I just picked up one of these on ebay. From the photos it is clearly an old single coated Fujinon, in Seiko shutter with lettering on the inside of the lens, not around the rim. I am familiar with the 135mm, 180, 210 and 250 (6.7) and their very generous 80 degree coverage, but have never seen or heard of a 125mm version. In fact I cannot see it listed anywhere and have never seen mention of one. I am familiar with the 125 NW and CM-W, however and this lens absolutely is not one of these. There is no doubt it is one of the older, original W range.
Has anyone ever seen one before? Can anyone tell me anything about it?
The price was right in case it turns out not to have super coverage, but I am guessing something around a 200mm+ IC if it is like the other single coated inside lettered W series.
I am no lens expert but have been looking at old Fujis for some time (read all of Kerry's writings on them and many more) and this one really threw me!
