Picked this up 2 days ago in a small collection of RF nikon

any one got a hood to spare?

sadly back cap is "mostly ear-less"

Douglas, the generic plastic rear cap sold by "Heavystar" should work fine, given that you want to use that lens, not re-sell it... 😉

Very nice find indeed.

but, but, bu....I wanna hood.

So far I've seen three sizes of rear cap for the Nikon RF lenses, not including the ultra-deep 2.1cm one, so that makes four.
The 8.5cm, 10.5cm and 13.5cm all use the same depth cap, the 2.8cm and the slower 3.5cm lenses use a slightly deeper size. The 3.5cm f/1.8 uses a significantly deeper one still and finally the 2.1cm uses that monster. I'm willing to bet the 2.5cm uses the same one as the 3.5/1.8.
Interestingly, the NKK metal rear cap from the chrome 3.5cm f/2.5 doesn't fit the 2.8cm f/3.5 but the plastic cap is the same between both lenses.

EDIT: I forgot to mention: DROOL! An amazing find!

Ah, the rare camera gods are smiling on you. Good find, Doug.

...by the way, a black SP or black S3 make the perfect "lens cap" for the 2.1cm.

Pardon my ignorance, but are the hood for F and S version of the lens identical? Do they share diameter? Is there any difference?

 

[bugmenot]

Those hood prices ... O_O ... Wow ...

According to Tom A the hood is not really needed from a users point of view. One of our Japanese members is quite knowledgeable with regard to this lens, I'm suprised he has not answered your query. Quite infrequently the F lens appears, I have had two and found it to be a good performer, but R/F is in the realm of the collector, what a find!

Best,

normclarke.

 

[normclarke]

The hoods have a different form for each version.
