The outstandingly amazing 6mm Nikkor f/2.8. How's about that for a selfie?
Come and check out the story of it all here. :cool:
 
Wise decision not to take the lens out for some crowd shots in Shinjuku. Can you imagine the joy in the heart of the first pigeon to spot that beautiful expanse of pristine glass? :eek:
 
Remarkable lens and story, but what is even more remarkable is that

  • A lens cap was available as an accessory
  • A tele-converter was made for this lens
!!!
 
so all the excitement was already over when i arrived
10:10 am and it was already jam packed full of early birds not in the hunt for the 6mm.

it was totally awesome for the organizers to give you proper respect (being first in line even if somebody butted in). kudos to them and to all your efforts.

Nice way for some Japanese in the photography industry to express their disappointment with Olympus' heavy-handed culturalist approach, too.
 
Great story mate and congratulations. I wonder how many of these were ever made and what it cost in its day? Would love to see some shots from it.
All the best, Alan.

I can see the lens cap as an accessory because if you lose one, you will want another, fast. But a tele-converter? I don't get that for sure.

But great catch, and kudos on your perserverance, and the respect shown you. It says a lot about you and your reputation.
