EL Nikkor 105mm F5.6

EL Nikkor lenses are designed primarily for photographic enlargers. The aberration of the EL Nikkor lenses has been corrected for a short focusing distance according to their designed magnifying power, and differs from photographing lenses which are corrected for infinity. EL Nikkor lenses can also be used for specific projection and close-up photography as they process a high resolution throughout a wide range of wave length.

Brilliant Colors

The pictures were taken with Nikon Z6 and EL Nikkor 105mm F5.6 lens. It is a lens for enlargement. However, the colors are extremely neutral, dynamic and natural in nature. I used a standard Z 6 camera of 24.5 million pixels, The excellent image processing engine brought out the original potential power of the lens.
