After much trial and tribulation with Fed Ex my beautiful old but new to
me 1780mm Nikkor Apo F14 process lens arrived today. I plan on using it
(assuming I can attach this 18 lb monster to my HF 35x35 camera) for my
retirement 10 year ambrotype project "KANATA" a documentation and
interpretation of my country Canada (portraits, landscapes and
seascapes). I have the lens at work tonight and am cleaning it up, it is
very dusty, probably been sitting in a closet in California for years.
Here she is, ain't she "BEAUTIFUL!" I have been told there might only be 5-7 of these currently being used in the world . The rest of these large, wonderful lens (up to 200 originally made) were destroyed (what a terrible waste), damaged , or are simply forgotten, hidden away in dark closets.
