Aperture range f/2.5 - 32, focuses down to 4 feet (with an almost 360-degree throw of the focusing helical). Built-in tripod mount. Includes original shade, original velvet-lined brown leather case with strap, original parallax-corrected shoe-mount optical finder (marked "Nippon Kogaku Tokyo") in its own brown leather case, and screw-on metal back cap. Coated optics. 52 mm filter thread. Glass is perfect: no haze, no wipe marks. Absolutely no play or wobble in aperture ring or focusing helical; in fact this lens has been used so little that the action is still a bit stiff. Cosmetic condition of lens and all accessories is mint, except for a tiny mark in the chrome portion of the barrel, and millimeter-sized scuff marks on the edge of the case. This is an unusual item, and also takes spectacular pictures. Hand-held portraits taken with this lens at a range of 5-7 feet are nothing short of gorgeous, and on a tripod it should be a wonderful landscape lens. Note that when mounted on an M body using a screw-to-bayonet converter, the actual lens coverage at infinity is almost exactly as indicated by the 90-mm framelines. Price: $650 including UPS insured ground shipping to lower 48 U.S. states.
