Hi Vick!
I hadn't realzed the Nikkor 50/1.5 was that rare and expensive.
I've got the Nikkor 50/1.4 in Leica screwmount that sells for way
less.
Cheers,

The lens is spotless in all respects (one tiny bubble in the glass of the inner element but that shouldn't be any problem) it is scaled in feet and focuses from inf-3.5 ft coupled and down to 1.5 ft uncoupled from the RF on my IIIc or M4P.
