I just received my 28 (P/N 11 333), and the mirror of my D800E hits the mounting ring of the rear element when the lens is focussed at infinity. Does anyone else see this?The 28 2.8 and 35 f2 work perfectly with no mods necessary other than the mount conversion.
I just checked infinity focus with my 1:2.8/28, and it's pretty much spot on. That would rule out the second point in your list. I wonder if the mirror assembly of my D800E is out of spec. I'll post images of the lens rear element and the camera mirror box ASAP.Ron, the ring shouldn't interfere with the mirror. This leaves 3 possibilities:
-for some reason, a different ring has been used during assembly
-lens focus excursion needs adjustment
-mirror position slightly moved from standard.
Guy, post 103 in this thread.Wondering if anyone can do me a favor and take a few shots of the rear shroud and placement. I want to see how much to shave and exactly where. I done this before but hard to remover he details. Thanks in advance
19 mm that is. Also would love. To hear of some filter adapter setup
