Ryu's Press Lecture

Is Mountain Nikkor a lens for the hobby?
The answer is "Very No!".
Mr. Ryu Koakimoto, a professional photojournalist, asserted that the Mountain Nikkor lens is excellent.
Koakimoto reported the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force in October, 1961.
His purpose was taking a picture of the formation of the Lockheed P2V-7 Neptune, maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare.
He also boarded the Lockheed P2V-7 Neptune!
Please look at this beautiful photograph.
Koakimoto took this photograph by Nikon SP.
And, the lens was a MOUNTAIN NIKKOR 105mm F4!!
