W-Nikkor C 3.5cm f/1.8 Photos!

[Rollin]

Both LTM M11 / f/11 DNG/LR at a car show last month.

This is the only low-contrast vintage lens I own and finding when burning and dodging in Lightroom there is wonderful combo of tonality and detail to work with in the files. Is this unique to this lens and there something special about Nikkor detail resolution and low contrast, or all low contrast lens are like this, or just buyer's bias on my part?

Were they priced at $1700?

What has ten years done?
The LTM version has tripled.
Lucky for us, the S mount is very reasonable.
