Yes, I know, such info does not matter in terms of picture-making, but I do like to know the design history of lenses I own.
When it comes to Nikkor large format lenses as far as I have been able to deduce they were first released in 1977 (according to a Nikon dealer catalogue that announces their “new” appearance). These were the first variants with Nikon Integrated Coating (which looks purple-pink).
Then another catalogue dated 2002 suggests the second variants with Nikon SUPER Integrated Coating appeared (which looks green). I’m guessing these were produced until circa 2012 based on when they seem to have dropped out of B&H catalogues).
Can anyone shed any light (corrections) on this indicative timeline?
