Nikon used this lens to defend the position of Nikon lens in the 1970 s and 1980 s, which is a classic among classics. Everyone knows that Germany's Zeiss, Leica and Schneider lenses are the boss, and Japan can't compete at all. The technology of this head is also imitating the German department. In addition, the Soviet lens level was also very high at that time, because the factories of Zeiss and Leica moved directly from Germany to the Soviet Union when the Soviet Union occupied Germany in World War II. Therefore, Nikon is not only willing to produce SLR, but also wants to share a piece of the lens.
