IX lenses have a flange that makes them incompatible with regular F mount. You can Dremel that flange off, but the lens barrel might very well be sticking out the back. I am guessing it would work from 28 and up on your D50 and 40 and up on your D7200. I would not pay $60.
I just bought a Pronea camera with 20-60 and 60-180 for Ca$30 and sold the 60-180 after the Dremel trick to someone who will use it for macros.
I was just wanting to know if anyone actually still has this lens,
and better yet ,Do you still shoot with it and what? I have the opportunity to purchase it for around 60.00. What in this world is the IX? mounting type I’m guessing, so will it be an investment, or a ??
AND… is it compatible with my 7200, or the D50.
Or would my hard earned money be better spent on something else, If so What?
In my bag of tricks I have the 50mm1.8 , 35mm, 18-55 kit-, 70-200mm, and the 55-200mm , and shoot withe either the ol favorite D50 or my newest weapon in my line of arsonal the D7200,
So should I….. Or Shouldn’t I….?
