I have an old, my very first lens for my first SLR, 45 GN Nikkor. Which this Cosina Voigtl?nder built for Nikon with the Nikon label on it is a modern version of. It focuses closer. Has the f stops going in the right direction. But not down to f 32. My favorite f stop. I shot loads of evens with a flash at that f stop which is what you get when you'd be focused at 3 feet. As you'd focus further the f stops would open up with a mechanical linkage. Hence going in the wrong direction. A "Blitz" lens the Germans would call it. A Cheese or Blueberry Blitz lens.
