Zunow probably refers to the Japanese word zuno meaning “brain”. The development of ZUNOW 5cm f/1.1 started in 1943 during World War II. Japanese Navy requires a high-speed lens which uses for aviation searches and recons. This lens first appeared in 1953, developed by Mr. HAMANO, Michisaburo, who had come to Nippon Kogaku K.K. from the navy and would later move on to Teikoku Optical Industries and completed after 10 years of time. The ZUNOW 5cm f/1.1 has 5 groups and 9 elements, with a Sonnar-type design. It was produced in Contax rangefinder, Nikon rangefinder and Leica thread mounts.
