go out of business. My advice is get it from Kerso, where I have got all my other lens from.
What would the difference be between buying a grey import from Kerso and one from Microglobe? The warranty situation is the same, assuming Kerso pays the VAT on his imports.
Kerso's aren't grey imports. He gives a full UK manufacturers guarantee.
Im after the 24mm Prime for my D80. For the price and the results I have seen its great value for money. Around £230 i think.
Of course they are,all of Kerso's stuff is- they come from the US and the warranty isn't a UK one, it's Nikon US "International" one -look at the warranty card, it tells you who the original distributor is. Also, if you look in the box with any of his Nikon lenses you'll find a Nikon 5 Year Guarantee - from Nikon USA......
If you have genuine Nikon gear - it won't go wrong!
You will get standard metereing on any new Nikon lens with ANY lens made with AIS or more modern.
No, many cameras will not meter. D80 is one that won't.
D200, D300, D700 + the D2 range will.
Are we talking about the 35mm f2 or the 24mm f2.8? Im confused
But the most recent 24mm 2.8 will meter on the D80?
