Replacing a 21mm lens

[ferider]

I hope you have deeeeep pockets, there are only a couple of hundred of the Nikkor 21mm around and collectors hold most of them. There simply isn't enough out there for the whole collector society let alone users.
They sell in the $6000-$10,000 range!!!

The F version is much more common.

Regarding the first F version, Kiu, like this one for instance: 170114941925. Is it optically identical to the RF version and can a normal adapter be used (for example the Novoflex one http://www.amazon.com/Novoflex-Adapter-Mount-Nikon-Lenses/dp/B0002SSFIY) ?

Thanks,

Roland.

Just an fyi, if water went in, it is not sealed. Therefore the right vacuum system can get all the water out pretty easily without cracking the thing open. This not advice, just info.

I am not sure if it'll be too deep for the leica body.As Fred said, on the Nikon F one has to lock the mirror up. The optics are the same between the RF and the F version.
The lens does stuff refracting light like no other...

There was something on the BBC news last week about a guy on a French TGV who dropped his mobile phone in the toilet.

He tried to retrieve it, but flushed at the same time and had his arm sucked into the vacuum pump bit.

It took the rescuers (when the train stopped) two hours to remove the toilet and take him to hospital with his arm still stuck inside it.

I wonder if he bought a new mobile phone?
