Did Nikon really blow Leitz and Zeiss out of the water in 1950? Not quite, but....

While serving in the Navy, 1970’s, we stopped at Sasebo Japan where I bought Nikon equipment. I opted for Nikkormat as it was quite a bit less expensive than Nikon F. The body of my Nikkormat sure looks like an F but without the removable prism. I loaded up on lenses as well. I used it quite a lot while overseas. I still have all the Nikon equipment and make photos using only black and white film. Truth be known, I use my iPhone more than any film camera.

I am wondering if it’s screw mount?

Here is a little reference….

It’ a screw mount yes.
I also own a 35mm 2.5 and an 85mm 2.0 in LTM. And a Hexanon 35mm 2.0 LTM which is an optical copy of the Nikkor 35mm 1.8. At one time I owned that 35mm 1,8 lens but sold it to Raid many years ago
