Nikon F Antique Soft Focus France Achromatic Meniscus 165mm F4 Portraits
Item History & Price
The little green men brought me this lens a couple of days ago and I mounted it onto a Nikon F body cap. Hody Moke! Because of the incredible speed for the type, achromatic meniscus doublet, it's just got glow out the kazoo. The lens itself is about 100 years old and it is imperfect from age. This isn't a collector lens, it's a lens that can make collector photographs for YOU.
I haven't showed you many pictures of the lens itself because there's not much ...to see. It's a little achromat, adapted to a Nikon body cap and that's all it is. You will need a Macro Bellows in order to focus this lens on your camera. It is 6 1/2" focus! The bellows is NOT included in the sale. Just the lens in the body cap. You will have to have a close up / macro bellows in order to use it. 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 the lens. Gorgeous soft focus renderings. It would easily cover medium format and perhaps up to 4X5 if you have a system. Or adapt it to your Micro 4/3 system. Right now it's set up for Nikon F mount.
Don't let this get away.
