that lens can sing Rod Stewart's song
i really like this. cosina and nikon have a long history of collaboration, this is probably made from goodwill.

i love this tribute to old Nikkors. this design to me is perfect and the peak of Japanese lens exterior design bauhaus is everywhere

Richard, this looks really nice.  An October 2016 release.

The lens hood attachment mechanism looks interesting with an external thread or ridges on the front filter attachment collar for the hood to attach onto.  I cannot read Japanese, but this looks to me to be unique  -  am I right?  I also see that there is a choice of silver or black for the front filter attachment collar - nice.

This lens in the all-black livery would look gorgeous on a black Df.

Hopefully, the optics are up to par as well.

[stenrasmussen]

It is made for the Df - period!
I suspect the optics are the same as found 3 generations back though, and that's a bit of a bummer. The horrendous coma and more than average high contrast edge blooming should be looked at and fixed.
