I have a chance to buy one of these old rectilinear things. It is a non-AI version. Does anyone have experience with this lens and whether it will clear all the internal workings of a modern DSLR?

Ken Rockwell's take where it says it won't even mount on a modern camera. I carefully mounted it on a D700 and it clicked into place without any snags. I was afraid to take any photos lest the mirror flip up into a space occupied by lens structure.

AI vs non-AI

BTW, I already have a 17-35 f2.8 AFS.
