hen it comes to choosing photographic equipment,

perhaps the most important decision a photographer

faces is which lens system to use. For the majority of

professional photographers, that choice is simple:

Nikkor. Wh y? Because NIKKOR lenses offer unrivalled clarity,sharpness, focusing accurac y, range and reliability.

The reasons for this are man y, not the least of which is

Nikon‘s total commitment to controlling every aspect of lens

manufacturing. B y selecting onl y the finest raw materials and

emplo ying the most advanced processing and design tech-

niques, Nikon produces the precision-crafted lens elements that

help you take the world’s greatest pictures.This no-compromise attitude toward ultrahigh-tech manufac-

turing extends to performance. For each NIKKOR lens is

ikon began producing lenses under the NIKKOR name in 1933, and since then morethan 40 million lenses have been sold worldwide. Throughout the years, our unwaver-ing commitment to quality and innovation has yielded man y breakthroughs in the photo-graphic industry. For example, Nikon introduced the Nikkor Auto 24mm f /2.8 incorpo-

rating Nikon-pioneered Close-Range Correction (CRC) system in 1967, and startedproduction of aspherical lenses in 1968. In addition, Nikon developed ED (E xtra-lo w Dispersion) glass which made its first appearance in the 300mm f /2.8 ED Nikkor tele-photo in 1972, and is now incorporated in man y other NIKKOR lenses. And in 2003,

Nikon produced the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f /4G IF-ED, as the first lensoptimised for Nikon DX-format digital SLRs in the new DX NIKKOR series.

These are just a few of the man y achievements in lens design that exemplif y Nikon’s posi-tion as the world’s preeminent manuf acturer of professional photographic equipment. Thefollowing offers in-depth technical information that will help you understand more f ull y thatNIKKOR lenses pro v ide superior performance and are thus the best match for y our Nikon SLR .

W here it all begins —Nikon glassw ork sTo make the finest lens ele-

ments, you must begin withthe finest optical glass. To

ensure this, Nikon does whatfew makers can — it manu-

factures the glass for nearly

all NIKKOR lenses in its ownglassworks. This means ourlens designers have over200 types of glass to choose

from, giving them an excep-

tional variety from which toselect just the right optical

glass for their requirements.

Moreover, when these

requirements demand lensproperties not yet available,

the glass technicians work to

find a solution — which often

results in engineering new

types of glass. This is pre-

cisely how Nikon developed

Extra-low Dispersion (ED)

glass in 1972 — to meetdesign demands for super-telephoto NIKKOR lenses.

Lens constructionThe peerless craftsmanship

of NIKKOR lens elementsis matched by the structuresthat house them. Onlythe best materials are

used for the mechanical

construction of each lens.

Fine metal alloys and

polycarbonates make up

the helicoids in some

lenses. Inner and outersleeves are tooled with

maximum precision, result-

ing in the smooth lensmovement that characterises

the NIKKOR lens. The lensmount, too, features similarmaterials.

Computers and lens designNikon designers employ the

latest computers and Nikon-

developed software to deter-

mine the optical design of

each lens. Using this datatogether with their accumu-

lated experience, they createthe finest SLR lenses avail-

able.

Computer-aided design

simulation is also used to

ensure the utmost precision

in the optical and mechanical

parts of each lens as well asthe quality of the lens assem-

bly process. In this way, com-

puters can identify problem-

atic areas thus leading to

improved overall lens design

and ensuring the superiorperformance of the finished

product.Electronics — microcomputerinno v ation for preciseperformance

The recent advances in thecomputer industry play an

integral role in the makeup

as well as design of NIKKOR

lenses. For in addition to

superior optics, each AF

NIKKOR features a built-in

microcomputer. This micro-

computer works with the

Nikon AF camera computersystem to provide information

that ensures fast autofocus,

Matrix exposure metering,

Balanced Fill-Flash, and otherNikon innovations in SLR per-

formance.

Only NIKKOR lenses are

designed for today's and

tomorrow’s Nikon SLR cam-

eras, based on information

and insight available exclu-

sively within Nikon — includ-ing autofocusing parameters.

No other lens maker can pro-

vide this type of assurance.

The Nikon F lens mount —a tradition of continuity and forw ard compatibility Th e debut of the original

Nikon F also marked the

introduction of what is per-

haps its most significanttechnological innovation —

the Nikon F len s mount.

Thi s legendary design

en su res that your Nikon

camera is compatible with

most NIKKOR lenses and

that your Nikon equipment

can accommodate future

system a dvances.

Moreover, the F mount

achieves something no otherdesign can — it is compati-ble with both types of lensdrive systems — the conven-

tional mechanical AF cou-

pling design for wideangle

and standard zooms, and

Nikon’s exclusive SWM

(Silent Wave Motor) system

featured in the mostadvanced supertelephoto

NIKKOR lenses. This is justone example why the Nikon F

mount continues to be an

integral part of Nikon camera

equipment design.

R eliability — lenses madeto w ithstand the toughestconditionsEach NIKKOR lens is manu-

factured to meet the most

stringent requirements in theindustry. The optical glass isscrutinised to assure it is free

of imperfections, whereupon

it is then remelted, cast,

ground, polished and hard-

coated to emerge as one of

the world’s finest lens ele-

ments. After being preciselymounted in lens barrels, the

lens elements and their

assemblies undergo a bat-tery of tests and inspections,

including vibration and tem-

perature-resistance analysis.

One of these tests concernsthe lens’ Optical TransferFunction (OTF), which evalu-

ates the resolving power and

contrast of the lens. To per-

form this test, Nikon devel-

oped the exclusive NikonOTF Analyser (NOA).

In addition to these

uncompromising tests, Nikon

technicians further guarantee

the performance of the final

product by going over everydetai l of every finished lens.

They check and assure the

mechanical construction,

electronics, AF movement,

zoom and aperture mecha-

nisms, and lens resolution.

All of which ensures that the

lens does what it’s supposed

to — provide the outstanding

optical performance and reli-

ability that make NIKKOR

lenses the pro’s choice the

world over.

ED glass —a n e ss ent i a l element

of NIKKOR t elepho t o lens e s

Nikon developed ED

(Extra-low Dispersion)

glass to enable the

production of lensesthat offer superiorsharpness and colour

correction by minimising chro-

matic aberration.

Put simply, chromatic aber-

ration is a type of image

and colour dispersion thatoccurs when light rays of vary-

ing wavelengths pass through

optical glass. In the past, cor-

recting this problem for tele-

photo lenses required special

optical elements that offeranomalous dispersion charac-

teristics — specifically calcium

fluoride crystals. However, fluo-

rite easily cracks and is sensi-

tive to temperature changesthat can adversely affect focus-

ing by altering the lens’ refrac-

tive index.

So Nikon designers and

engineers put their headstogether and came up with ED

glass, which offers all the bene-

fits, yet none of the drawbacksof calcium fluorite-based glass.

With this innovation, Nikon

developed several types of ED

glass suitablefor various lenses.They deliver stunning sharp-

ness and contrast even attheir largest apertures. In thisway, NIKKO R’s ED-serieslenses exemplify Nikon’s pre-

eminence in lens innovation

and performance.

Nikon SuperIntegrated Coating

ensur e s e x c ep t iona l pe r fo r m a nc e To enhance the performance

of its optical lens elements,

Nikon employs an exclusive

multilayer lens coating thathelps reduce ghost and flare

to a negligible level.

Nikon Super Integrated

Coating achieves a numberof objectives, including min-

imised reflection in the widerwavelength range and superior

colour balance and reproduc-

tion, even with Zoom-NIKKOR

lenses featuring a large num-

ber of elements. It is also effec-

tive in minimising ghost and

flare caused by internal reflec-

tions from theimage sensors of

Nikon digital SLRs.

Also, Nikon's multilayercoating process is tailored tothe design of each particularlens. The number of coatings

applied to each lens elementis carefully calculated to

match th e l ens type and

glass used, and also to

assure the uniform colour bal-

ance that characterisesNIKKOR lenses. This resultsin lenses that meet much

higher standards than therest of the industry.

Nano CrystalCoat

Nano Crystal Coat isan anti-reflective coat-ing that originated in the devel-

opment of NSR-series (Nikon

Step and Repeat) semicon-

ductor manufacturing devices.

It virtually eliminates internal

lens element reflections acrossa wide range of wavelengths,

and is particularly effective in

reducing ghost and flare pecu-

liar to ultra-wideangle lenses.

Nano Crystal Coat employsmultiple layers of Nikon’s out-standing extra-low refractive

index coating, which featuresultra-fine crystallized particles

of nano size (one nanometerequals one millionth of a mm).

Nikon now proudly marks a

world first by applying thiscoating technology to a wide

range of lenses for use in con-

sumer optical products.

Aspherical lenselements

Nikon introduced the firstphotographic lens with

aspherical lens elements in

1968. What sets them apart?

Aspherical lenses virtuallyeliminate the problem of

coma and other types of lensaberration — even when

used at the widest aperture.

They are particularly useful in

correcting the distortion in

wideangle lenses. In addition,

use of aspherical lenses con-

tributes to a lighter and small-er lens design.

Nikon employs three

types of aspherical lense l e m e n t s . P r e c i s i o n -ground aspherical lens

elements are the finest expres-

sion of lens-crafting art,

demanding extremely rigorousproduction standards. Hybridlenses are made of a special

plastic moulded onto optical

glass. Moulded glass aspher-

ical lenses are manufactured

by moulding a unique type of

optical glass using a special

metal die technique.

Close-RangeCorrection system

The Close-Range Correction

(CRC) system is one of

Nikon’s most important focus-

ing innovations, for it providessuperior picture quality atclose focusing distances and

increases the focusing range.

With CRC, the lens ele-

ments are configured in a

“floating element” design

wherein each lens group

moves independently to

achieve focusing. Thisensures superior lens per-

formance even when shoot-ing at close distances.

The CRC system is used

in fisheye, wideangle, Micro,

and selected medium tele-

photo NIKKOR lenses.

Internal Focusing(IF)

Imagine being able to focus a

lens without it changing in

size. Nikon’s IF technologyenables just that. All internal

optical movement is limited to

the interior of the nonextend-

ing lens barrel. This allows fora more compact, lightweightconstruction as well as a

closer focusing distance. In

addition, a smaller and lighterfocusing lens group isemployed to ensure fasterfocusing. The IF system isfeatured in most NIKKOR

telephoto and selected

NIKKOR zoom lenses.R ear Focusing(RF)

With Nikon’s Rear Focusing

(RF) system, all the lens ele-

ments are divided into specif-

ic lens groups, with only the

rear lens group moving forfocusing. This makes autofo-

cusing operation smootherand faster.

AF DC-NIKKOR lenses—u niq u e NIKKOR lens -

e s fo r u niq u e po rtr a i ts

AF DC-NIKKOR lenses featureexclusive Nikon Defocus-

image Control technology. Thisallows photographers to control

the degree of spherical aberra-

tion in the foreground or back-

ground by rotating the lens’ DC

ring. This will create a rounded

out-of-focus blur that is ideal forportrait photography. No otherlenses in the world offer thisspecial technique.

Distance information

D-type and G-type Nikkor

lenses relay subject-to-cam-era distance information to

AF Nikon camera bodies.

This then makes possible

advances like 3D MatrixMetering and 3D Multi-SensorBalanced Fill-Flash.

Note: D-type and G-type NIKKOR lensesprovide distance information to the follow-

ing cameras: Auto exposure; F6, F5, F100,F90X, F80, F75, F70, F65, F60, F55, F50,PRONEA S, PRONEA 600i, D3, D2 series,D1 series, D700, D300, D200, D100, D90,D80, D70S / D70, D60, D50 and D40X / D40.Flash control; F6, F5, F100, F90X,F80, F75,F70, D3, D2 series, D1 series, D700, D300,D200, D100, D90, D80, D70S / D70, D60,D50 and D40X / D40.

Silent Wa v e Motor

Nikon’s AF-S technology isyet another reason profes-

sional photographers like

NIKKOR telephoto lenses.

AF-S NIKKOR lenses featureNikon’s SWM which converts“travelling waves” into rotation-

al energy to focus the optics.

This enables smooth autofo-

cusing that’s extremely accu-

rate and super quiet.

M/ A mode

AF-S NIKKOR lenses feature

Nikon’s exclusive M / A mode,

that allows switching from aut-ofocus to manual operation

with virtually no time lag —

even during AF servo opera-

tion and regardless of AF

mode in use.

V ibration R eduction( VR )

This innovative VR system

minimises image blur caused

by camera shake, and offersthe equivalent of shooting ata shutter speed four or three

stops faster.*It allowsh a n d h e l d

shooting atdusk, atnight, and

even in poor-

ly lit interiors. The lens’ VR

system also detects automat-ically when the photographerpans — no special mode isrequired.

he newest addition toNikon’s world-classNIKKOR

lens lineup, the DX NIKKOR

series was developed inresponse to the demands ofprofessional and advancedamateur digital SLR users forhigher optical performance.The popularity of Nikon’s digitalSLRs has risen significantly,

and Nikon has answered withthe kind of innovation you’dexpect from a world leader inoptical technology.

Nikon created the DX

NIKKOR series to provideNikon DX-format digital SLR

owners with greater wideanglecovering power. Mounting a

35mm format 14mm widean-gle lens, for example, onto a

digital camera would result in a

picture angle equivalent to thatof a 21mm lens — negating thebenefit of wideangle coverage.DX NIKKOR, the first inter-changeable lenses designedspecifically for use withNikon DX-format digitalSLRs, give owners wideangle

shooting capability in a com-pact, lightweight package.

Nikon offers eleven DX

NIKKOR lenses—variousZoom-NIKKOR lenses andthe 10.5mm Fisheye—tocover a range of shooting situ-ations. In addition to lenses withpopular zoom ranges, the line-up includes newer zoom lens-es with telephoto ranges thatextend up to 200mm (equiva-

lent to 300mm in 35mm for-mat). The 18-200mm lensoffers an astonishing 11.1xzoom power.

Zoom-NIKKOR Lenses

ikon offers over a dozen AF

Zoom-NIKKOR lenses allof which are outstanding.

The information below willgive you a better idea ofwhich lenses are most suit-able for you.

The most obvious startingpoint when considering a zoomlens is focal length, for that willdetermine your range of usage.Need a great standard zoomfor the wideangle to mediumtelephoto range? For greaterwideangle coverage, the 14-24mm, 17-35mm and 18-35mm are favourites of land-scape photographers and oth-ers who need to shoot expan-sive scenes. Then there are themore powerful lenses like the70-300mm or 80-400mm.These are ideal for sports andaction photography, and fortaking shots of people from a

distance. And for truly high-power zoom needs, the 24-120mm lens offers 5x ratio. Notonly is this lens versatile, this iscompact as well.

The speed, or maximumaperture that a lens offers isanother crucial factor. There areseveral AF Zoom-NIKKOR

lenses in the wide, mediumand powerful telephotorange with a fast f /2.8 thatare sure to fit your demands.The AF-S 14-24mm, AF-S17-35mm, AF-S 24-70mmand AF-S VR 70-200mm areall perfectly suited for hand-

held shooting in dim light.

Macro focusing is anotherfeature that most AF Zoom-NIKKOR lenses offer. Thoselenses with the highestreproduction ratios are the24-85mm f/2.8-4D IF (1 /2),

and the VR 70-200mmf/2.8G IF-ED (1 /3.7).

Normal NIKKORLenses

ideangle NIKKOR lens-es are perfect for shoot-

ing in tight indoor areas or

when taking group shots.Travel, landscape, and com-mercial photography are justa few of the applicationssuited to these lenses. The14mm f/2.8D ED offers thewidest views.

For one of the mostunique perspectives in pho-tography, there’s the 16mmfisheye f/2.8D. Featur ingNikon’s unique Close-Range

Correction (CRC) system,the lens provides a 180˚angle of view with consistentpicture quality from all focus-ing distances.

Normal lenses are socalled because they providea 46˚ picture angle, for anangle of view that approxi-mates that of the humaneye. They are useful formany applications, from

landscapes to candid shots.Other advantages includewide maximum apertures.The 50mm f/1.4D isextremely fast, and the50mm f/1.8D is the mostcompact of all AF NIKKOR

lenses.

Other AF-S NIKKOR fea-tures include an innovativeM/A control that lets you

switch quickly from automaticto manual focusing modes,

ergonomically placed focuslock buttons, and a focusrange limiter that diminishesautofocusing time.

For exceptional portrait pho-tography, try the AF DC-NIKKOR lenses. They offerNikon’s exclusive Defocus-image Control which allowsyou to adjust the amount of

foreground or backgroundblur with a rotating ring. Nine-blade diaphragm built into thelenses creates a rounded out-of-focus blur that is ideal forportraits.

The maximum aper-

ture of the lens can determine howand in what lighting s ituations you can

shoot. Aperture value is indicated by f-

number which can be expressed in var-

ious ways: f / 8, F8 and 1 :8, for example,

all refer to the same effective aperture.

Lenses with large maximum apertures

(smaller f-numbers) are ‘fast’ lenses that

allow photographers to use faster shutterspeeds in dim light. This minimises the

need for a tripod or flash, allows greaterdepth-of-field control (see below) and

offers a brighter image through the lensfinder for easier focusing.

Lenses with smaller maximum aper-

tures (larger f-numbers) allow the use of

lower shutter speeds for available lightbut are also lighter and smaller than

faster lenses. Nikon offers some

NIKKOR lenses with equal focal

lengths, but different maximum aper-

tures to give you a variety from which to

choose.

This term refers to the

areas of the photograph — both in frontof and behind the main subject — thatare acceptably sharp. You can adjustdepth of field by adjusting the lensaperture. The smaller the aperture

(larger f-number) gives you a greater

depth of field. This means that shootingat larger apertures like f / 1.8 will make

the background appear blurred, while

using small apertures like f / 16 or f /22will result in a picture where much of the

scene is in sharp focus.

Focal length is also important, for thedepth of field decreases as the lens’

focal length increases. Thus, wideangle

lenses offer inherently more depth of

field along the entire focal length whiletelephoto lenses have less.

Choosing the right lens —some points to consider

Picture angle refers to the

view or image area the lens provides,

and different picture angles can dra-matically affect the way you view the

world through your lens.

Basically, it is the focal length of thelens that determines the picture angle

— the shorter the focal length, the wider

the picture angle and the smaller the

image size. A longer focal length

means a narrower picture angle andlarger image size. For example, a

50mm normal lens is so called because

it gives a 46˚ picture angle in 35mm(135) format for images that are about the

same size with that of the human eye.

Accordingly, wideangle lenses offerbroader views and are the favouritelenses of landscape photographers and

those who shoot in tight interior spaces.

Telephoto lenses pull in distant subjectsand scenes, for a narrower pictureangle that can provide dramatic close-

ups for many types of photography.

Perspective is a phenomenon

that is easier to understand by example

than explanation and is wholly deter-

mined by the camera-to-subject dis-

tance (see photos, above).

In short, perspective is the relative

size and depth of subjects w ithin a pic-

ture; that is, how far the foreground and

background appear to be separated

from each other. If foreground objectsappear much larger than those in the

background — which occu rs when

using wideangle lenses — this is calledexaggerated perspective.

Understanding the different perspec-

tives offered by different lenses will helpin choosing which lens to use to createcertain photographic effects.
