Yeah... I have a Switar 10mm that I love to shoot with.  I would love a 
5.7mm.  As an aside, how does a 10mm Switar + a Wiko .42X Wide angle adapter 
compare to an Ang. or Kinoptic equivalent?  Is it even in the same ballpark?

Anyway, I figured that if a Nikon zoom had better optics than many of the 
older Angies, it would be good to have a medium-range (35-80mm) Nikkor in my 
camera bag.

Chris, to answer your questions, the back-focus issue is taken care of by 
the mount adapter (Nikon -> C Mount) because C-mount has a much deeper 
flange distance.  I would guess that the smaller Nikkors with the adapter 
would certainly not be heavier than an Angie 12-120 or 15-150.

But has anyone tested a newer generation Nikkor against an Angie 12-120 or a 
Zeiss 10-100?
