As you are the lucky owner of a new 350mm lens, I would like to know if it was provided with a case (leather or wooden?)... I have a Nikon price list from July 1959. There was no case listed for the telephoto lenses from 180mm. It seems they were only provided with caps & lenshood.

Moreover, how does the manual look like? Was it provided with the regular interchangeable lens instruction sheet?

Thanks for your informations. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (NikonRF) http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/sreply/5675 Thu, 01 Nov 2007 07:08:06 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: 350 Cable release -- have one? ]]> http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/reply/526/t/350-Cable-release-have-one-.html#reply-526
Note also it uses a different serial number range, starting with 101, and is not apparently the first one, the implication is that there are two ranges, or that it is a pre-production mock up, for photographs. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Nikon HS Webmaster) http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/sreply/526 Sun, 06 May 2007 07:33:32 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: 350 Cable release -- have one? ]]> http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/reply/525/t/350-Cable-release-have-one-.html#reply-525

In addition to the lenses mentioned by Fred, the 180mm f/2.8 (at least my AF version, haven't checked the MF ones) has a diaphragm behind the lens elements. There may be other ones as well.

They did not sell-out, and were of the easiest lenses in short mount to find in unused condition, in NYC shops.

I have noticed that many a collectible Nikon have this story behind them,if they didn't sell back then,they are great collectibles today!
Examples:
Minifinder
SP illuminator
Stereo Nikkor
S3M!!
105/4

Shall I go on?

Kiu:
No wooden case was made for the 350, that I know of. But these lenses all came in a cardboard "case" (at least in the '60s) the wood case was an option.

The 500 diaphragm is also behind, see diagram below. Other lenses for the F were designed that way also (400, 600, 800, 1200).

Fred,do you still have the lens? I am assuming since they came in the cardboard box you displayed,there was no longer a wooden box offered for this lens?

One other question, is this the only Nikkor lens with the Diaphram Outside the optics? one can actually reach inside the lens and touch it!!

Since we have a lot of knowledgeable new blood, I am wondering if anyone has collected the cable release specifically made for the 350 short mount.

This lens was semi auto design, meaning that it was focussed wide open, then the user would tap a button and it would close down for shooting. Nikon showed it with a cable release that would... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Nikon HS Webmaster) http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/topic/437 Fri, 04 May 2007 08:47:37 GMT
