Nikon 13mm f/5.6 AI-s.
OLD: Boris is trying to sell a Nikon 13mm f/5.6 Serial Number 175,960, now asking $81,459.95.
Boris can’s seem to dump this. He tried back in January 2025 asking $73,580.65 and no one bit by PhotoAlps GmbH over eBay.
This is the same sample of lens (Nº 175,960) that was last sold by Houston Camera Exchange over eBay for $50,000 back in December 2023.
No, no, es pura coincidencia.
PhotoAlps GmbH and Boris and Arsenal all seem to be the very same guy trying to resell this. Obviously it wasn’t worth the $78,000 he was asking back in fall of 2024. Since the serial numbers are unique it’s easy to track resales, this lens is worth $50,000 at best. Make him and offer if you want it. No Nikon collection is a Nikon Collection without one of these.
I dumped mine a few years ago because it’s optically far inferior to much more basic lenses, and I realize there are fewer and fewer old guys left who even know what this is, much less care, as far as collectability goes. Unlike LEICA, Nikon is not immortal and desire for it doesn’t span generations eternal as does LEICA and PORSCHE.
