The 20 mm lens was my cherished possession and I hardly use it , it was used on my sparingly used hardy analogue camera the Nikon F 100 that I sold recently for Rs 4000 with a 50mm lens to a dear friend.
I had once bought it for Rs 59000 and the AA battery pack cost me an extra Rs 9000 ..the 50mm lens 1-4 cost me Rs 8000,
And this is Nikon resale value for a film camera or its accessories.
The 80 - 200 Nikon Lens 2-8 I recently sold for Rs 15000 I had got it for Rs 40000.
The 20 mm lens has a damaged back element as I walked on fire with my camera in a Shia ritual called Ag Ka Matam or fire walk.
The heat caused the damage and I decided to use it recently on my Nikon D 80.. just to see what results I would get.
So I shot a long series of street pictures with this once prime lens.
