Description — Nikon 75mm f/4.5 S Copal 0
The Nikon Nikkor SW 75mm f/4.5 S Copal 0 is a prime, wide-angle lens designed for large format camera systems. Operating at a fixed 75mm focal length with a maximum aperture of f/4.5, it delivers a broad wide-angle perspective well suited to the technical demands of large format work. The lens is mounted in a Copal 0 leaf shutter, the standard fitting for this class of large format optic, making it straightforward to integrate with compatible large format field and studio cameras.
At 230g, it is a manageable weight for a large format lens, particularly relevant for photographers working in the field. Manual focus is the sole focusing method, which aligns with the ground-glass focusing methodology central to large format photography. The 67mm filter thread allows for easy attachment of standard screw-mount filters. There is no image stabilization, consistent with the tripod-based nature of large format shooting.
