Tochigi Nikon 300mm T2.2 & Nikkor 300mm f/2.0

Tochigi Nikon 300mm T2.2 & Nikkor 300mm f/2.0

19 January, 2012

 

 

 

Nikkor 300mm F2.0 lens was released in July 1983, it was a high definition lens sought by sports photographers providing faster shutter speed to better capture the gentler moving actions of athletes and destined to cover events at the 1984 Olympics. However, because of high production cost and insufficient orders, only 441 lenses were manufactured till 1985.

 

We like to introduce the Tochigi Nikon 300mm T2.2, a product of 21st century. Nikon developed this lens in 2001 mainly used for cinematography. In 2002, a broadcasting corporation approached Nikon to purchase 20 lenses at US$30,000 each. However, that broadcasting corporation canceled the order. Fortunately, Nikon have not given up the production plan and decided to offer the lenses to publics at special price of US$20,000 each and accompanied with ARRI PL/ B4 or Nikon F.
