It was the first lens I got with my first interchangeable lens camera a Nikon F2 around 1972. It was/is the 45mm 2.8 GN Nikkor which stops down to F32 but only focuses as close a 3 feet. There was an article in the Nikon magazine that season about it when I was getting the camera so it got my interest...half the weight of any other Nikon lens. A lenscap that takes pictures. Great with powerful or manual flashes! I still have it. No depth of field scales; bummer. I'm a lover of pancake lenses everywhere, German pancakes... you name it. Blitz lenses!!!!
