Nikkor lenses of those ages are, imho, less "elegant" than the contemporary Leitz : fonts, finishing details, shape... all in all, apart my passion :o, I really think that this is a fact: BUT... I saw so many excellent pics taken with them, that I have came in the conclusion that it was with THAT breed, the RF lenses designed for the S series, that Nikon really showed that they knew how to design good lenses, with no need to copy historical German designs.

If it was good enough for David Douglas Duncan it's good enough for me.

And mine takes a great photo.
