Looking For Nikkor LF Lens Cat Online

[Richard K.]

Haven't been able to find one. Anybody? Thanks!:)

Is NIC single or multi coated? Are the lens inscribed as MC? Thanks again.

I"m pretty sure all black shuttered Nikkor LF lenses are Multi/NIC coated. None of my Black rim Copal Nikkor lenses have any mention of coating engraved on lens barrel.

Not sure about early Nikkor LF lenses but they are at the least single coated.

Hope that was what you are looking for.

Nikkor LF lenses appeared on the market around 1980. I think all of the regular LF lenses are therefore MC. I am not sure about the process lenses (Apo-Nikkor, Process Nikkor), they might be single coated.

I wonder if that includes the 150 SW? It's not listed in a cat that nice LF Forumer sent me...

And your answer:

ニコン独自の多層膜コーティングとあいまって

Yes, it's MC.

I have a German Nikkor LF catalog from around 1990 and it lists the 150SW, and states in the text that all SW's are MC (also the W, T, and M series have it in their respective blurbs, the only one where it is missing is the AM series, but I think they are MC, too).

Which of course translates as "Coupled with Nikon's original multilayer coating"

Thank you!

Interesting, in this one cat they refer to 105, 300 and 450 M but not the 200. And only the 270 T, not the 360/500/720 etc. I had not heard of the 105 M.

Thanks all for the great information!

Richard, here http://www.mynikon.pl/pub/nikon/pdf/2004/Nikkor%20Lenses%20for%20Large-Format%20Cameras.pdf is a newer one. I have it on disk, had forgotten where I found it. Searched, found it again. Knowing its title helped a lot.

One additional point: There was a predecessor line to the Nikkor-M, the Nikkor-Q. I think those were single coated, otherwise they were the same Tessar type optics.

More recent ones are MC. I've a 305/9 SC, and a 480 that's MC. But comparing its reflections to the 90/8's I can conclude that's not NIC, but a more traditional MC.
