I don't think so, if you have the $ you can buy.GmbH. said:The Noct is rare. May not be easy to source.
Actually not true, if you go Ebay. At least a new one on the market once a week. Just that the money is not easy to source.GmbH. said:The Noct is rare. May not be easy to source.

People are just crazy. :dunno:
regit said:Noct is available commercially and it is not rare by any standard. However, the production level of this lens is not very high IIRC... in any case, the lens has a unique signature that no other lens can produce and given the initial price, factoring in inflation over the years, I think the current market price is just about right.
If you want rare pieces, go to Akiyama's Website![]()
Correction: Nikon has already stopped production more than 7 years ago, till 1998, producing about 10.5k of various production version (3 it seems) units according to this page based on serial numbers. What is in the market now are those being bought and (re)sold.regit said:Noct is available commercially and it is not rare by any standard.

The initial price was very high then as the front lens element is hand-polished aspherical element. Each Noct is thus hand-crafted and unique. Why? Read this (Warning: I'm not responsible for reactions after reading the article :sweat: )
On Ebay, the prices normally ranged from US$1200-$2400 (ie roughly between S$2-4k)
