Interesting!
The soft focus 105/2.8 shown at the exhibit has serial number 281053, which is one higher than one offered on Yahoo Auctions recently, see http://www.photosynthesis.co.nz/nikon/F105mm/105_28_Soft.html. Maybe Nikon produced lenses with different aspherical lenses to evaluate the effects?

Beware of the Yahoo Auctions which is a playground of more than one Nikon fraud groups.

Collecting product images should be the best way to utilize the site.   :)
