Indeed doc, 35/1.5 is not rare and no way near 48 pieces. Its easily more than 48 hundred pieces made.

The 35/1.4 is a prototype that did not make it to mass production, is that right? I vaguely recall Benny asking about this...

That's the hood in this photo by gommy, right? I found several of those while searching for a clip on hood for my black Nikkor-P 8.5cm f2 lens, but could not find the correct black clip-on hood for the Nikkor anywhere. Ended up persuading a camera shop in the Ginza to sell me the one from the Nikkor-P 8.5cm f2 black they had displayed in the window :sweat:

 

[pikapig]

I cant find any images taken from this lens. Its really rare and definitely going to fetch a high price among the collectors...

I actually got it for our Canon Guru, Benny a while ago. It's with him now.
Yes it's a prototype, the focal length is not even inscribed on the ring in the front.

This is common. I see them all the time, even when I was based in Singapore. There are 2 variations of the hood in terms of the markings, excluding the differences in the font type of the early production and late production batches.

Cheers,

Jon,

Different hood. This is the W-50 or W-50-2. It's not as thick as the one for the 50mm lens.

Cheers,
