ps. The 85mm/1.4 AiS covers the GFX sensor very well. No crop or vignette correction applied.
Sometimes it just falls in your lap. That's a beauty.
Yup. It’s rare. Less than 2k made for both K and AI with ED.
I use it lately because with these new sensors, 5.6 is fast enough

You should have bought that 24/2! You could compete with Rafael.
No, Leighton never. I could never compete with Rafael. At my height I think I had more than him, but nowhere near that quality, nowhere near. I've already bought 2 lenses this week (35mm f2 and 55mm f3.5), I just couldn't bring myself to buy a third. I'm currently on the lookout for an 8.5cm f2. As Colin pointed out, I live in a tiny flat, apart from the money, I haven't got the space. (Still, the 24mm was a bargain because it had some cosmetic blemishes which don't bother me and it was coming from Germany there would be no duty).

It's the Nikkor O. lI got it from a seller here in Italy so very little shipping and no duty. It's not in the greatest condition but he said it's just been CLA'd . Here's hoping.

I love taking one lens at the time and working with it to make images I like. I will be posting more pictures of lenses.
Decided to make and post a list of my lenses, this was off memory, will keep adding detail and serial numbers.

Folks - what Rafael failed to mention when posting his roof repair images is that he is also reinforcing the house foundations to cater for his lens collection. Actually that lot should be stored in a strong room.

I knew it was going to be an incredible list, especially given your standards!
I immediately put your list into a sheet next to mine to see what ones I didn't have, obviously quite a number but I haven't had time to have my full fun yet in reviewing it all, I will be looking up gaps.
I have some I would probably sell based on my approach, which was more to get the better performers rather than every lens. I would buy a 1.4 to 3.5 over a 4- 5.6 figuring that at the higher setting on the faster version there would be little difference. I know that's not always true though.
Anyways, thanks for sharing your fabulous collection, it certainly has inspired me to look back over mine! Here is the updated List, not in same league as Rafael's!

Scenario at 800m of distance, atmosphere relatively clean.
Left: Nikkor 300mm f/4.5K ai'd ED non-IF; right: Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 ais EDIF.
Top to bottom: centre, left border and righ border crops.
All shots with a D610 + tripod, Live view focusing, mirror lockup and remote shutter. ISO 200.
Images straight out of the camera - printscreen images!
1st: Nikkor 300mm f/4.5K (factory ai'd) ED (non-IF);
2nd: Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 ais EDIF
Each comparative shot was:
Left: set at infinity focus
Middle: set at MFD (4m & 2.5m)
Bottom: set at MFD and with hood extended.
All shots with D610 + Nikkor 85mm f/1.8K factory ai'd + tripod + built in flash + diffuser; ISO 200, wide open (f/1.8) at 1/60s.
I do not have the 300/4.5 non IF K, ai or ais, but suppose it is less sharp than the ED(non-IF) version.
