Title: COM Nikkor 37mm/1.4
Post by: simato73 on March 26, 2017, 11:15:58
Does anybody know anything about this lens?
There is some description in the ad but it would be interesting to know more.

Not that I am remotely interested in owning it, considered the price tag...

He should donate some of this lenses to Bjørn, with freedom to chip them  ;D
Then we would see something interesting coming from these sad, unused lenses.
