This time I cleaned the zoom lens of Nikon.
It is quite heavy, and when I weighed it, it was about 800g. It’s a Zoom lens, so it’s a natural weight.
It was released in 1985 and for a vintage lens
It’s new. Therefore it keeps a nice appearance. There are a few scratches, but there is no problem in use.
I think that the combination of a solid feeling and a beautiful lens is important in valuing things.
By all means, please try owning a lens that has become more beautiful with cleaning.
