The millennium 50 f1.4 is sold only bundled with the S3 2000.

When new, yes. Twenty one years later and quite a few sets have been split up with lens and body sold separately in the used market.

Portra 160. Distortion is low but not absent.

Beautiful! How do you like the lens on your M10? Which adapter do you use?

Reviving this thread in hopes more people will show some of their Millennium Nikkor shots.
I came to two (!) samples of this lens like the virgin Mary to the child as some book says.
I bought one offered to me to be used on Leica M bodies and just a short while later I had a chance to pick up a S3 Millennium kit, including another one.

I like this lens so much that I keep both - one permanently on a Nikon SP and another one welded to an Amedeo adapter to be used on Leica M bodies.

I like it best on the SP to say the least ;-)

Here is a shot that shows why I love this lens so much - although it has a bit of a double gauss craziness, with an open aperture it does work still nicely for backgrounds but is ALWAYS pin sharp - amazing considering how old this Nikkor design is - eat this Leitz ;-)

Great shot and nice rendering. Do you still use this lens? Also on your Digital LEICA M?
