One of Nikon’s most extreme camera lenses is on the market for $161,400 dollars.
The 6 mm f/2.8 lens was made in 1970 and introduced at the Photokina trade show in Cologne, Germany. Its better known for being one of the most “extreme fisheye lens”, weighs 5200 grams and can take photographs in 220° angle. It measures 236 mm by 171 mm long. Quite big.
The Grays of Westminster, a specialty camera store in London, has it for sale at the moment. Gray Levett, one of the cofounders of the store, found the lens while overseas and believes its one of the few left of the few hundred Nikon produced back in the 70’s.
The lens was created to allow photographers to get images that would encompass both earth and sky while on an expedition to Antarctica.
