1800mm APO Nikkor

[Drew Wiley]

Interesting lens series, but even the link missed quite a few of em, including the ones with both SQUARE and multi-bladed adjustable apertures. The longest one
I own is a 760, but it would be nice to have that 1800 mounted to a cell phone for more distant shots. It would all be soooo nice and compact, because you could even fit several spare cell phone cameras inside the lens cap itself, maybe an SLR too. It would make a nice jack for changing tires too.

How much does such a lens cover?

There are two "1800/14" Apo-Nikkors. 1780/14, dialyte type, covers ~ 1160 mm, weighs ~ 6.4 kg. 1800/14, tessar type, covers ~ 1140 mm, weighs ~ 8.6 kg.

That lens would be almost perfect for The Giant Mobile Camera

You're kidding right??? Holy crap? They made a 2700mm f/12 APO Nikkor???? What??? What kind of coverage is that? Lol!

[Tin Can]

I Drew the line at 900 mm f9 APO Jena.

Plenty of coverage for anything I might do, my camera can support it, with movements and shoot 1 to 1, which requires 75" of bellows.

All the dog I need. LOL



sorry Drew, sometimes I can't contain myself...

Achromatic doublet, more likely. If it is an Apo-Nikkor or similar most of the lens ain't there.

As far as I know -- could be mistaken -- the longest process lens cataloged is the 2500/12.5 Apo Saphir. I have a Boyer catalog with a picture of 13 of them and Eric Beltrando tells me that he saw a batch of 8 ready for shipment. So there at least 13 were made, possibly 21, perhaps a few more. Practically speaking the lens doesn't exist. I'd be happy if someone turns up a catalog that lists a longer process lens.

Gotcha, pretty specialized, not many, probably hiding in a warehouse forgotten :/
