![]() APO EL Nikkor 210mm F5.6 How to use the APO EL Nikkor 210mm F5.6 lens My APO EL Nikkor 210mm F5.6 lens came to me in the summer of 2003. However, the lens had a special 82mm screw mount so I couldn't attach it to my Nikon camera. It was an "ornamental lens" for a while. Three years have passed since I got the lens. In 2006, the situation was a big step forward. I custom made the Nikon mount adapter to use the APO EL Nikkor 210mm F5.6 lens.

Custom Made Nikon Mount Adapter for APO EL Nikkor 210mm F5.6 Nikon F Mount I was able to attach the APO EL Nikkor 210mm F5.6 lens to my Nikon PB-4 bellows using an 82mm⌀ custom adapter. If the lens can be made into a Nikon F mount, it can be mounted on the Nikon Z series high-performance mirrorless camera via Nikon FTZ mount adapter.

![]() APO EL Nikkor 210mm F5.6 APO EL Nikkor Technology The unexcelled qality of Nikon-built cameras and lenses has greatly contributed to the widespread use of 35mm format photography. Quite naturally, Nikon has responded to the needs og the film processor as well. In ordnary photoengraving lenses, 1 : 1 is the standard magnification. But when used to produce large images, such as in the step and repeat method, a truly sharp image was difficult to ogtain.
![]() APO EL Nikkor 210mm F5.6 To reproduce images as much as ten times the size of the original requires lenses designed for high magnification work with the aberrations fully corrected over the entire range. Apo-EL-Nikkor Lenses have been designed with standard magnifications of 2X (170mm), 5X (210mm and 480mm) and 10X (105mm and 300mm) to provide a wider range of application. Working in such a powerful magnification range opens the possibility for a host of problems due to insufficiencies in the reproducing lens. Apo-EL-Nikkor Lenses surpass this challenge with highly ellective aberration correction and extremely sharp resolving power. These lenses are designed exclusively to provide superior performance when making critical photoenlargements or exacting color separations from small original film formats. Optimum performance is available not only at the standard magnifications but is maintained throughout the entire range. Apo-EL-Nikkor Lenses are available in five focal lengths for various sized originals.

![]() Professional Lens Shade Excellent Apochromat Lens APO EL Nikkor 210mm F5.6 lens is designed for color separation work involving high magnification and, through a combination of special Nikon-produced optical glasses and an ingenious optical design, chromatic aberration is corrected not only for the three primar colors, but for the entire visible range of the spectrum.

Dynamic and Elegance Moreover, APO EL Nikkor 210mm F5.6 lens is corrected for chromatic aberration in the near ultaviolet and near infrared ranges since the spectrum sensitivity of film emusions is not always identical to that of the humaneye. These lenses provide an extra margin of fidelity resulting in more accurately reproduced color and richer tone.
