In fact, that lens is fairly recent, it is a Voigtländer Nokton 58mm f/1.4, made in Japan by Cosina, splendid build and optical quality, and designed to look exactly like the old “bunny–eared” Nikkors —with Nikon’s full approval, no doubt. Manual focus lens of course, a pleasure to use, especially on mirrorless cameras where the assistance of focus peaking makes focusing a breeze.Contrary to the lens, the hood is very old: it is the clip–on, full metal HS–6 lens hood designed by Nikon to go on 50mm lenses. At the time, most Nikon lenses were 52mm in filter size, and this Voigtländer honored the same tradition. Therefore, the old lens hood which I bought in the 1970s (and which, as you can see, is in perfect condition and working order) fit on the Nokton as if it had been made for it.The Eddycam elk hide shoulder straps were the best ones I had ever used with my DSLRs. I had tried many of assorted types, traditional ones and “technical” new ones with lots of features, and eventually found that these Eddycams were the absolute best for comfort and ease of use (and they would never make you sweat underneath, no matter how scorching hot it was). I had two, a wide one for DSLRs, and this thinner one for the Fuji X–Pro mirrorless cameras I had for some time.I only stopped using the Eddycams for the unbeatable convenience of the Peak Design system of bags, pouches, attachments plates and shoulder/wrist straps, and even though the Peak Design system is most excellent, I do from time to time regret my Eddycams... Well, they're still in the closet, and will maybe come out of it some day, looking and feeling good as new...[ATTACH=full]417314[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
