Hi guys. I have this pre AI 28 f3,5 with a typo on the name. It says "Kog ku" instead of "Kogaku" and letters are engraved, not painted. I'll try to add a picture. Is this collectible ? Thanks for reading.

So... there is this guy on eBay who peddles old Nikkor lenses for obscene prices on the basis that it has red dot here and not there, and other stuff of that sort. If you manage to find him - check his sales history, it may give you an idea of how robust the market is for these things. |

Unique or close to it, i.e. rare, is collectable imho. The hard part is finding a Collector!

Like anything collectible the value is determined by the market. What I would do if I wanted maximum return? Put on ebay with a inflated price, then wait, to develop interest. After some suitable time frame (to be determined by how much you need the money) change to an auction.

It would probably only have added value if there was some provenance attached, such as a magazine article interview in which someone from Nikon acknowledged said defect with an interesting story to go with the new price tag. Without the acknowledgement by the source, it's more about how much hype you can bolster. Anyway, we all know that any added value for a lens lies in the glass, not the barrel. As in hidden performance. There would be more value trying to prove they used NOCT glass for this special lens.  |
Yet the mints attached little provenance to double strikes of stamps and coins...
