R. Rotoloni says they do exist, however the lens pictured with 4oz. does not equal 120 grams, it's lower,120 grams = 4.2oz. Strange? Mike.

By the way, most have been found on Nikon S bodies and the only literature I have seen showing this batch has it mounted on a chrome S. Which is correct based on its serial number. Not black Ss, but common garden variety chrome ones. However, I found mine years ago on a Contax IIa. Collecting can be crazy. RJR

The chrome front ring persisted as a Nikon design far into the SLR era, Nikon never seemed to believe it created a flare issue. I always found it a rather odd design, that they ever used chrome rings.
