Blijft altijd leuk, die teardowns van Lens Rentals.

Prachtig om te zien hoe e.e.a. in elkaar zit (weet je gelijk waarom het zo lastig en duur is om het ff te repareren). En heerlijk om het commentaar van Roger Cicala te lezen.
Vooral als de Nikon Marketing afdeling beweert dat SWM aandrijving veeeeel beter is dan focussering met tandwieltjes... tuurlijk...

"This view also exposes Nikon’s ongoing creative marketing. Many of you probably think the designation of SWM on this lens, which stands for Silent Wave Motor, means you get an expensive ring ultrasonic motor. Not so much. That’s the focusing motor there with the green band around it. Fanboys are going to scream that I’m splitting hairs trashing Nikon’s marketing about SWM, since this is technically an ultrasonic motor (although other manufacturers have the decency to call them micro-ultrasonic to differentiate them from ring-ultrasonic). Let’s look at a screen grab from the Nikon page for the 105mm f/1.4E ED AF-S lens:
http://www.nikonusa.com/e...-105mm-f%252f1.4e-ed.html
Note Nikon’s text says “–rather than a gear system–to focus the lens”. If you look at the motor, what do you see? Correct. A gear system to focus the lens. The lens still focuses just fine and while it’s not silent, it is very quiet. But please don’t tell me it’s “better than a lens with a gear system” when it has a gear system, OK? Y’all must think nobody’s ever going to open up your lenses and see you’re blowing smoke up our internet."

" I’ll go back to my natural sarcastic state, and we’ll take another look at that Silent Wave Motor that’s ‘better than one with a gear system.’"
Goh, waar lijkt dit op? Tandwieltjes misschien?
