I got one, a 3.5 there is a version before this in which the white serial numbers are recessed halfway into the areas where the small outer lens to air surface is recessed. Making for potential flare issues. Like "Micro-NIKKOR 55mm" emblazoned across your overcast skies, Mines all black in there like they figured out a bit later probably taking a tip from Zeiss designs, I think this one is early 70s one of my favorite eras for affordable (cheap) AI Nikon SLR glass which I love to scoop up on whims. I got the thing for 99 bucks give or take. That's my whim price point. About the cost of most the other versions in the case. On consignment probably. Can't wait to put it on my new D200 whenever I get that soon and then have a deadly 75mm people lens., Compact. Unobtrusive. A stealth lens. You don't even know there's glass in there. And cheap.
