			<description><![CDATA[ It appears that lens parts are not always used in the same order they were made, for example I often find overlaps between minor variations. I guess parts
including the serial number ring are made in batches and used at random during assembly. Your lens may have been the last 6mm fisheye made, but it may not have
the highest serial number. ]]></description>

SN correspondes with the production time mine was not last number. There is more late number 629435 unless the SN and production time corresponds each other. ]]></description>

By any chance do you have a link to the one sold at Christies? I tried their website but unlike Westlicht I could not find out old auctions.

			<description><![CDATA[ Another bit of trivia on the 6mm f/2.8 Fisheye-Nikkor. So the tale goes that the British military ordered several 6mm and 2000mm (Reflex-Nikkors) around
1990-1991 for their use during the Gulf War. When the war ended so soon the Brits cancelled the contract, but Nikon was left with several of these
lenses,--which they quickly sold off for something less than production costs (where was I then!)

Someone on this board mentioned that a 6mm 2/8 sold recently on Christie&#39;s for around... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Murten,<br>
<br>
Do you actually use the lens? Would be cool to see some photos, both of the lens itself, and photos taken with it.<br>
<br>
I'm a big fisheye fan myself, although I prefer the full frame 10.5mm (digital) and 16mm (film) versions. Used correctly, these lenses can produce some spectacular images.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

			<description><![CDATA[ I bought 6mm/2.8 around 7, 8years ago. When I asked NIKON to order the 6mm/2.8, NIKON asked  me some condition I should accept. NIKON said that NIKON has almost no assembly parts such as cast body, a part of front lense units etc at that moment. If I could accept the condition of no future repair request NIKON accept my order and  make  final one. I accepted it and 6mm came a month later. Mine SN is L6294xx. If NIKONs statement is true mine is the nearest or last production run. I still keep it. ]]></description>
