Hello, I am selling my rare Nikkor 5cm f2 collapsible ltm lens that was just recoated by a leica technician at a cost of $300 to me (link to pictures:
- this lens renders beautifully and is amazingly sharp and contrasty considering its age
- I believe that this lens was made in 1948 or 1949 and has user wear to prove it
- clean oil free aperture
- maybe original lens cap included
- smooth focus throw
- there is faint evidence of long-gone oil deposition on the element behind the aperture, this is only visible under a very strong backlight and has not been found to alter image contrast or resolution.
- $440 shipped in CONUS or I will consider trades for neopan 1600, provia 400x, or an eos 1v.
