Nikon 5cm (50mm) f/3.5 MICRO-NIKKOR

(1956-1964)

5 elements in 4 groups

7-blade diaphragm, click stops to f/22

focus to 3 feet, mount extended

focus to 1.5 feet, mount collapsed

34.5mm or Series VI filters

Few people were silly enough to buy this lens when it was new because it was slow, and no sane person attempted close-up photogrpahy with a rangefinder camera. Since few people bought it, few were sold, making it a collectors' item today.
