Nikon F – this one is from late 1964

Nikon F
Nikkor-H Auto 2.8cm f3.5 pre-Ai
Nippon Kogaku Tokyo 1964 (late) body and Nippon Kogaku K.K. lens from around 1961 or 1962. The body was modified to accept the Photomic-T finder.
Classic Nikon at its best. I enjoy using this focal length over 24mm or 35mm, and with modern fast films, the f3.5 aperture is not an issue. On my Fujifilm X-T2 (APS-C Sensor), the lens has an effective focal length of 42mm.

A nearly perfect combination.
The lens is from around late 1961 or 1962. The first lens in this style and focal length was serial number 301xxx, released in early 1960.
A classic, straightforward design.
Nikkor-H Auto.
2.8 cm lens, f3.5 wide-angle lens.
Mostly Nippon Kogaku caps. The Nikkor front cap is 52mm and is a bit newer style for this lens.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris
