Repro Nikkor 170mm F1.4

One of the super rare lenses for the REPRO-Nikkor series. The Repro-Nikkor 170mm F1.4 consisted of ten elements set in a big heavy weight and platinum silver gorgeous barrel. The rim of the lens is engraved as "REPRO-NIKKOR 1:1.4 f=170mm M=1 Nippon Kogaku" with black painted character. Therefore, the lens is highly efficient, and a distortion is 0%!!!

You can see very beautiful and elegant, gorgeous body of the super high-resolution lens. And you can make the fantastic legend with this lens.

Chotoku-san and Repro Nikkor

The owner of this lens is Mr. Chotoku Tanaka. Mr. Chotoku Tanaka is the most famous photo artist in Japan, for the people who like the camera. We are calling him Chotoku-san affectionately. Chotoku-san is supporting the mind of my Web site, RED BOOK NIKKOR. Because he has very big power and passion, he helps my dreaming project which does not become money.

By the cooperation to me of Chotoku-san, the younger brother Repro-Nikkor 85mm F1.0 was able to meet the older brother Repro-Nikkor 170mm F1.4 once again. It was a good story.

Repro-Nikkor

The hallmark of the Repro-Nikkor is aberration-free high-speed at 1 : 1 magnification in the 35mm film format. In this circumstance the lens is unique. Conventional close-up lenses lack the requisite speed.

And, since high-speed lenses made for general photography are optimized for infinity focus their aberrations are maximized at 1 : 1. Certain specialized lenses, for example, those for copiers are made only as fast as f/5.6, largely because of the formidable difficulties of correcting aberrations at higher speeds.

Applications

The special characteristics of the Repro-Nikkor make it the lens of choice for certain special categories of photography.

(1) Close-up phenomena under poor light conditions.
(2) Images or traces on cathode ray tube (CRT) screens.
(3) As a relay lens to receive virtually all the rays from a front lens system.
(4) Reproduction of original images already photographed on high resolution film with extremely high accuracy, full resolution, and precise focusing.
