Ultra Micro Nikkor 155mm F4, Meet the Amida Imagine

Ultra Micro Nikkor 155mm F4

One of the extra grand lens for the Ultra-Micro-NIKKOR series. Someone said that it is the Amida Imagine of the Far East. It was introduced in the 1960's latter period from Nippon Kogaku, Japan.

The Ultra Micro Nikkor 155mm F4 consisted of seven elements set in a black painted barrel with special 72 mm screw thread. The rim of the lens is engraved as " β=1/10" with red character. The Ultra Micro Nikkor 155mm F4 used 72mm accessories. A Nikon 72 mm filter, for example, a Nikon 72 mm L37C filter is just fit to it. You can see very beautiful and mysterious purple coating on the lens.

Its large 80 mm circle image area ideally suits it to the making of photomasks for large pattern unit LSI manufacturing processes. With its standard 1/10 magnification, the lens guarantees resolving power of 200 lines/mm over an 80 mm circle image area, 300 lines/mm or more over a 56 mm circle image area.
