Repro-Nikkor

The hallmark of the Repro-Nikkor is aberration-free high-speed at 1 : 1 magnification in the 35mm film format.
In this circumstance the lens is unique.
Conventional close-up lenses lack the requisite speed.
And, since high-speed lenses made for general photography are optimized for infinity focus their aberrations are maximized at 1 : 1.
Certain specialized lenses, for example, those for copiers are made only as fast as f/5.6, largely because of the formidable difficulties of correcting aberrations at higher speeds.

Applications

The special characteristics of the Repro-Nikkor make it the lens of choice for certain special categories of photography.

(1) Close-up phenomena under poor light conditions.
(2) Images or traces on cathode ray tube (CRT) screens.
(3) As a relay lens to receive virtually all the rays from a front lens system.
(4) Reproduction of original images already photographed on high resolution film with very high accuracy, full resolution, and precise focusing.
