Hi,
do you know where I can find pictures taken with this lens?
Could not find much in the internet.
Thanks.

I'm not surprised. This is a very old lens, rare in its time as well, and one has to use it either on a Nikon rangefinder camera (with film) or on a mirrorless body (with adapter).

FWIW, the f/2 8.5cm Nikkor (RF) is a surprisingly fine performer provided it's not pointed towards the sun.

Thanks Birna, I own the 8.5cm f2 and I like it a lot, that is why I think that the 1.5 must be spectacular.

i actually liked it, to think that it was made in the 1950 :o :o :o

my biggest problem is the condition of the specimens...as you know, this is a Sonnar ::)

Not my cup of tea, but YMMV

Toby, is this your website? If yes, can you please tell me whether these pictures https://flashbackcamera.jp/photogallery/products/017640_nikon_nikkor_35mm_f1-8_m/ were taken with the W-nikkor 35mm f1.8 for Nikon rangefinder cameras?

Thanks

Some examples with the 3.5cm f/1.8 Nikkor-W. Which still is a fine performer.

This is not my site. It is a Japanese guy who is a dealer. Here is the home page of his site in "English" (at least parts of it). You can probably write to him, and if he speaks any English he might reply.
