Nikon Nikkor Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct !!! ….would be a very expensive choice! 🙂
Once again, it’s interesting to me how many guesses (including from direct correspondence) I’ve received and how different they are from each other. However, someone earlier today was thinking along the same lines as you, but guessed the 7Artisans 50/1.1 (very different price point). The other guesses have involved anything from 24mm to 135mm!
This supports the idea that the lens, as long at it serves your purpose, really doesn’t matter (at least for web-sized images).
ok, another try: a fast Zeiss lens???
I have already had my guess, but I will also say what I think it is not: Leica. I just can’t think of a Leica lens that would look like this, save for maybe the Summar. I was dumb enough to sell mine many years ago. It’s always the case, isn’t it?
