Incorporating a ringlight unit around its front element, the Medical-Nikkor is ideal for close-up work in the field of medicine, and has numerous other applications in science and industries.

It consists of a prime lens, a set of six auxiliary lenses and an AC or a battery power source for operating the lighting units.

The lens offers a choice of eleven different magnification ratios in combination with the six auxiliary lenses. (The prime lens alone gives the reproduction ratio of 1/1 5X and the auxiliary lenses, attached singlely or in varied combinations, provide a range of magnification ratios from 1/8X to 3X).

The Medical-Nikkor is self-compensating, eliminating all bothersome calculations for setting the diaphragm in relation to film speed and reproduction ratio. All that is required of the photographer is to set the lens for the ASA speed of the film used, attach the auxiliary lens or lenses in accordance with the desired magnification ratio, focus by moving the camera toward or away from the subject and release the shutter.

The automatic lens diaphragm stops down to correct aperture at the moment of exposure. Two illumination units are built into the lens: an electronic ringlight and pilot lamps.

The ringlight surrounds the front element of the lens to produce even and shadowless illumination. It may be removed from the lens for servicing and for providing special lighting angles. The color temperature of 6000° K permits the use of daylight color film. The flash duration is 1/500 second. The Medical-Nikkor ringlight synchronizes with the Nikon F2 at the shutter speed of 1/60 second, with the Nikon F at 1/30 second, and the Nikkormat at 1/60 second.

Positioned behind the ringlight are four incandescent bulbs that comprise the pilot lamps. These facilitate precise focusing in the dark. The lens also incorporates a device for printing an identification number (1 to 39) or magnification ratio (1/15X to 3X) in the lower right-hand corner of each frame by making use of a small fraction of the ringlight output or "leak" flash.

These figures serve as references, key numbers or as a guide to "right-side-up" projection. The intensity of the "leak" flash can be adjusted in three steps as indicated by "A,', "B" and "G" on the Identification Number/Reproduction Ratio Adjuster. When an unnumbered negative is required, the imprinting device can be blocked off by setting the adjuster to "D".

The Photomic series finders function solely as a viewfinder when used with the Medical Nikkor. The self-compensating feature of the lens diaphragm eliminates the need for exposure metering.

The Upgrade in the seventies.

With better operating simplicity and aperture of f45 is retained for maximun depth of field in close up works. It is actually a complete, self-contained close-up system with builtin electronic flash and focusing light. The Medical-Nikkor lens itself provides an image ratio of 1:15, covering a field size fully 330 x 440mm (13 x 19.5"). By adding (singly or in combination) the 6 supplementary lenses supplied, 10 other image ratios may be obtained, down to 3:1- thus filling the film frame with a subject just 8 x 12mm (0.3 x 0.45")! Because of the long focal length of the Medical-Nikkor, ample working distance is assured at every image ratio. The built-in electronic ringlight flash around the front lens element provides uniform and shadowless illumination of the subject, a distinct advantage when shooting a subject in a cavity or recessed area. Light output can be reduced to 1/4 to prevent over-exposure without changing the film speed. The flash duration of about 1/1000 sec. effectively freezes any subject motion, permitting hand-held shooting. The "leaklight" of the flash can be used to imprint the frame number (1 to 38) or the magnification ratio on the corner of the picture. Because the output of the ringlight is constant, the correct aperture is automatically set when the film speed and reproduction ratio are selected. Optical construction: 4 elements in 4 groups. Angle picture of view: 12°20', automatic diaphragm attachment size 38mm, weighing 700gms. Not compatible with teleconvertors TC200 or TC300.
