Just got the Micro-Nikkor 105mm f2.8D

Sold as used, but actually New in Box with all papers, the box is Mint!

From Japan quickly

The 105 has always impressed me, and I hope it will do the same for you.

A "MINT 5+" seller?

[Tin Can]

I don't know what that is

This guy and he has another

A "MINT 5+" seller?

A "MINT 5+" seller?

[chrism]

I don't know what that is

There are a lot of listings of cameras and lenses from Japan that start out with the claim that the item is "MINT 5+" but in the description sometimes they mention the haze, fungus and balsam separation....
I was suggesting that a seller who sent a NIB lens is himself in MINT 5+ condition!

I read feedback, the seller of my lens was 100% OK

Shooting it today handheld

Soon it will be locked down on my Bench

I'm sure it will be, and I wish you much joy of it. Here's another with the 105:

Nice, that's the closest I have been to an orchid

Also a LN Nikkor AM 210mm f/5.6 E, same day, from a different seller in Japan

I have been doing 5X7 to 11X14" macro for a while and coins with Digi

The usual suspects keep telling me my lenses are NOT proper

This is 3-1 mushroom on 11X14 with plasmat 360mm
