Hi group;

I was sent this completed e-bay auction by a buddy and couldn't believe my eyes! Check this out!

http://cgi.ebay.com/Hood-for-28mm-2-8cm-Nikon-Rangefinder-Lens_W0QQitemZ260208447600QQihZ016QQcategoryZ15234QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

This is the earlier chrome version of this shade.....to fit the earliest chrome version of the lens. They came out with a black version to match the later black 2.8cm/f3.5 W-Nikkor lens.

This chrome version is not identified on the shade itself, except to state "Japan" engraved with small letters on the shiny chrome screw-in ring. . The later black vesion at least identifies the shade (on the black portion) as: "f=2.8cm 1:3.5 Nikon Japan" in white lettering.

Cheers,

Mike

Actually not out of line at all. I know of at least 2 that have sold for $1000 in the past. But it does make me handle the one I have more carefully!

Bob;

Do you remember what has to be the record price paid for a lens shade? It happened about 5-6 years ago on e-bay....a 5cm/1.1 plastic shade, in the leather case, in the original box (but without the 62mm filter that screws into the top lid of the leather case).....sold to a Japanese buyer for $5,001.00 USD. He outbid the other frantic bidder by $1.00 to win it.

Now that's incredible!

Cheers,

Mike

PS- Luckily I have 2 such boxed 2.8 cm shades in those weird blue boxes and one black 2.8 cm shade in the later yellow multi-colored box.

That was a shock as the 'normal' selling price for the plastic version has been about $2500 for some time. Now the metal version has changed hands at $4500, which makes a bit more sense.

Do you remember the shade for the 21 that went for $5000??? Only other confirmed price i have for it is $1500 about 8 years ago. i guess I better keep mine in the vault.

Hi Bob;

I can understand that the metal shade being rarer than the plastic version, if nothing else, for its design and durability over its plastic counterpart. The plastic shade is a bit of a joke in practical use. You rest it down on a table mounted on a 5cm/f1.1 attached and in most cases the shade snaps off, crashing the lens and camera down on the table.....those threads are so finely machined, and not deep!

I'm lucky to have received the 2.1cm shade when I bought my 2.1cm/f4.0 W-Nikkor outfit many years ago. These shades are indeed rare.....probalby 3-4 times scarer than the lens itself.

Cheers,

Mike

WOW....the e-bay description even had it incorrectly described as a "Nikon F Hood with Logo". The shade for the SLR version has an "F"....not a logo.

I'm amazed at the 2000 price......! Today's market....probably $2,500-$3,000. max. Still...not bad!

Current bid: $750.00

of course, there is a user lens on ebay for under $250

The one that sold at $835 was cancelled! The buyer was a fraud

Sold last month at 1/10 the price. Not boxed, but it looks very nice, with case. Mistakenly described as for the 50/1.4.

Hi Scott;

The shade you have pointed out here is a very common chrome 3-piece screw-in shade for a 5 cm/f1.4 Nikkor...not a 2.8 cm.f3.5 shade (or a 2.1 cm/f4.0) as we're discussing here.

Cheers,

Mike

Oh! Thanks, Mike. That information could save me from making an expensive mistake.

Looking more carefully at the auction you mentioned, the shade does look different, in fact it looks like it's one piece.

How do I tell one from the other by looking at a photo? That is, a 2-piece 43mm for a 50/1.4 from a 2-piece 43mm for a 28/3.5? I have a chrome shade that came with my 28mm lens and it looks like the one in the auction that I linked to. Looking over the shades in Robert Rotolini's latest (truly wonderful) book I can't make out one from the other. On page 172 Rotolini says the 28mm chrome shade was a 2 piece affair, and on page 253 he also mentions a 2-piece screw-in for the 50/1.4 in black or chrome. And my 2-piece shade is actually 3-pieces if you count the filter retaining ring. ???

thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott;

No problem.... Yes, you count the outer filter retaining ring as the 3rd. piece of these outfits. This shade outfit is also found in a nice black finish for the 5cm/f1.4 Nikkor, and, I think, the 5cm/f2.0 Nikkor. These black shade outfits (also 3-piece) are quite scarce...and are gorgeous! It is beleived that they were brought out in conjunction with the first black standard Nikkors and/or black S2 bodies combinations.

Wes, any further thoughts on these black shade outfit...with respect to dates, etc.?

Cheers,

Mike
