Nikon NIKKOR-W 240mm f/5.6 large format lens on Sinar DB board

The NIKKOR-W 240mm f/5.6 is a large format optic built specifically for 8x10 work, mounted here on a Sinar DB board and fitted with a Copal BT shutter. The Sinar DB mount integrates directly with Sinar's automatic shutter and aperture control system, meaning this lens drops straight into a Sinar technical or view camera workflow without modification. The included code plate is part of that system, allowing the camera body to read and control the lens electronically than requiring manual shutter cocking and tripping at the lens itself.

The NIKKOR-W designation places this in Nikon's wide-angle large format series, a design lineage built to cover the demanding image circles that 8x10 format requires. At f/5.6 maximum aperture, focusing on a ground glass is workable even in moderate light. Having the lens already mounted and code-plated removes the most time-consuming part of getting a large format lens into a Sinar system, and that convenience carries real weight when complete, ready-to-shoot large format assemblies are harder to source than bare glass alone.

Who It's For

8x10 large format photographers already shooting on Sinar technical or view cameras will find this lens immediately deployable, since the DB board and code plate mean no additional mounting or configuration work. Studio photographers doing product or architectural work on 8x10 benefit from the NIKKOR-W wide-angle large format design, which is engineered to cover the full 8x10 frame. Photographers building or expanding a Sinar DB system get a significant head start with a lens that arrives as a complete, shutter-equipped unit than bare glass requiring a separate board and calibration.
