Re: Nikon 13mm f/5.6 AI-S "Holy Grail". Did I get a good deal?
Part 1 of Photos
I declare this lens the Holy Grail of Nikon Refurbished lenses.
It appears as new condition as per Nikon refurbished guidelines. Case leather feels new. Filter pouch felt like it had never before been opened. The serial number puts it right in the middle of the AI-S run, so I'd guess early 1980s as the manufacture date. Tomorrow I'm going to call B&H used department and ask for the story on this lens (now that I have it in my hands). I'm also going to try and get in touch with Nikon and find out what surely is an amazing story behind how this came to be. If anyone has a contact at Nikon who they think can help me out, please PM me.
