Second-hand Equipment

NEAR NEW. Exceptionally rare. Complete with finder, Front & rear caps, original maker's box. We have NEVER seen such a complete example in our entire history of 30 years. The OP Fisheye-Nikkor 10mm f/5.6 was released in 1968 and was the world's first lens to project an orthographic image onto the film plane. It was also a milestone design inasmuch as it was the first SLR lens in the world to incorporate the fiendishly difficult to produce aspheric element (as used in the most expensive Schmidt telescope designs). The subjects in the centre of the image appear larger than those at the edges, and the entire field is thus evenly illuminated. The OP creates a round image with a diameter of 20mm. This lens is used on the Nikon F or F2 with the mirror-up and with a separate finder mounted on the accessory shoe (finder supplied with lens). Focal length: 10mm, Angle of view: 180°, Aperture scale: f/5.6-f/22, 9 elements in 6 groups, Filters: Built-in, L1A, Y48, Y52, 056, R60 & X0, Fixed focus, 84mm dia. x 105mm length, Weight: 380g, DF-1 fisheye finder.

Exceptionally rare & sought after lens which is complete with finder and caps and a real find as such! Made in tiny quantities. Number 222533. WONDERFUL!

Ever since its introduction as the first fixed focal-length wideangle lens offering "floating elements" for close range correction of image quality, the 24mm Nikkor lens has been one of the most popular in the Nikkon lineup. It offers compact size, wideangle coverage of 84° and the close focusing system, all in a unique retrofocus configuration of 9 elements in 7 groups. Accepts standard Nikon 52mm filters, sold separately. SN 453577

The "C" in the lens description stands for multi coating. A super-wide angle lens (84° picture coverage) with a highest speed of f/2.8, with an automatic diaphragm. 9 elements in 7 groups. Automatic correction of image quality at close distance is an outstanding feature of this lens. Coupled to the focusing ring, the device ensures satisfactory performance over the entire focusing range, from infinity to the closest distance of 0.3m. Accepts standard Nikon 52mm filters, sold separately.

AI'd Example of this lens. Introduced soon after the debut of the Nikon F in 1959, this wideangle lens has long been a favorite among Nikon-armed photographers and photo enthusiasts. Although this lens is the retro-focus type, with a picture angle of 74° and consisting of only 6 elements in 6 groups, it gives vivid contrast and brilliance even at full lens opening, with a minimum of coma and distortion. Accepts standard Nikon 52mm filters, sold separately. Remarkable scalloped Barrel Nikkor-H, Mint Minus. Serial Number 772325 places this at ca. 1972.

RARE - COLLECTOR'S GRADE! COMES COMPLETE WITH DOME SHAPED FRONT CAP, NIPPON KOGAKU REAR CAP AND SPECIAL FINDER!
Together with the 6mm f/2.8 lens, this is the widest of the Fisheye-Nikkor lenses, with an angle of view of 220°. With its 6mm focal length and extremely wide coverage, subjects slightly behind the camera will also be included in the image. There are six filters built in on a rotating turret: L1A (Skylight), Y48 & Y52 (light and medium yellow), R60 (Red), XO (green) and O57 (orange). The aperture range is: f/5.6 to f/22, Elements/groups: 9/6. Diaphragm: Manual. Compact and lightweight - only 430 grams. Separate 160° Fisheye Viewfinder (DF-1) for bright viewing. The lens cannot be used with Nikon cameras that do not have a provision for locking the mirror in the "up" position. This lens was only available by special order. Apparently, the 6mm Fisheye-Nikkor was originally produced as a survey lens for the National Arctic Survey to take pictures of the whole sky and cloud formations unhindered. First production: January 1969. Our research suggests that serial numbers began with 656001(excluding five prototypes) and apparently LESS THAN 100 WERE PRODUCED MAKING THIS ONE OF THE RAREST LENSES MADE BY NIKON!

With finder and caps for finder and lens. One of only 2212 ever manufactured and one of only three which we have ever seen. Number 750631.

RARE - COLLECTOR'S GRADE! This lens covers a 180° picture angle horizontally and vertically. A circular image field, 24mm in diameter, is obtained. This lens is ideal for such scientific requirements as measuring the zenith or azimuth angle of astronomical bodies or for showing the distribution of clouds in meteorology. In addition, the Fish-eye lens can also be used to obtain distorted pictures with unusual graphic impact, especially in advertising photography. The front element has an exceptionally large 69mm diameter. A manually set diaphragm operated by a lever has clicks stops to f/22. No focusing is required because of its extreme depth of filed: from infinity to 20" (50cm) even when aperture is fully open at f/8. There are six built-in filters on a rotating turret: orange (O57), medium yellow (Y48), dark yellow (Y51) skylight (L1A), yellowish green (XO) and red (R60). The lens is used with the mirror in the camera in the locked-up position (Nikon F and F2 models). This lens requires the use of a matching Fish-eye finder ( no 111304) with a field of 160° which fits onto the camera accessory shoe. Because of its large 82mm barrel diameter, the lens cannot be attached to the camera with first revving the Photomic finder. Dimensions 82.0mm (dia) x 42.3mm. Weight: 300g. Supplied with 79mm screw-n front cap (no. 111816), rear lens cap 3F (no. 111833) in bown leather case (no. 111733).

Here’s an interesting bit of photography/movie trivia that surfaced recently. Remember the infamous HAL 9000? HAL 9000 was the AI villain from Stanley Kubrick’s film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Instantly recognizable by his eerily calm voice and red, all-seeing eye (not to mention his penchant for killing crew members when they became troublesome), HAL 9000 is listed as the 13th greatest film villain in AFI’s 100 Years…100 Heroes & Villains. But did you know that HAL 9000’s all-seeing eye was actually a Nikkor 8mm f/8 Fish-Eye lens? The film director Peter Jackson actually owns the one from the film serial no. 88621.
THIS UNUSED EXAMPLE COMES COMPLETE WITH NIPPON KOGAKU PLASTIC COVER, BROWN LEATHER CASE AND ORIGINAL MAKER'S BOX. Exceptional! Our example comes with the serial number 89283.

Opportunity to acquire a most useful part no longer available in Japan. This is the latest variety and will replace a missing or bent rounded (not pyramid) solid version used with those pre-Ai lenses designed to couple with all Photomic heads. Due to bulk purchase of remaining stocks, we are able to offer sets with 2 original screws at a special price for the first time on our website. These will replace missing or bent prongs ("rabbit ears") with new original Nikon parts.
