Nikkor SC 5cm f/1.4 on an M8

[asianhombre]

So my uncle recently sent me a haul of his old photographic equipment, and among it all was his old Nikon RF camera with two Nikkor lenses, a 13.5cm and the 5cm f/1.4. Anyone have some experience shooting the M8 with these lenses? I'll post photos once I take them.

If this is a redundant query, kindly point me in the right direction, as my searching was in vain.

S or LTM mount ? Optically the same though.

Not sure how to tell. I'll assume the 5cm is the "S" mount since it says "Nikkor-S C" with the "C" in red.

I'm guessing Nikon S-mount since the lenses came with a Nikon RF camera. In that case you need an adapter like this.

Nope, that doesn't indicate S-mount. The "S" in "Nikkor-S" indicates seven elements in the optical design. The red "C" indicates that the lens is coated. See:

Nice DIY, but few have that sort of talent or machinery. 😉
