Dating 8.5cm Nikkor

Does this take gear fondling to a whole new level? 😀

I use a CV 85/3.5 for a throw-in-the-coat pocket, always-there lightweight lens. But the Nikkor 8.5cm/2 goes into the bag when I know I have important low-light shooting to do. Had it last night for an evening event with my 13-year-old, and needed the speed and reach.

Just go to the Nikon Historical Society" site on the left of the screen. Click on The "Nikon Rangefinder Compendium". It is not cheap, but worth every cent. 400+ pages of pictures and information, enough to make you drool severely. First reading, wear a bib!

I'm having second thoughts. I'm not sure if I would have the discpline to read the book and not buy 'one-more-item' 😀
