Ai Modification/conversion Of Nikon Nikkor Classic Lens
Nikon has a long history of producing great lenses for the 35mm format, beginning in the post-wwii era with rangefinder lenses and continuing through its many famous slr cameras and into today’s digital camera lenses. Many of the legends from the nikon f / f2 / nikkormat days are still great lenses because they were built so well, and they are often available at very low cost because 1 they are manual focus, and 2 they cannot safely be mounted on most cameras built after 1977 because they may damage the meter coupling system. The ai (automatic indexing) meter coupling tab may be bent by the straight-cut aperture ring of the older nikkors, and the minimum-aperture sensing switch on many autofocus and digital models can be damaged as well. When nikon introduced ai lenses they made replacement aperture rings to convert some of the older nikkor lenses. Those factory rings are pretty hard to come by for the most popular lenses, and expensive when you find them. In this listing i offer an alternative: milling the existing aperture ring to the ai profile to duplicate the effect of the nikon factory replacement ring. Here’s the process: i remove the aperture ring from the lens and use a dremel drill press with an end mill bit to make precise cuts in the back end of the aperture ring to match the ai profile for the particular lens model. The profile varies according to the maximum and minimum apertures available. This is a full modification, not a partial modification just to create the ai ridge such as is offered on some web sites. After milling i carefully finish and repaint the bare metal, and when there is space and a flat surface i place a printed label with the adr numbers, white-on-black like the real thing.
Please view the photos for some in-process views — immediately after cutting, a cut with the meter coupling shoe left in place, a modified ring after priming and painting, and the finished product viewed from the lens mount end. Thus modified, it can be mounted safely on any nikon slr (including af and digital), although metering functions may be limited or unavailable on later electronic models — check your camera manual for details. Also, nikon names a few lenses which can never be mounted on certain electronic and digital bodies even with the factory conversion, so be sure to check your manual if you have an unusual lens. Many of these (such as the 55mm f/1.2) can be made safe with a small additional modification, so ask me about that. For digital users, this modification will not interface with the meter on d50, d70, d80, d90, or d100 models, but can be used in aperture-priority mode with d1, d1h, d1x, d2h, d2x, d3, d3s, d3x, d200, d300, d700, and d7000. Note for d40, d40x, d60, d3000, d3100, d5000, and d5100 owners: you do not need this modification. Pre-ai lenses can be used on those bodies without modification, but only in full manual mode — manual focus of course, manual aperture and shutter speed selection.
I will return your pre-ai meter coupling shoe in case you wish to re-mount it for compatibility with older cameras. Or if you tell me in advance, i can leave the shoe on the aperture ring during milling so that it will be ground even with the cut i make in the ring. If you choose this option there will be no adr numbers added. This service is available for most pre-ai nikkor lenses.
I have modified the following. 28mm f/2, f/2.8, & f/3.5. 35mm f/1.4, f/2, & f/2.8. Pc-nikkor 35mm f/2.8 & f/3.5. 55mm f/1.2 (includes lens surround modification to permit use on f4). 5.8cm f/1.4 (includes lens surround modification when needed to permit use on later bodies). 135mm f/2, f/2.8, & f/3.5. Nikon used several mechanical designs to attach and link the aperture ring, but i believe i have seen and successfully worked most of them. Some early models and some very late (k-version) models have a smaller diameter aperture ring which needs to be built up with a small metal plate in order to engage the ai tab. I have seen this on some models of the 20mm f/3.5 ud, 28mm f/3.5, early models of 3.5cm/35mm f/2.8, and the early nikkor-s 5cm (50mm) f/2.
I mention this as an appearance issue, and i will let you know after inspection whether your lens will need this. Photo #6 shows this buildup on an early 3.5cm f/2.8 lens. If your lens is not listed above, please check with me.
It is most likely i still can modify it. If it is an early model, the kind with no visible screws holding on the lens mounting flange, i definitely can modify it.
Please note: occasionally i find a lens which has been worked on before (cleaning, maintenance) and the repair shop used glue or loctite to seal the mounting screws in place. This hasn’t happened yet, but i have had to put great time and effort into removing some screws. When i receive your lens i will inspect it carefully and send you a report of any issues or problems i find, just so we both know where we are before i begin work. Little things like loose screws, misadjustments, or bent filter rings i may offer to fix (no charge) if you agree.
I’m not looking for lens repair work, so i’m not going to find big “problems” which you should pay me lots extra to “fix”. Of course i will tell you if i see a big problem so you can decide whether you wish to proceed with the modification.
Occasionally i get a request to mill the straight round-bottom notch in the lens mount that ai-s lenses have. My equipment is capable of doing that, but i won’t. Milling that “divot”, as i call it, won’t convert it to ai-s. The divot only tells the very few camera bodies which care that it is an ai-s lens.
The internal aperture mechanism is what makes it an ai-s lens — it guarantees a linear response of the little aperture control lever on the back of the lens so that the camera knows what the actual aperture is by how far it moves that lever. Older lenses may not have a linear response, so cutting that divot will only fool the camera into making an incorrect exposure. But this actually only applies to a few film cameras from the early ’80s, like the fa, fg, n2000/f301, and n2020/f501. And even they worked fine with ai or ai-converted lenses. Ai-s only enabled shutter-priority and some program modes to work better.
So in summary: you can’t convert a lens to ai-s, and you don’t need to anyway. Every so often i get a request to modify someone’s favorite old vivitar/tokina/whatever lens. In fact, i have never seen one which does. The aperture ring does not extend behind the lens mount surface, so there is nothing to cut to form the ai ridge.
It may be possible to modify these lenses by adding a bit of metal to the edge of the ring, but i do not offer this service. It will cover most lenses for conversion; many are less and a few are more. Most lenses are only $5 – $10. I offer a discount for multiple lenses in one order.
Additional lenses over two are $32 each. You can get an even better price if you are handy with small tools and want to remove the aperture ring yourself and send it alone. Ask for details and instructions. It is my intention to provide turnaround time no longer than 4 days, but don’t hold me to a strict schedule. Occasionally, business trips or personal events may cause a small delay. So take advantage of great prices on those wonderful older lenses!

Nikon 14-24mm F/2.8g Ed Af-s Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens
I have another batch of some nikon lenses that i need to part ways with. Since moving, my 24-70mm 2.8 along with the 50mm 1.4 have been perfect because the rooms are much larger. In all, this lens has been used on only one camera, my d700.
It has seen between 150-250 total shots taken with it. It truly is a phenominal piece of nikon glass and will definately be a welcomed addition to someones nikon lens collection! I can’t justify keeping it sitting in the bag on a shelf anymore. The lens is in immaculate condition. Nothing other than a microfiber cloth has come into contact with the glass.
All other times i use an air duster to remove dust from the lens. This lens comes with all of the original packinging and every item that was originally included. I haven’t registered this lens yet… Below are the specifics for what is included.
1 14-24 2.8 nikkor lens. 1 original manual for the lens. 1 original nikon carrying case. 1 origial 14-24mm 2.8 box.
The lens itself has never been dropped, scratched, or had any sort of liquid damage. It is free from corosion, there is nometal flaking within the lens elements, no mold or mildew on or in the lens itself, and all contacts are perfect. I take great care of my dslr cameras, lenses, and accessories. I treat them like a 2nd part of my family, so i hope this lens will find someone who will treat it with great care.
Questions pertaining to this will go unresponded. Outside of that, if there are any other questions. Please don’t hesistate to ask. I can typically respond within a few hours.
The lens itself will be packed with protective foam and cushioning so nothing damaging will happen to it during transit. More nikon cameras, lenses, and accessories will be listed in the upcoming weeks.
Quick correction, i was made aware of a type-o in my listing. It was meant to say that there is “no metal flaking” instead of “nonmetal”.
Clear, fast, great wide lens. Although the price is high the lens is sharp, fast, and wide-enough as needed. For newspaper work it’s used most of the time. It would be great if they made it a 1.4 for this price. Member SinceView Member’s. User has 1 Day of experience with this product. Very little loss at the edges. Zoom and manual focus very precise. Front cap tends to run away (it’s a bit of a loose fit). The NIKKOR Ultra-Wide Zoom AF-S G ED Lens (14-24mm, F/2.8) is unusually sharp at the…
