Description from the seller

Thank you for your interest in my item.

*Nikon Nikkor-N.C Auto 35mm f/1.4 - Legendary "Atom Lens" - F-Mount's First f/1.4 Wide-Angle

This is the legendary Nikkor-N.C Auto 35mm f/1.4, Nikon's first-ever f/1.4 wide-angle lens for the iconic F-mount.

A true collector's piece, the "N.C" designation signifies it is one of the early models featuring Nikon's advanced Multicoating (C).

This lens is famous among collectors for its use of Thorium glass (known as an "Atom Lens"). This results in the characteristic warm, amber tint (yellowing) seen in many units, which is not a flaw but a testament to its unique optical heritage.

It delivers a distinctive rendering that modern lenses cannot replicate: beautifully soft bokeh at f/1.4 and excellent sharpness when stopped down. This is a rare opportunity to own a significant milestone in Nikon's optical history.
