Nikkor QC 5cm 3.5 rigid ltm lens

[nhchen]

I've just bid on some lenses that looks to include a rigid nikkor 5cm 1:3.5 lens in ltm mount. I can't seem to find much about this lens, searches mostly come up with the micro-nikkor s-mount version. Has anyone used this lens before?

Regards, Nathan

Thanks, I hadn't seen that article before. Only paid a little for it so I'll will see how it is once I get it.

I have this lens. The filters are nearly impossible to find. I use a 32mm push on filter. I wound a thin strip of PVC tape around the outside and slipped it on, gripping on the outside of the filter (a B+W KR1.5). It looks good and is unobtrusive. The lens handles well and does not intrude at all into the viewfinder. Optically the lens is great. Good bokeh and pleasing colours when used with colour negative film. Maybe its the combination of lens + that particular filter but for whatever reason, I find the colours particularly nice.
