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.

• Aperture range: f/ 2.8 –f/ 22
• Picture angle: 35°

• Close focusing range: Infinity to 0.167m (0.55 ft.); (Max reproduction ratio 1:1)
• Attachment size: 88 mm

Weight: 1,100 g (38.8 oz)

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!

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.

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.

Focal length/Aperture: 105mm f/1.8
Lens construction: 5 elements in 5 groups; Picture angle: 23° 20'; Diaphragm: Automatic
Aperture scale: f/1.8 - f/22 on both standard and aperture-direct-readout scales
Maximum Reproduction ratio: 1:7.6
Exposure measurement: Via full aperture method with Ai cameras; via stop-down method with non-Ai Nikon SLR cameras

Distance scale: Graduated in meters and feet from from 1m (3.5 ft.) to infinity (oo)
Dimensions: 78.5mm dia. x 88.5mm long (overall); 80.5mm extension from lens flange
Filters: 62mm front screw-in; Lens hood: Built-in telescopic type

Optional accessories: Lens case- CL-15S hard leatherette, No.62 soft pouch or CP-9 plastic

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.

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.
