Nikon 1000/11 Mirror (original) (raw)

Introduced in 1965, the 1000/11 Nikkor replaced the much larger 1000/6.3, and remains in production today. The first 1965 version used built in rotating filters, much like the 1000/6.3. The 2nd 1974 version dispensed with the rotating filters, and used instead screw in 39mm filters at the end of the rear mount. The 3rd 1976 version, the one pictured here, added a large rotating tripod mount. Nikon included six filters with the lens as shown above, stored in top of the lens case. A filter IS required in the optical path for the lens to focus correctly. The 39mm screw in filters included are: 4x neutral density filter, orange O56, A2(82A Conversion), B2(82 B Conversion), and two L37C(UV Haze). While hard to find, the 1000/11 is more plentiful than the other Nikon super telephotos: 1000/6.3, 1200/11, 2000/11, 360-1200/11, and 1200-1700/5.6-8.

The detachable screw in focusing handle is often lost and not offered for sale with used lenses.
