NIKKOR-O 55mm F1.2

Leica M8 + NIKKOR-O 55mm F1.2

 

This so-called CRT lens was used for taking pictures of oscillograph screens.

The lens had 39mm Leica screaw mount. But, it couldn't take any photographs in infinity.

 

I remodeled this lens mount , and now, it works with the Leica M8. Of course it works with the range finder!

The lens was modified by a Japanese specialist Mr. Miyazaki. It got a helicoid, and a Leica M mount. Then, It can focus to 0.6m from infinity. But, There aren't any focus indication on the barrel.

Aperture Blades : 13

Nearest Distance : 0.5m - 0.6m (It works with the range finder!!!)
