Dr. Zyun Koana's Special Exhibition
Doctor Zyun Koana (1907-1985) was a science professor of the University of Tokyo.
He is the first camera doctor of the "Asahi Camera", Japanese shutterbug magazine.
Dr. Koana is famous as father of the Ultra Micro Nikkor lenses.
Why is he called like that?
Dr. Koana demanded the lens which has over 1,000 lines/mm resolution
as for the super-micro photographs to Nippon Kougaku.
He did the reduction copy of all the English novel 330 pages
into a small postage stamp size using Ultra Micro Nikkor 29.5mm F1.2 lens.
