d_balzac Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 <p>I found some amazing pages from Japan with some very exotic Nikkor lenses. I did not even know Nikon had fastest production lens ever TV-Nikkor 35 f/0.9 (beats both Canon and Leica) and Some Amazing 85 f1. Check this out. Its such a cool stuff. <br> http://homepage2.nifty.com/akiyanroom/redbook-e/index.html</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rene11664880918 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 <p>Well, I think there is so much we don't know about companies like Nikon and Canon. Just a few days ago I was watching a program on N/G and they had this high tech microscopes and I notice the Nikon logo on them.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis_vener_photography Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 <p>I wonder how one of those Macro-Nikkors (as opposed to the much more common Micro-Nikkors) will do as duping lenses for Full frame DSLRs?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.transcendentphoto.com Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 <p>incredible collection! awesome</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_balzac Posted February 23, 2009 Author Share Posted February 23, 2009 <p>I just think how good to have 35mm f0.9 as Normal lens for my D200 :)... Can put to shame D700 low light performance. Oh</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oskar_ojala Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 <p>That page has a pretty good reputation. The lenses are special purpose; they might not be for the F-mount, they might be optimized for monochromatic light, for one magnification ratio etc.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akira Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 <p>Ellis, for duping, Printing-Nikkor or Repro-Nikkor should serve you better than the Macro-Nikkors because they are designed for the very purpose. A couple of Printing-Nikkors are still in production under "Nikon Rayfact" brand name at Tochigi-Nikon who makes special lenses for industrial use. I suppose the price range of these lenses is similar to that of AF-S super teles!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljuddakalilknyttphotogra Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 <p>Hey guys & gals - -<br> I found a couple of ultra Micros on ebay - - just do a search - - the price tag is rather interesting. :-D</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjørn rørslett Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 <p>Most Ultra-Micro-Nikkors will not illuminate the entire FX format. The 55/2 is superb on DX, though. In a reversed position, the 28/1.8 can deliver excellent photomacrographic images for an 6x9 camera. I never bothered getting more of the Ultra-Micro-Nikkors than these two (and that at a time when you could get the 55 for 30 $, less for the 28).</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgars_kalnins Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 <p>I have just looked at some of the super fast ones. it is all very interesting! One thing i wonder - how come they are so lightweight and why cannot thay be adapted for "normal" photography? how would they compare to modern fast lenses? my canon 85/1.2 is almost twice heavier than <a href="http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/repro/repro1pon.html">REPRO Nikkor 85mm F1.0</a>. I am probably missing something very important about these exotic lenses.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewart_corman Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 <p>I posted on an old thread and for some reason it didn't show up in the unified <br /> forums listing, although I see it added to the thread and in my profile listing (very odd?):<br /> <br /> http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00QCXk<br /> <br /> <br /> Anyway, been doing some DD on a truly exotic apo industrial copy lens: the <br /> Printing-Nikkor 105mm/f2.8 . This is a good place to organize my thoughts.<br /> <br /> came up with the original brochure:<br /> http://savazzi.homeip.net/download/Printing-Nikkor.pdf<br /> <br /> as it turns out, Nikon transferred this lens to the Tochigi divison and to the<br /> best of my knowledge it is currently still being manufactured:<br> http://www.daitron.com/tochigi_nikon/pdf/Rayfact-NX-data.pdf<br> I have seen an undocumented old list price of $6480 ..if anyone can document this number, I'd be apreciative<br /> <br /> in another link:<br /> http://homepage2.nifty.com/akiyanroom/redbook-e/repro/printing105.html<br /> the resolution is specified as:<br /> " Aerical resolving power 240 lines/mm (center, 1/1X)<br /> Aerical resolving power 180 lines/mm (60mm circle, 1/1X)"<br /> <br /> If I convert the 180l/mm number to digital format for a full frame 35mm (24mm<br /> high), I get 4320LW/PH .... please correct me if my calcs are wrong</p> <p>this is outstanding performance, since the test results on the<br> Nikon D3x/24.5MP camera with prime lens was only 2700LW/PH at best setting (dpreview)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harold_gough Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 <p>I have recently obtained a 105mm Printing Nikkor and am using it for macro.
