I want it!
NIKON KIU
Did you say Nippon Kogaku?
So, are you going to bid?
Considering the camera body is worth about a grand, this is a good deal at the starting bid.

I may bit. I am considering it. The seller said picking it up in person is acceptable. He is in Hong Kong. He sent me a number of extra pictures, but for some reason will not provide the full serial number.

As for the S3 being worth a grand, I'd say closer to $700 in this market.
If the S3 didn't have any scratches on the paint near the eyepiece, maybe $900 - $1,000, but with the scratches I agree its worth closer to $700.

Any sources for shots of standard test patterns on Kodachrome when the vintage 35 was new to compare against?

It turns out the lens does not come with the correct rear cap. You literally get what you see in the picture, that is all.

We're talking about a reissue,right?
You guys are in Japan, where these are selling cheaper. Over here in the USA, it'll do a Grand or more.
I sold one for $1400 sometimes ago.

I am debating on this or the user copy here in Japan. I'll be in Hong Kong in two weeks and could pick this up.
What do you reckon the S3 2000 + 21/4 set will go for Kiu?

I doubt it will get a single bid! Wasn't this very same kit up for bids a while ago?

Edit: it was, here is the link to the thread on NHS forum, posted by the very same poster here:

I went ahead and order the Sanpou 2.1cm f/4 Nikkor-O today.
Order the 8.5cm f1.5 as well?

Nope, I don't have the money and I already have a great Nikon 85, the 85/2. I don't think I'll use that lens very often, so getting a second one just doesn't make sense.
I hope to do a shootout between the 3 s-mount 21mm lenses this weekend: 2.1cm/4, 21/4.5 Biogon and CV 21/4. If I am not impressed by the 2.1cm it will be going back. 😱
That's partly why I passed on the 85 as well. I have a great copy of the 85/2.
Sanpou has a good return policy, from memory up to one month. Post your 21mm test shots!

I will post the shots for sure. I the lens turns out well it will be going with me to Vietnam. I'm taking an S2 with me for sure! From the few shots I've seen from the lens I was very impressed with it looking on a light table, but I want to shoot into difficult light and see how those scratches will affect the performance.
In the end, I'm not a collector, so I cannot justify buying thing that I won't use. I do however love using obscure and interesting lenses. This 2.1cm will get a ton of use if I keep it and selling the 21/4.5, 21/4, F-S/C adapter and 15 SL will basically pay for it.

It certainly will get used. Looking forward to seeing some pics.
And please think of me first if/when you go to sell the Biogon 21/4.5 :angel:
