The seller didn't have any takers at 298,000 yen for this one on the YJ auctions, so maybe it will be listed for less again soon.

Why is it so expensive?

Crazy price, but I'd snatch it up if I had that much loose cash. Would love to use it on my M2. My S mount copy almost never leaves my SP.

Thanks for the new serial numbers everyone! Interesting that they all fall within the known serial number range.
Besides the existence/absence of a red C, here's another variation that I noticed recently. Different colour coating!
I did notice a perceptible difference in how they render colour too. The lens on the left renders slightly "warmer" (and perhaps is more suited to B&W) and the lens on the right renders slightly "cooler". Makes sense as a coating change in the late 1950s would probably have been to improve performance for colour film.

I scale focus with this most of the time, and in low light it goes on my M6 with fast film.

Anyone got the genuine rectangular hood for this lens? I'd be interested to see pics of it, especially mounted on the lens.

Nice collection! How's that Rokkor perform?
Haven't a clue, those aren't mine. Just came across the pic on one of the camera groups on fb.

That one has got a C. It has been blacked out with a felt tip or something similar.
Yes indeed, it is there, hard to see!
