The Tochigi Nikon Rayfact 90mm 1:4 micro lens came, advertised as like new and so it is. I does have a focusing helicoid of sorts, very sturdy and heavy. Focuses from 6 feet down to 0.5X. VERY heavy, should maintain alignment forever. I does have an F mount but on a DSLR it may hit the ai tab, on the Z7 with adapter no problem.
Lens has no brand or lens info engraving, it is an industrial product with a plastic label, metal so thick you could drive a car over it with only cosmetic damage.
I di get it for a reasonable price, cannot be returned but I will have to decide if it a keeper. Its main feature is the 82mm image circle, which may be attractive to George and others with larger format, for me 43mm image circle is enough,
