Printing Nikkor 150mm F2.8 Optical Fantasy

Printing Nikkor Lenses are designed for precision optical printing where extremely high resolution, zero distortion and minimal aberations are required.
These lenses virtually eliminate all optical, especially chromatic, aberations.
All Printing Nikkor lenses provide outstanding performance at the specified standard magnification, as well as the entire usable magnification range.

In 1968 Tokyo, Nippon Kogaku released four kinds of Printing Nikkor lenses to the professional and critical market.
They were Printing Nikkor 75mm F2.8, 95mm F2.8, 105mm F2.8 and 150mm F2.8.
A lot of the cinefilm printing laboratories accepted this wonderful high-end lens.
The movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" might have been copied with this super lens.
Maybe so, it's good!

Printing Nikkor 150mm F2.8 and Original Blue Box The lens is stored in a large blue box. Of course, the inspection card is attached to it. Chief inspector was signed on the inspection card with "M. Hirao". The name is Mr. Matsuo Hirao. At that time, he was a manager of the inspection team. He lives happily in Japan though he retired from Nippon Kogaku now. Thank you Hirao-san!!

Nikon BR-5 Ring and BR-2 Ring Nikon BR-5 ring is used for reversing the 62mm diameter lens. And Nikon BR-2 ring is used for reversing the 52mm diameter lens. The BR-2 ring has F-mount. Both rings are sold in camera shop which you often visit.

Printing Nikkor 150mm F2.8 and BR-5 + BR-2 + M2 Ring You can mount the Printing Nikkor 150mm F2.8 perfectly to Nikon F with BR-5 ring and BR-2 ring. When a Bellows PB-4 unit is used, an M2-ring is unnecessary.

Fruit Museum

I went to the fruit museum, and saw the collection of the print label.
They were labels pasted to the wooden box to store the fresh peach. The label is old and has wilted.
However, the picture of printed peach was young and juicy fresh.
I put the lens on the glass case where the label has been exhibited.
I put the lens.
I put the Printing Nikkor 150mm F2.8 lens.
That's all.
It was slow motion like the scene of the movie.

This lens is the movie.
