Second-hand Equipment

Boxed with included papers. Of the interchangeable lenses Nikon made for the Nikonos RS, the R-UW AF Micro-Nikkor 50mm f/2.8 was specially designed for close-ups underwater and allows you to keep moving closer to the subject triggering the shutter without any readjusting or measuring distance needed. This workhorse lens can focus down to 17cm which offers an image ratio of 1:1. Additionally, it is the only lens that can be used on land with the Nikonos RS to produce in-focus images. Perfect for classic close-up fish portraits, macro photography and general photography.

As is the case for the entire Nikonos range, this lens is considered to be a masterpiece of optical engineering.

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.

Boxed and complete. The fastest 100-105mm class lens of its time and constructed with the fewest lens elements. This lens never disappoints, offering similarly both in top class optical performance and supreme built quality.

Magnification double that of a normal lens produces photographs which draw the viewer's eye to the subject. The combination of shallow depth of field and natural perspective ensures extraordinary life-like portraits. Other uses include candids, travel photography, sports, available-light photography and weddings.

Released in 1981, the 105mm f/1.8 Nikkor AIS (also known as AI Nikkor 105mm f/1.8S) sold for roughly twelve years. That is quite a long time for a particular product.

The lens was introduced genetically as an Ai-S native lens despite it being introduced much earlier than some of the corresponding Nikon SLR models which requires Ai-S features for their AE exposure control. For quite a long spell of time, the lens speed of f/1.8 remained the fastest Nikkor telephoto lenses between the 90mm to 105mm focal range. Other than enabling good available light photography, the extra gain of one stop lens speed also provides greater depth of field control.

Exceptional condition pre-ai prime lens number 482982

With an f/1.4 aperture, this lens has enjoyed world-wide renowned as the "standard" standard lens in 35mm photography. Without flash, the lens demonstrates its worth under extremely poor light conditions as well as in available light situations. The f/1.4 aperture provides an all-around bright image in the viewfinder. Focusing is easy and accurate as the lens has shallow depth of field, and the displacement of focus resulting from stopping down of the diaphragm is virtually eliminated. This compact, well designed lens is an outstanding general-purpose lens.

Lens construction: 7 elements in 5 groups, picture angle: 46°, Distance scale graduated in both metres and feet up to 0.6 m and 2feet, Aperture scale: f/1.4 the f/16, Filer size: 52mm, Weight: 325g (11.5oz. Accessories available but not included: Lens Hood: HN-5 screw-in or HS-1 snap-on, Flexible lens pouch No.51 or CL-34 hard lens case.

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.

A very rare opportunity to acquire an unused Nikon FN Apollo camera body, chrome finish, mirror-up version and a 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor SC pre-AI lens scalloped focus barrel complete with instruction manual and maker's boxes.

The later 1978 AI version of the first wide-angle zoom by Nikon and in fact the first wide angle zoom ever that started at a focal length of 28mm. In it’s time the 28-45 was a real sensation and a technological breakthrough. It was aimed at the professional market and was produced between 1975 and 1978 with a total production of about 20.000 lenses.

This lens is sharp enough even wide open on low-res sensors. Overall image quality is good and performs well on the long or wide end. CA is a non-issue.

You may find it best to stop down to f/8; however, image quality is still good stopped down below f/5,6 compared to modern kit zooms.
