Nikon 450mm f/9 M
The Nikon Nikkor M 450mm f/9 is a compact telephoto large format lens with a 440mm image circle, covering 11x14in format. At 640g with a 67mm filter thread, it is remarkably lightweight for a 450mm lens with this much coverage. The M designation indicates Nikon's compact design philosophy. It serves as a standard-to-telephoto on 8x10in and covers 11x14in, making it a versatile optic for large and ultra-large format photography.
