Nikon Nikkor T ED 360mm f/8

Nikon Nikkor-T-ED 360mm f/8 is the ED-glass telephoto LF lens at 360mm — the second shortest T-ED, useful as a 4×5 long-tele or 5×7 portrait-tele.

Key features

• Mount: Copal 1 shutter (1s to 1/400, X-sync at all speeds)
• Focal length: 360mm (effective; physical length shorter than 360mm)
• Maximum aperture: f/8
• Image circle: ~240mm at f/22 — covers 4×5 with movements; covers 5×7 tightly
• Optical formula: ED-glass telephoto (asymmetric)
• Multi-coating standard

Use case + rendering

The 360 T-ED is the portable 4×5 long-tele — useful when a 360mm symmetric plasmat (Schneider Symmar, Apo-Symmar) wouldn't fit the bellows. ED glass reduces longitudinal chromatic aberration on color subjects.

Compatible cameras

• Toyo 45A / Toyo 45AII / Toyo 45G — particularly suited
• Cambo SC / Cambo Calumet 45NX
