HU: Nikon RF lenses at Goodwill

[andrew]

Hi Everyone,

I just saw this auction at goodwill (a second hand store chain that does some good work socially and the source of much of my wardrobe - my two cents):

http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=2708990

I don't own any Nikon RF equipment, and I don't know the seller or make any claims about these lenses but there seem to be three of them: an 85, a 50, and a 135 all with cases, so it might be interesting to someone here at RFF. Either way, I hope you all have a good weekend.

Thanks,
Andrew

I've bought a few things from this site and I can say the quality is often poor. It's real hit-or-miss, and there are more misses than hits. The people selling the stuff usually have very little photographic knowledge. The shipping is also expensive. There is a handling charge based on a percentage of the sales price.

If you look further down, they're also including a very early Nikon S (with RED leather! ... is it Jorge's?) and what appears to be a 35/3.5, plus the 1951 receipts, accessories and instruction book. All the lenses are marked "Tokyo" which makes them early collectibles, though not too rare.

Really not a bad find. Good wholesale value might be a minimum of $650. It's an intact 1951 kit with the four original lenses.
