And honestly, the coating that comes with the newer versions isn&#8217;t worth the extra dollars. The lens design goes back to 1936 and despite being simple, produces excellent results, especially when shot wide open.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/50250514873\/in\/album-72157661488973661\/\" title=\"Classic Camera Revival - Episode 88 - Go Long!\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50250514873_1563366277_h.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" alt=\"Classic Camera Revival - Episode 88 - Go Long!\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Surprisingly not the largest lens we covered this show.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lens Specs:<br \/>\nMake: Carl Zeiss<br \/>\nModel: Carl Zeiss Sonnar 1:5.6 f=250mm<br \/>\nFocal Length: 250mm<br \/>\nAperture Range: f\/5.6 \u2013 f\/45, 5 Blades<br \/>\nOptics: 4 Elements in 3 Groups<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/johnmeadowsphotography.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/07\/500cm_uf800jm_0001.jpg?w=920&#038;h=901\" alt=\"Portrait of a man wearing sunglasses\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/johnmeadowsphotography.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/06\/500cm_hp5p_pyro0001.jpg?w=920&#038;h=908\" alt=\"A dock with a sailboat in the background\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/johnmeadowsphotography.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/06\/500cm_hp5p_pyro0011.jpg?w=920&#038;h=926\" alt=\"A bird with boats in the background\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 200mm 1:4D<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you&#8217;re a serious macro shooter there is no other lens you&#8217;ll want in your collection. According to James, this is by the far the best macro or microlens that Nikon has ever produced. If you do a lot of work with bugs or need that tonne of details, you&#8217;ll want this lens as it produces a true 1:1 magnification factor. While it is designed to do macro work it does a great job for general use. It is a sharp lens at any aperture with next to no falloff so it might not be your first choice for portraiture, but it still will do the job.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/axle81401\/50251352962\/in\/album-72157661488973661\/\" title=\"Classic Camera Revival - Episode 88 - Go Long!\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/50251352962_13a30602b8_h.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" alt=\"Classic Camera Revival - Episode 88 - Go Long!\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is the biggest lens we talked about on today&#8217;s show!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lens Specs:<br \/>\nMake: Nikon<br \/>\nModel: AF Micro-Nikkor 200mm 1:4D<br \/>\nFocal Length: 200mm<br \/>\nAperture Range: f\/4 \u2013 f\/45, 9 Blades<br \/>\nOptics: 13 Elements in 8 Groups<\/p>\n<p><figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jamesl99\/44630360864\/\" title=\"F6-RVP100-MCA-005\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/1953\/44630360864_c96a4bedf8_h.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" alt=\"F6-RVP100-MCA-005\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nikon F6 &#8211; AF Micro-Nikkor 200mm 1:4D &#8211; Fujifilm Velvia 100F<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jamesl99\/44439868925\/\" title=\"F6-RVP100-MCA-006\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/1977\/44439868925_fa49ca4b85_h.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" alt=\"F6-RVP100-MCA-006\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nikon F6 &#8211; AF Micro-Nikkor 200mm 1:4D &#8211; Fujifilm Velvia 100F<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jamesl99\/44439870655\/\" title=\"F6-RVP100-MCA-004\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/1956\/44439870655_a7565dd36b_h.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" alt=\"F6-RVP100-MCA-004\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nikon F6 &#8211; AF Micro-Nikkor 200mm 1:4D &#8211; Fujifilm Velvia 100F<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p>Want a subscription to SilverGrain Classics and are a fan of Classic Camera Revival? <a href=\"https:\/\/photoklassik-international.com\/shop\/ref\/32\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Visit their shop online<\/a> and buy a magazine or a subscription?
