Overview

The Nikon Nikkor-SW 65mm f/4 is praised for spectacular sharpness and minimal linear distortion, though it exhibits steep light falloff at wide apertures that improves on stopping down. Its f/4 aperture aids viewing and focusing, but coverage limits movements compared to slower alternatives. The lens is considered the top choice in its focal length due to its large aperture. It suits large format photographers needing a fast, sharp ultrawide, particularly for 4x5 work where some falloff is acceptable.
