I bought this lens from a company specialising in secondhand photographic equipment of all brands. Shortly afterwards I saw and purchased an f/2 Nikkor-O.C 35mm from another company, and so I used the first lens only infrequently. Later still I entrusted it, along with a batch of other kit, to the company I had bought it from originally to sell on my behalf at their usual rate of commission. To my surprise, they said the lens was faulty; they could not offer it for sale; however to save return carriage costs they would add it to their 'recycling' box for disposal. As you can see, I paid for its return. It works very nicely despite dating from 1971.

I've made a slight crop and lifted the shadows. I ought to have metered for the foreground in the first place. Nikon D2Xs + Nikkor-O.C Auto 35mm f/2 lens. I am reminded of Thomas Pindelski's view that, 'This lens is fully the equal of any Leitz or Leica 35mm Summicron on a Leica M.' pindelski.org/Photography/2012/05/05/nikkor-o-35mm-f2-lens/

Canon EOS 40D + Nikkor-O.C 35mm f/2 lens. Why use a Nikon lens on a Canon camera? And the only answer I have is, because you can.
