For anyone interested in how the old Nikon rangefinder lenses size up against the modern Z lenses, below is quick shot comparing sizes. *disclaimer, physical size not optical quality
I left the rear Z mount lens caps on so everything would be equal. The rangefinder lenses are with their Z adapters attached (in a ready to mount and shoot mode)
Heck, they are not too much bigger than the FTZ adapter for F mount lenses.
Left to right - Z mount 40mm/2, S mount 3.5cm/1.8, Z mount 28mm/2.8, S mount 2.8cm/3.5
Shot with Micro-Nikkor 55/3.5
George, hope I was not bidding against you. Not sure how I found this on the Bay, sometimes I think the good lord wants me to take care of these lenses for a while.
These are e-bay photos, lens is purchased and paid for, expensive tiny bugger but rare as rare gets, On its way home, hope is as good as it seems, seller takes returns.
This is an R-Nikkor 5cm 1:3.5, R= Reproduction. This 523002 lens is a prototype Nikkor, not a production lens, this is the second prototype. The first being 523001. The production lens was labeled differently as the Micro-Nikkor 5cm 1:3.5 for rangefinders, and whose serials Strat at 52304X, later modified to Micro-Nikkor 55mm 3.5 for the F mount.
