Apo- and Process Nikkor info

[Steve Hamley]

Finally,

Here's a .pdf of a Word file that I copied from somewhere off the web of the brochure pictured at the bottom of the text. I did not record the URL as I usually do, so I cannot vouch 100% for the provenance, although I'm certain that it's from the pictured brochure.

Andrew Glover may be able to provide something here, I think he had some of the original brochures at one time.

Cheers, Steve

I couldn't really see the details on the brochures clearly, so I'm assuming that the image circles are rated at 1:1, rather than infinity?

[Dan Fromm]

Lachlan, its rarely safe to assume much but it was Nikon's custom to rate process lenses' coverage at 1:1. This has led many innocent sellers to make extravagant and false claims.

Steve, thanks for posting all this.

An interesting Japanese site: http://akiroom.com/redbook-e/collection2/fuji01.html
It is worth following the links on the page for more information.

And here's one I overlooked. It appears to be the last page of the brochure and the source of at least some of the information in the pdf file, although I did not copy it directly from this page, I found it somewhere else.

Lachlan and all, if you copy the files to your desktop you can enlarge them in whatever, Windows Picture and Fax, Photoshop, etc and you should be able to easily read them.

Cheers, Steve

Thanks, Steve.

Dan,

Great information. Thank you. As far as you know are any of the Dialites muti-coated?

[Dan Fromm]

PD, AFAIK they're all single-coated.

Dan,

Great information. Thank you. As far as you know are any of the Dialites muti-coated?

PD, thanks for the kind words.

I hope that you and other people who benefit from the information I compiled will also have kind words for Emmanuel Bigler and Henri Peyre, who acted, respectively, as editor (with a cattle prod) and publisher. Without their pressure and support the compilation would never have seen the light of day.
