Micro-Nikkor 5cm 1:3.5 is a tremendous lens as I expected. I believe this tiny, beautiful lens beat the other commercial 135 format lenses when it first released in 1956.
Here are some shots from last week.

How does a Micro- Nikkor work on a rangefinder? Close focus on a rangefinder with the likes of a NOOKY or DR Summicron is only 18 inches, which isn't very macro. Adding a mirror box and you leap to 1:1 with a 50mm lens. No continuous focussing to half life size, as you get with an SLR. Explanation, please.

Is this the rare 5cm RF lens or is it the 55mm SLR lens?

Per title and caption, it's the RF variant.

Using an Amedeo adapter allows you to focus closer than the RF coupling will allow, in which case you can use Liveview or a detachable EVF.

Very impressive shots. I believe this is quite an expensive lens if I'm not mistaken.
How does one deal with parallax on the RF bodies, or do they compensate for it?

They tend to sell in the $1200-2000 range. Very high resolving lenses.
Compensating for parallax is the norm for sure.

Nikon made these RF Micro-Nikkors in Nikon RF mount and in LTM. The LTM version is very rare, and sells for more than $2000.

Copy stand. The lens is attached to the copy stand in the recessed position (an extra accessory is then attached to control the aperture comfortably). The camera sits on top with a swing mechanism. You can preview the image on ground glass, then move the camera into position to make the exposure. Zeiss had produced a similar product for the Contax cameras.

Hi,
a while ago, I found a mint 5cm f3.5 Micro-Nikkor lens head for sale missing the mounting parts so had it adapted to Leica M with RF coupling .
Here are some shots taken with this lens and a Leica M10:

Excellent! These are nice looking (sharp) images.
I wish I had such a lens myself.

No close-focusing mechanism, but you could look for the Voigtlander 50mm f/3.5. An S-mount version is in the classifieds now actually. I like mine a lot. Very, very sharp.
