Nice F-prism…...do you shoot film?

This is a pretty nice camera, but not in as good a shape as collectable items generally are.
I used to shoot film more then I do today. But still, I occasionally put a roll of film in each of my film cameras and expose those.

Most of the time I forget to develop those rolls. Photography, at least the spontanious type, is more about observing and seeing for me, then it is about the resulting photographs.

With this bellows setup it's different though. That is all about peeking at things my bare eyes can not, or hardly see.

That Nikon F is a Red Dot version, another collectible. Not really rare, about 10000 samples are present in the range 659xxxx-660xxxx
Non-Red dot samples in that serial # range are rarer.

Serial # 6598051 is present in Matthew Lin's Red Dot List.

I have 4 Red Dots, one with original box.

How does the NIKKOR-Q Auto 1:3.5 f=135mm perform on a bellows? It seems to have a similar lens construction to the bellows 135mm.

The 135mm f/4 Bellows Nikkor is a flat field design so depending on the subject take that into consideration.

Oh yes, I forgot about that. Then the much easier to find than the 135/4 Bellows Nikkor (and cheaper) El-Nikkor 135/5.6 might be an option? It was discussed earlier in this thread, but I didn't see any final verdict on that.

It's a slow and dark lens and I'm not sure it's to your liking,,,
