FS: Nikon Lenses (exotics)

[Ash]

Edit: Will consider Leica trades (Need an M8 first and foremost!)


Two lenses for sale: Nikon 28 1.4 and Nikon 18 2.8.

Nikon 28mm 1.4 for sale. Includes box, manuals, warranty and very hard to find correct HK-7 hood (which can sell for over $100 on ebay). Has the typical M/AF ring crack, but I am including a new Nikon ring so you can change it. One small rub on the crinkle coat (shown in photos) and some dust that has no effect on IQ. Glass is clean and clear, aperture blades are perfect. Very hard to find this lens in this condition WITH all paper work and box. This lens is in seriously nice condition, and is a joy to shoot. The lens is sharp, and critically sharp at f2. It's very hard making this thread!

$2500

Crack in ring:

Slight rub (tiny slightly white area - really small!)

Nikon 28 1.4 @f2

100% Crop - no sharpening

Again, another rare lens for sale: 18mm 2.8 AF in superb condition. Pictures speak for themselves. Hard to find with box, paper, and hard case. Glass is clean and clear, two tiny dust specks with no affect on IQ.

Price: $680 + shipping.

If I hadn't just bought the 14-24 I'd probably be all over this. Seeing what the 28 1.4 is going for on the used market,... this is a really good deal for one wicked, wicked lens. Good luck!

I'm definitely having second thoughts... I can't afford to keep these lenses and buy Leica + Lenses. Leica lenses are ridiculously expensive.

I think you mean have I been using them with a filter. The anwer is yes, filters always on. However, I'm not the original owner so I can't speak for them. The front and rear elements are perfect though.
