Apo El Nikkor

Subject: APO El Nikkor

I was asked if I knew the focal lengths of Apo El Nikkors but lost the E mail address of the questioner.

They are as follows...

105mm for 2/1/4" Sq to 4x5 at 5-20X 210mm for 4x5 to 5x7" use at 2-10x 300mm for 2 1/2 X 3 1/2" to 5x7 at 5-20x and finally 485mm for 5x7 to 10x12 at 3-10x.

Hope that helps!

I wasn't the questioner but thanks for the information! I thought there was a 170mm Apo-EL-Nikkor too, but didn't see that in your list?

The particular vintage of brochure I have only shows those four, it may be possible that there were more lenses made later or even earlier its tough to say as Nikkor were all over the place with designs. My brochure isn't dated so I can't even give that info, sorry!

Yep, there is a 170. It is optimized for a smaller enlargement ratio and is for making 8x10's or 11x14's from 6x6 originals. Just wonderful too.
