Nikor 50mm f2 LTM lens

[FrankS]

I have a line on a Minilux and need to decide what gear to sacrifice. I'm down to the bodies I want to keep, so no fat there. I do have a bunch of 50mm lenses and of the bunch, I think the Nikor would be the first to go, not because it is any worse a performer (it is actually a better performer than some of my other lenses) but because I have the Sonnar formula covered with a J3, J8, and in Contax mount, several original Sonnars. The NIkor does have a close focusing ability to 18 inches or so, but close up isn't the RF's forte anyway. This isn't a for sale ad, I'm just casting a line to see if there is any interest in this lens at $250. It has numerous but very fine and light cleaning marks on front element that wouldn't noticably effect image quality in most lighting conditions.

Frank: I would have bought this lens if I did not already have it. This is one of best 50mm lenses around. In one of my tests of 50mm lenses (maybe 8 of them), people here picked it as the best 50mm lens in that particular flare test.

Thanks, it's good to know I'm in the ballpark. I'd include shipping. 🙂

I'm going to tackle and develop my backlog of exposed film and hope to print a picture taken with this nikor 50mm LTM lens. I got it in a good deal so would sell it for $230.
I also have a nice Rolleicord IV with Xenar lens that I can sacrifice for the cause.
