I was always intrigued by the Oscilloscope-Nikkor. At f/1.2 it is obviously super-fast compared to most of the macro-range Nikkors. Probably this was to allow capture of relatively dim oscilloscope traces, but what were the optical implications/compromises of that fast speed? Enquiring minds want to know..
And congrats on finding a super minty copy!
For a simple mind like mine, the optical implication is that this lens can only be used up close where it can render very interesting images with a lot of differences depending on aperture, at 'normal' distance all you get is junk.

There are two owner links to your Nikkor-O 55/1.2, and they include specs, datasheets and galleries. An interesting fact is the optimal range is 1:5 which resembles the CZ process lenses of that era: my S-Planar 60/2.8 (1:10) and S-Planar 100/4 (1:4).
Rico,
Take this response as friendly with humor, it took a long time to get my lenses together, most are ordinary.
The Oscilloscope Nikkor hardly makes me a member of REDBOOK Nikkor.
But perhaps the Nikon Rayfact 90mm 1:4 industrial lens adapted to a Z mount may.

Yeah, that one looks like a beaut, and seems absent from Red Book. How is a micro lens supposed to be deployed on R mount? Such lenses on Leica would use the Visoflex system to provide bellows or auxiliary helicals for extension, and a reflex housing for focussing: I own those elements.

The R-Nikkor name is for Reproduction-Nikkor, later changed in production to Micro-Nikkor. The lens is Nikon Rangefinder mount, I mount it in the Z cameras using a Nikon rangefinder to Leica thread (amedeo) adapter, then a L to F or Lto Z adapter. Lens performs well to infinity.

Thanks George. I especially liked the first one. Besides it being cleaner(ISO 1600 vs 3200), the birds' presence was intentional. I like having them in the pictures that I take in that direction.
This morning was cloudy, but interestingly cloudy, which I equally like.
