Super Rare Nikkor Lenses

TV-NIKKOR EE 25mm F1.4 1962

I was amazed at this exhibition. There is a lens in front of me that is only listed in historical material.

The following material was excavated by Mr. Martin Moravcik of Slovakia, a world-famous Nikon super enthusiast, and provided to me Michio Akiyama Japan.

The following is a translation of the Japanese version of this document into English.

A. X-ray television Nikkor 35mm F0.9 (Leica L39 mount)

In X-ray televisions, when there is little light, electrical noise is generated in the image of the television cathode-ray tube, and the resolving power decreases. On the other hand, in order to avoid radiation damage of X-rays, X-rays should be used as weak as possible. X-ray TV Nikkor is a lens for taking images of electron tubes generated by X-rays.
Therefore, it is the most high-speed lens in the Nikkor lens which is on the market. The resolution is also excellent at wide open aperture F0.9.

B. Television Nikkor EE 25mm F1.4

The TV Nikkor EE has an EE (electric eye) mechanism and automatically adjusts light passing through the lens. Therefore, the amount of light entering the imaging tube or vidicon used for industrial television can constantly keep a constant amount.
Also, in order to protect the vidicon, this EE mechanism usually blocks light and adopts a special mechanism in which the diaphragm of the lens operates when photographing.

Even this material is very rare. But I am now facing the actual lens. There must be several people in the world who are amazed at this image.

As many of you may have noticed, its face is similar to the Nikkor H Auto 50mm F2. Since the F-mount lens was released in January 1964, it can be said that the same 1964 lens is a twin brother.
