No - good grief - only 500 of those were made and the bits, like hoods and
unbroken rear caps are literally worth a fortune as they're even rarer. It
was an early 'F' fit (7,500 made) with type three viewfinder (flat shoe for
Nikkormat).
I like the 21mm length because there is just enough distortion to be
interesting without overwhelming the purpose of the image. Nikon/Canon 20's
are OK too but by the time you get to 18mm, it starts to bother me. Mine is
single coated but seems excellent and meets the OM test - tough, tiny and
light.
