I stopped by a resale/consignment shop earlier today to try my luck at finding some old 78's. Over at the counter I noticed a Nice looking chrome Nikon F with a non-metered prism. The guy was asking $100 with a so-so 50mm/1.4 non-AI lens. I grabbed it up since I wanted a simple all mechanical camera, and this does the job. They also had a Nikkor 58mm/1.2 and a 135/3.5, each for $50. I passed on those since they are pretty close to what I already have.

Going to load some HP5 and do some shooting tomorrow! I'll pose some photos when I can.

Honestly I didn't look at it, It was on a shelf with the cameras, I asked to see the camera and the guy just said I have a 58/1.2 and a 135/3.5 for $50 each. I only had $100 to spend so I was kinda preoccupied with the F at the moment. Not even sure if it was a Noct or a 3rd party lens

The place is a resale shop in the middle of nowhere, in western NJ. I'll be down that way in a few days and I'll stop in again. I had no ideas the Noct was worth so much

It takes at least $300 to get into the 1.2 club, even for the unloved 55 1.2
58 1.4s are about $100
