EL Nikkor 63mm F3.5 Slow Lens

EL Nikkor lenses are designed primarily for photographic enlargers.
EL Nikkor lenses can also be used for specific projection and close-up photography as they process a high resolution throughout a wide range of wavelength.
Particularly, they are ideal for taking photographs under near ultraviolet ray which is emitted from cathode ray tube and fluorescent screen.
