- Camera Compatibility: Designed specifically as a front-mounted accessory/tele-converter lens for the Nikkorex Auto 35 consumer SLR camera rather than as a standalone interchangeable prime lens. [1]
- Focal Length Conversion: Converted the camera's built-in standard 48mm lens to an 85mm equivalent short telephoto reach. [1]
- Practical Application: Used for light telephoto subjects like tight-head portraits or narrowing the field of view on casual walks, before modular interchangeable-lens SLRs became standard for everyday users.
