History
The Nikon Micro-NIKKOR-P Auto 1: 3.5 f = 55mm lens, with serial number 663401, presented in this review, belongs to the Micro-Nikkor class 55 / 3.5 lens line. All Micro-Nikkor 55 / 3.5 lenses are built on the basis of the same optical design for 5 elements in 4 groups. The line itself has a lot of different versions and sub-versions, the main ones are:
- Nippon Kogaku Japan Micro-NIKKOR 1: 3.5 f = 5.5cm, produced in a small batch from 1961-1963, two versions with different thread designs for the filter.
- Nippon Kogaku Japan Micro-NIKKOR Auto 1: 3.5 f = 55mm, 1963-1969. There are several modifications that differ only in different marks on the lens body.
- Nippon Kogaku Japan Micro-NIKKOR-P Auto 1: 3.5 f = 55mm, 1969-1971. The prefix 'P' in the name of the lens means 'Pente' - 'Five', i.e. 5 elements in the optical scheme.

- Nikon Micro-NIKKOR 55mm 1: 3.5 PK-3, 1975-1977, the so-called 'new' or 'K' model.
- Nikon Micro-NIKKOR 55mm 1: 3.5 PK / PK-3.13, 1977-1979, AI version. Several subversions.

The diaphragm device consists of only 6 petals.
On the case there is a focus distance scale, the depth of field scale (in the form of colored stripes) and a label for working in the infrared spectrum. Separately, it is worth noting the additional scale, which only works with the optional Nikon M2 extender.

Such a ring with Micro-Nikkor 55 / 3.5 retains automatic iris control. Actually, the prefix 'Auto' in the name of the lens just talks about the automatic iris of the lens.

I have the same, I shoot on the d700 very satisfied. Of course the picture with the d810 is juicier at times, but it's hard to notice
You are sorry, but only color blind will not notice if the picture is juicier at times. Or then not at times. There is no third
I use this, but rarely, macro fifty dollars is somehow out of my hands, for nature, micro-nikkor 4/200 is more popular, + 1,5 converter, and for the little thing, 2,8 / 50 el-nikkor is upside down form
scale 1: 2 - well, somehow not very ....
If I'm not mistaken, then there is a calculation that 1: 1 is obtained with a regular Nikon M2 macro ring.
