A wide-angle lens for the Nikon S series: W-Nikkor·C 35mm f/2.5, late version.
It features a beautifully finished black-painted aluminum barrel, weighing approximately 110g—lightweight and compact.
The lens adopts a 4-group, 6-element double Gauss-type optical design and has distance markings in feet.
This particular lens has a small “EP mark engraved on the stopper.

Its tapered, conical design gives it a refined and striking appearance when mounted on a Nikon S body.
With ample brightness, it delivers high central resolution even at full aperture, while gentle vignetting adds a touch of character to the overall rendering.

The distinct design is not only aesthetically appealing but also optically excellent—making it a joy to use even on modern mirrorless cameras.
The original metal lens hood is a rare accessory, but the recessed front element design means the lens performs beautifully even without one.

The lens is in beautiful cosmetic condition, showing virtually no signs of use.
The matte black paint retains its original texture, still exuding the atmosphere of a brand-new item from its era.
Aperture and helicoid movements are smooth and functional, and rangefinder coupling works perfectly.

When inspected under a strong LED light, an extremely faint trace of coating deterioration can be seen—but it is so minor that it has virtually no impact on actual image quality.
There is no haze or fungus, and the glass is clear and crisp.
Test shots also yielded excellent results.
