[QUOTE="STM, post: 115221, member: 12827"] I have been looking at 15mm f/3.5 Nikkors on Fleabay for quite a while but I doubt I will be able to provide a substantively sufficient argument to convince the household purchasing agent to turn loose a purchase order for $1200 for one in the kind of shape I want. Those lenses are very unique in that although they take in a huge angle of view, their distortion is minimal. The only downside to that lens, and it is entirely expected given the number of elements, is it can be prone to ghosts if you have a bright light source in the frame. Is yours multicoated or just single coated? I have heard both sides of the argument that either they were or they weren't. In most photos I have seen of them they do not appear to be multicoated. If ever there was a lens which needed it, it was that one! I would LOVE to get my hands on the 13mm f/5.6 Nikkor but Nikon only made like 350 of them and they are like hen's teeth to find and are VERY expensive! [/QUOTE]
