Did I mention Nikon collectors where crazy?

The Black lens is rare. Dan, BUY THE 'C'ontax lens for the price offered.

I picked up a Collapsible Nikkor 5cm F2 with a Nicca Type 3. The camera shutter is "sticky" and the lens was described as "cloudy", both very accurate descriptions. The lens was not mentioned by name, whole thing went for ~250. In '91 that lens used to go for $1,250 in Shutterbug. Rare, with less than 1500 made. I would never pay that price, but I'm happy with the one that I bought. Front module popped out with a rubber stopper and the cloudiness came out with Kodak lens cleaner. Surface on each side of the aperture was hazed over, but no effect on coating.
