Printing Nikkor 105mm F2.8 Far Eastern Traditional Weekend

Printing Nikkor 105mm F2.8

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.
I had already collected the Printing Nikkor 150mm F2.8 lens.
Recently I obtained her younger sister, the Printing Nikkor 105mm F2.8 lens.
As you know, Printing Nikkor Lenses are designed for precision optical printing where extremely high resolution, zero distortion and minimal aberations are required.

Outstanding Performance

Printing Nikkor 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.

Far Easten Traditional Weekend

I stayed in Fujiya Hotel for three days with my family for taking a picture of Printing Nikkor 105mm F2.8 lens.
The Fujiya Hotel , which was established in 1878, has been renowned globally as one of the most classical resort hotels in Japan.
Also the Fujiya is the grandest, most majestic hotel in Japan.
I believe it is one of the loveliest historic hotel in Japan.
I love this hotel for its comfortably old-fashioned atmosphere, including a Japanese-style roof.
You can touch the wooden windows and long wooden corridors with photographs of famous guests. Many famous people including Albert Einstein, Hellen Keller, Margaret Thatcher, and Japan's emperors have visited the Fujiya.
John Lennon, Yoko Ono and their little son stayed long in the summer of 1978.

I have put the Printing Nikkor 105mm F2.8 lens on the table at main dining room where Mr. John Lennon enjoyed Japanese summer dinner someday.
