Nikkor LTM Nikkor-H.C. 1:2 5cm Nippon Tokyo: Your View

Nikkor M39 screw mount lenses
I was sent an early NKT 5cm f2 lens to work on. The front module is a little bit different from those that followed. The later ones have a flat rim that runs around the serated ring.

I'm referring to the 5cm F2. The glass looks the same, coating did change,

Thanks, Michael.
They look similar to me, but maybe the first image has more saturated colors.
 
In my opinion......the f2/50 "HC" is a must have for any Leica M8 owner......the early "Tokyo" version is slightly smoother/creamier than the later "Japan" lenses ~ but my 1957 era Chrome Click Stop version is one of the finest lens combos on Leica Digital, it outshines some of my older Leica lenses on the M8....it is a real "sleeper" lens.
(I even prefer it over the original Zeiss lens it was copied after...)

My single coat 50 2.0 Nikkor H makes really nice pics on my D700. So much so that I aquired a set of single coated lenses, 105 2.5 35 2.8 and a 24.
 
I must have been "weak" when I sold my Tokyo Nikkor 5cm recently. It is the time to reflect on 2009 and what we have done.
