10.5cm f2.5 Nikkor

<p>Finally got a 10.5cm f2.5 Nikkor in leica screw mount (the model with a tripod socket). I'm surprised by how much smaller and lighter it is than the Nikon S Mount version. In fact, it's probably comparable to a Titanium 90mm f2.8 Elmarit-M. Heavy, yes, but managable. I've used the 105mm f2.5 Gauss design a lot on SLRs and love its images. Really looking forward to checking out the Sonnar.</p>

<p>Look forward to seeing and hearing about your comparisons to the Gauss design.</p>

my first "extra" lense was a 105MM !2.5 Nikkor I bought in 1966 -- it was incredibly sharp; wonderful portraits. Enjoy.<br>

<p>I have one in Contax mount. I had one in Leica screw years ago and they seem to be the same size.</p>

<p>Wonderful lens. I use the Nikon 10.5cm BL finder with it.</p>

<p>The one in Nikon S mount is a beast on my SP.</p>

I have this lens in Nikon F mount and ltm, with both lenses being Sonnar design.

<p>The 90mm frame lines on the Leica M3 match perfectly with a 105 Nikkor.</p>
