FOR SALE

Nikkor-P 105 mm f/2.5 lens in Leica thread mount

Black and chrome, serial no. 919XXX. Aperture range f/2.5 - 32, focuses
down to 4 feet (with an almost 360-degree throw of the focusing helical).
Built-in tripod mount. Includes original shade, original velvet-lined brown
leather case with strap, original parallax-corrected shoe-mount optical
finder (marked "Nippon Kogaku Tokyo") in its own brown leather case, and
screw-on metal back cap. Coated optics. 52 mm filter thread.

Glass is perfect: no haze, no wipe marks. Absolutely no play or wobble in
aperture ring or focusing helical; in fact this lens has been used so
little that the action is still a bit stiff. Cosmetic condition of lens and
all accessories is mint, except for a tiny mark in the chrome portion of
the barrel, and millimeter-sized scuff marks on the edge of the case.

This is an unusual item, and also takes spectacular pictures. Hand-held
portraits taken with this lens at a range of 5-7 feet are nothing short of
gorgeous, and on a tripod it should be a wonderful landscape lens. Note
that when mounted on an M body using a screw-to-bayonet converter, the
actual lens coverage at infinity is almost exactly as indicated by the
90-mm framelines.

Price: $650 including UPS insured ground shipping to lower 48 U.S. states.
