price of micro nikkor 55 f2.8 ais
« on: July 25, 2012, 02:09:56 PM »
Dear friends,

I have been offered this lens for Rs.7000. I have been reported that the lens is in 9/10 cosmetically and 10/10 functionally. The price is non negotiable. So if i find the lens as described upon inspection perhaps i will pick it up.My question is whether the price seems okay. Your valuable advice will be appreciated.

regards

somnath

PS : Please keep the "my need" part of the discussion out of agenda , because as i am having a serious itch about this piece no logical input will reach my ears  ;D

if you find this lens as described optically and mechanically, it is a fair price for a "preloved" piece.  with its internal helical focus mechanism, this lens can give a 1:2 (0.5x). if you pair it with a pk-13 auto ex-ring, it will give you 1:1 (1x) -- and btw 1:1 may also be achieved with a 2x tc like the ai-tc-200 or ai-s tc-201. even higher mag of 1:3.5 is possible by mating it with a pb-6 bellow unit.  so if you are not picking it up, do let me give it an appreciative home.

just grab it at 7K.
I have this lens and you can see the results I posted and trust me I wont sell it even for 10K :)
And I am no good photographer.

If it's good mechanically/optically, get it. I have this lens and can't love it enough :).

It is a very good lens and also quite small sized price looks right.

I still miss a peace which  Shobin George sold.

Actually it was not in WTS thread but offered it to someone on a WTB thread though he offered me another similar Nikkor G but I was interested in this particular one as I am Canon user.
