18mm f/3.5 AIS Nikkor. It is in near mint condition, just minus a tiny little amount paint on the rim of the hood, and only $500 plus $30 shipping. I debated for a good while between this one and the 15mm f/3.5 AIS Nikkor and honestly I think I will get more use out of this one, plus it is less than half the price and will fit easily in my gear bag. The 15mm has a very large diameter front element and it would take up a lot of room in my bag. This one has a 72mm filter thread, which takes up no more room than my 180mm f/2.8 or my 85mm f/1.4

Congrats! I guess getting that gold Hasselblad is on the back burner for now! ;)

Yup, I will just have to settle for my black one for the time being. I got the finder for it for $25 on Fleabay. It was in ROUGH shape cosmetically but the optics were still fine. I stripped the paint, re-painted it and replaced the leatherette with real leather.
