The Nikon W-NIKKOR· C 3.5cm f/2.5 (35mm f/2.5) was a popular wide-angle lens for Nikon's 1950s rangefinder cameras.This old lens' performance can exceed modern SLR lenses. This is because rangefinder lenses are designed without the compromise of having to avoid the flipping SLR mirror. Rangefinder lenses can get much closer to the film if the designer wants them to.This 3.5cm lens is one of the good ones that was over-designed for its era, so it still performs wonderfully today.It's a tiny lens: the size of a slightly flattened golf ball weighing under 4 oz. (111g)!These lenses mount only on Nikon's old rangefinder cameras. Nikon's best rangefinder camera is the SP (1957-1964), and this lens works on all of the rangefinder cameras made from 1948-1964, like the M, S, S2, S3 and etc.Includes front and rear lens caps - the front cap is also a Tiffen Series #6 adapter. A rare find! Buyer pays actual insured shipping.
