FIELD TEST of the uber rare Nikon Reflex Nikkor 1000mm F6.3 super telephoto lens circa 1964

#1000mm #lenstest #vintagelens #F6.3 #lensreview #nikkor #nikon #reflex #catadioptric #supertelephoto It was the fastest 1000mm lens Nikon has ever made, and only about 60 were produced in the F mount. Most went to the government for military purposes, but precious few got into civilian hands... So how does this uber rare enigmatic super telephoto perform on modern equipment? Professional landscape photographer Timm Chapman puts his 'mid-life' crisis lens through the paces to see whether it's a real performer, or a dead weight. Disclaimer Timm Chapman is not a propeller head techno weenie. He's just a regular dude with a really irregular lens. He has no white lab coat, no PHD in optics, no professed knowledge of collimators and no interest in geeky graphs and charts. This is merely a low tech test of vintage glass on a modern DSLR...
