Where is it? Interesting for hard core Nikon Nuts who get into Nikon screw mount to go up against the venerable 50/1.5 Nikkor. http://www.pacificrimcamera.com/nhs/50f15/50f15.htm The 1.5 Zeiss may have been the lens HCB used but the 1.5 Nikkor was the lens DDD used. Soon most of the LIFE Staff. The beginning of the downfall of Leica did not come from the Nikon F; It came from the 50/1.5 Nikkor 4 years before. Its been uphill ever since. But I think we've more than caught up. Mark William Rabiner rabinergroup.com
