Among the rarest of the Nikon rangefinder optics: a fast 8.5cm portrait lens of seven elements in three groups in a modified Gauss arrangement, made only in a black barrel, taking 60mm filters and weighing around 546 g. Nippon Kogaku built roughly 2,000 between 1951 and 1961, of which about 500 went into mounts other than the Nikon S bayonet. This is one of those, in Leica screw thread, and screw-mount examples come up far less often than the bayonet lenses do.
