During this period, the Nikon F, a single-lens reflex camera with the Nikon F mount, was released, and the lenses that appeared along with it were called "Nikkor Auto." In particular, the lenses that appeared at the same time as the "Nikon F" released in 1959 included, of course, 35mm wide-angle lenses, Micro-Nikkors, and 43-86mm zooms. From the above, it can be seen that this lens hood is 50-60 years old. It's a miracle that items from this era remain in almost unused condition, as dead stock. No signs of aging are apparent. However, there may be scratches from the manufacturing process if viewed with a loupe, so please refrain from purchasing if you are expecting a completely new item. The original box has scratches as it has been stored in various locations over a very long period. There is also the nylon bag that the hood came in at the time. This is a very rare lens hood. I don't think items like this will appear again in the future. This is a hood for collectors. Not only for Nikon fans, but also for Leica and Hasselblad fans.
