Quote:The 50mm f1.2 is probably the best 50mm Nikon has made, and I want one. How many aperture blades does yours have?
9, although its serial number indicates that it must be an early copy of this version. I guess the older version with 7 blades would be very hard to find nowadays. And the optics do not seem to differ between the two versions.
I find it remarkable that this lens is still sold new (among other MF Nikkor lenses). Maybe there will be an FM4a someday... :-)
