Camera and Coffee

Beautiful. Still love mine. Still gives me brilliant pictures.

Still have my EOS 5 somewhere. The last time I took it out it was suffering from the dreaded sticky rubber syndrome. I must retrieve it and see if it’s still functioning.
That can easily be cured with cheap pre-injection swipes, I got 100 of these for £2.

The only thing to worry about with these cameras is battery drain. I forgot a new 2CR5 battery in it and was empty 6 months later.
 
I believe the only version of the 105/2.5 in a Sonnar design was the first model in F mount. That's the one with the chrome barrel. I'm not really knowledgeable on the subject of lens designs so someone may correct me if I'm wrong. I just own a bunch of Nikkor lenses.

A question for the lens connoisseurs: Is this version of the Nikkor 2.5/105 a sonnar design? Also, it appears to be an AIs version but when I input the serial number (947123), AI tells me it's a pre-AIs version.
Nikon changed from the Sonnar design to Gauss design in 1972.
