One of the best way I use my Nikkor 120 AM is to front fit it with a Nikon close up No 4 T lens. This attachment is glass made and seems to have all the optics quality of a typical macro lens. It's...

You will not regret...

Great lens, super sharp. If the front barrel have the double white lines it's the equivalent of an Apo Sironar N. So I was told.
Happy shooting.

Happy Holidays to all, Happy shooting and thanks for all the help.

Not all Sinaron S lenses seem to have the white band, my 240 on DB (ser # 11281xxx) does while my 300 on DBM (ser#10800xxx) does not. Bob Salomon might provide a better answer since the lenses are...
