I bought this Nippon Kogaku case for what I thought was my 35 mmm lens but the lens is to big to fit in the case...



Diamteter 55 mm
Height 33 mm

So - which lens should I be looking out for to fit this case ?

Great philosophy, looking for a lens to fit your recently acquired lens case. :D I usually buy a lens and then start looking for the missing bits, but I do like your approach.

Which 3.5cm lens are you trying to fit in there? Did you try to store it with or without the lens hood? It does make a difference, at least all my Nikon SLR lenses need to be stored without the hood in their respective cases. Not sure about Nikon RF, hopefully someone else can help you out.

I have the leather case for the 35/2.5 LTM, and it does indeed look a little different from yours (top doesn't overlap bottom?). Also, my 35/2.5 is very snug in its case, it won't fit with the wrong rear cap, for instance.

I would assume an even smaller wide angle, like the 28/3.5.

Jan - I thought I did it the other way around since I have the f/2,5 and f/3,5 35mm Nikon lenses and wanted a case to them - but they do not fit (in none of the dimentions with or without the rear cap!!:bang:) -- so now having this case it gives me a good reason to look for another lens !!:):)

Hi Jon,

I didn't notice you already had the f/2.5 and f/3.5 35mm lenses, now I see you have them listed below your name.

Are the dimensions you give the internal dimensions of the case?

I believe that's the case for the normal 5cm lens.
I will measure the one I have and reply.

Fantastic page anyway, I have bookmarked it!

Great stuff those links!
And especially looking at the linkes to the original 35mm cases it is clear that my case is not for the 35mm lens...

I will have to set aside some time this coming weekend to surf those pages on the net... lot´s of great pictures and information there!

Hi Jon,

This website mir.com.my is my on-line Nikon bible for everything concerning the F series. Everything I wanted to know about the Nikon F3 was right there, I don't think you can find this amount of info anywhere on-line.

As for the Nikon rangefinders, it seems they have only started. Some lenses are listed and others not yet, for instance, we're missing info on the 35 and 50mm lenses. But I'm sure that once they have finished, it will be a very informative source.
