Antique Soft Focus France Achromatic Meniscus 100mm F3. 2 Nikon Mount Portraits
Item History & Price
Here is a fine little antique 100mm f3.2 Achromatic Meniscus doublet mounted in a Nikon F mount body cap.
I haven't showed you many pictures of the lens itself because there's not much to see. It's a little achromatic doublet, adapted to a Nikon body cap and that's all it is. The bellows is NOT included in the sale, and neither is the Nikon. Just the lens in the body cap. You will have to have a close up / macro bellows in order to use it. It's 4" f...ocus. I could probably sell these in minutes if it wasn't for the bellows thing.
Most of the pics are to show you what you can expect to get with this lens. Gorgeous soft focus renderings. It would easily cover medium format and perhaps up to 3X4 if you have a system. Or adapt it to your 4/3 system. Right now it's set up for Nikon F. It's faster than most of these that I'm able to get my hands on. F3.2 is unusually fast for one of these doublets. The result is shallower depth of field and more juju. Lots of juju.
Glass is imperfect, because it's an antique. This isn't a 'collector' lens, it's a lens to help you make collector photographs! Don't let this get away.
