3 hours to go. Maybe a rangefinder lens? Maybe Leica mount?

"There is no focus on the lens."

It's a Nikkor-O, meaning 8 elements, not a Q, meaning four elements.

Not clear what it's purpose is. I don't think it was intended for a rangefinder or SLR camera. Someone who likes to tinker might enjoy messing around with it. I think there was a 55/1.2 for the SLR cameras of the early 1960s. The lens is probably from that vintage.

"There is no focus" ==> is this lens meant to be used with bellows or would it these days be useful with an AF SLR camera?

It's very likely the oscilloscope lens that Nikon produced in the 1960s.

No, could not be used with AF body as the lens still needs to focus.

Smacks his head hard! Why didn't I see that? Thanks, Frank.

Unless the guy was a reseller or an X-ray technician, he's going to be pretty disappointed if he mounts it on an LTM camera.

Judging by what he has bought recently...I doubt he's ever gonna use it. Most probably a collector.

I have a 362mm F 1.66 lens ... now that is a fast lens for a LF camera!
