It took me a year to track down one of these early and rare 3.5cm Nikkors...

Simom,
...not sure how I missed your post but glad to see it now. Your 35 & "F" look very clean & well maintained, a kit to surely be proud of.

Hi Mike,

Glad that you saw the post and thanks for your comment. This is a very sweet "low mileage" Nikon F and subsequently its really nice to shoot, with everything feeling tight still.

The lens took a while to find, its a very early 1959/60 9 bladed 7 element type which is quite rare. I have a 5cm f2 from '59/60 also with 9 blades. Nippon Kogaku made the 10.5cm f2.5 and 13.5cm f3.5 with the same iris configuration also, right at the start of production. They are hard to find but I think I've just located a 10.5cm to add to the "early" lens collection. I'll post a pic if/when it turns up!

Kind Regards,

Simon

Hi folks, I would like to upload some pics to RFF but I cannot find the BB code from Flickr since they updated their page. Any clue ?

My first "real" camera was a Nikon, but at the time I was a starving student, and finding extra cash to buy film was a little difficult. I lusted for more lenses and accessories, but managed to do well enough with the gear I had.

Now that the prices for film gear have come down, I have been able to buy many of the things I couldn't afford when I was younger. And being in Japan I have been able to find some of the more difficult to come by gear. I recently picked up a 5.8/1.4 lens, and it is one of the best lenses I have ever used.

There are a few more things I would like to add to my collection, so I often get out to the used camera shopsnto see what I can find.

Here are a few of my cameras. None are minty or beautiful, but I enjoy and use all of them.

You would be crazy NOT to buy that beautiful rangefinder stuff.

It's that icon next to the star (favorite), the balloon (comments), then the third one is the share icon.
