Custom Sony E Lens

Here is a one-off custom Sony E lens built from the lens of a Nikon L35AF, the 1983 autofocus compact that Nikon nicknamed Pikaichi. The glass was taken out of the camera and mounted to a Sony E-mount body cap, so you get a small, pocketable lens that fits Sony mirrorless bodies. This is a custom assembly, not a lens Nikon or Sony made for the E-mount. The specifications below describe the donor lens.
