List of Nikon lenses with an F mount

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following overview contains camera lenses from the Japanese manufacturer Nikon with an F-bayonet .

The compact AI-Nikkor 85mm / 2.0 came on the market in 1977 and was built until 1995. The AIs type shown can u. a. by the small orange-colored f-number 22 on the front of the aperture ring.

The manufacturer calls its lenses "Nikkor" and uses various abbreviations in its products, such as: B. for the lens AF-S 18-70 mm f / 3.5-4.5G DX ED IF . These should help the buyer to read the various individual features from the product name. Some of these abbreviations are listed below with a brief explanation.

Manual lenses

The manually focused Nikkor lenses are divided into two generations: Without Ai before 1977 and with Ai from 1977.

Without Ai

A distinction is made between three generations of lenses without Ai:

  • A - (car) chrome filter ring with simple coating. Early versions were called Nippon Kogaku Japan and indicated the focal length in cm , later they switched to Nikon and indicated the focal length in mm . They also have a code for the number of their optical elements (see below).
  • C - black filter ring with multiple coating . These have an additional "· C" in the designation, e.g. Nikkor-HC.
  • K - Focus ring with rubber armouring and black finish of the depth of field indicator.

The aperture information for the non-Ai types is transferred to a slide on the camera by means of a metal attachment on the aperture ring, the so-called Nikon fork ("rabbit ears"). The professional cameras from this time were the Nikon F and Nikon F2 with the first photomic viewfinders. The Nikkormat models were in the cheaper price range .

These lenses are often also called Pre-Ai or Non-Ai, but these are not terms used by Nikon.

Non-Ai lenses have to be converted for use on most newer Nikon cameras, but then remain backwards compatible. In return, Ai and Ai-S lenses still have the Nikon fork, although this was no longer needed, so they remain fully compatible with the older cameras of the pre-Ai era.

Ai

Nikon F2SB with lens GN Auto Nikkor 2.8 f = 45mm Ai
  • Ai - Automatic Maximum Aperture Indexing (or N-Type) from 1977. The Ai control transmits the light intensity of the lens to the camera's light meter. The aperture information is transmitted via a cam on the rear of the aperture ring of the lens, which can move a slide on the camera.
  • Ai-S - Aperture Indexing Shutter System (for automatic iris ). The aperture of the lens can be controlled by the automatic exposure of the camera. This was introduced in 1982 with the Nikon F-301 and Nikon FA models. Almost all Ai lenses were subsequently built as Ai-S lenses, which also represented the last generation of Nikon's manual lens range (end of production 2006). All AF lenses up to the introduction of the "G" characteristic (see below) are also of the Ai-S type. The ZF series lenses from Carl Zeiss are Ai-S types.
  • Ai-P - Like Ai-S Nikkor, but control via a CPU built into the lens (as with the AF lenses). There were only a few lenses of this type (45mm f / 2.8 P, 500mm f / 4 P and 1200-1700mm f / 5.6-8 P). The SLII lenses offered by Cosina under the Voigtländer brand name from 2006 and the ZF.2 lenses from Carl Zeiss also correspond to this type. (1988)
  • Series E - Inexpensive manual lenses that introduced the use of plastic to production. Technically they correspond to the Ai-S type, but no longer have a “Nikon fork” for the older Nikkormat models and Photomic viewfinders. (1979)

Autofocus lenses

Nikkor AF Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm f-2.8D ED (slide zoom)
AF-S DX Nikkor 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G ED VR
  • F3AF - Nikon's first autofocus system , introduced with the Nikon F3 AF (1983–1986). There were two F3AF lenses, the AF-Nikkor 80mm f2.8 and the AF-Nikkor 200mm f3.5. There was also the TC-16 teleconverter, which made it possible to equip manually focused lenses with a limited autofocus. They have a focusing motor built into the lens and can therefore be considered the forerunners of the AF-I and AF-S lenses. Otherwise they largely correspond to the Ai-S type. Aside from the F3AF, Nikon F-501, and F4 , they are not compatible with modern AF cameras.
  • AF - autofocus. The AF Nikkor lenses were introduced in 1986 with the Nikon F-501 (1986-present). The focusing mechanism is driven by an electric motor in the camera's housing, which is connected to the lens via a mechanical coupling, similar to a slotted screwdriver. The professional camera of this generation was the F4. Until 1988, the AF lenses had a rather narrow focus ring. The models after that have the additional designation N. In the case of digital camera housings that do not have a mechanical drive for the autofocus control on the F bayonet , the AF lenses can only be focused manually . This applies, for example, to some inexpensive cameras (D40, D40X, D60, D3000 series and D5000 series) that rely on lenses with a focus motor (AF-I or AF-S) for the AF function.
  • AF-I - Autofocus Integrated coreless motor, integrated "coreless" motor (1992–1996). In order to enable fast focusing with the super telephoto lenses with their heavy lens groups, the focusing motor was placed back in the lens. AF-I was only used with a few super telephoto lenses (300 mm f / 2.8, 400 mm f / 2.8, 500 mm f / 4 and 600 mm f / 4). All AF-I lenses have the distance function, so they are of type D (see below).
  • AF-S - Autofocus "Silent Wave" motor (SWM). Uses an ultrasonic motor to focus quieter and faster; similar to the Canon USM, ( UltraSonic Motor ). All AF-S lenses have the distance function, so they are of type D (see below). AF-S was introduced in 1996 and is now the common AF technology of all newer lenses. In terms of control and compatibility, AF-I and AF-S lenses are identical.
  • AF-P - Autofocus "Pulse" motor. Uses a stepper motor that focuses quickly and almost silently, which is advantageous when filming and ensures smoother transitions. AF-P was introduced in 2016. Simple AF-P lenses no longer have a switch for AF / M switching or VR, switching takes place in the camera menu. As a result, AF and VR cannot be switched off on older cameras without this menu item. AF-P lenses no longer have mechanical focusing elements, which is why the lens on cameras that do not support AF-P can no longer be focused manually.

DX recording format (DSLR)

  • DX - lenses specially designed for the digital sensors in Nikon DX format (2003). The image circle is reduced, which enables more compact and cheaper lenses. The diagonal of the DX format is 1.5 times smaller than that of the 35mm format, which Nikon alsocalls the FX format. When using DX lenses on 35 mm (or FX ) cameras, strong vignetting can occur, the corners are not illuminated and remain dark. Digital FX cameras (from Nikon D3 / D700) recognize Nikon DX lenses. You can then automatically switch to a reduced recording format, although only part of the image sensor is used and the resolution of the images is reduced to just under half the number of pixels. The automatic can be switched off.

IX Nikkor (APS)

  • IX Nikkores were specially designed for use with the Pronea 600i and Pronea S SLR cameras of the Advanced Photo System (1996). At 30.2 mm × 16.7 mm, this film format is significantly smaller than the 35 mm format. The IX Nikkor are designed for this smaller format. They also use the possibilities of the smaller mirror and protrude further into the camera than Nikkor lenses for small pictures. This means that they cannot be used on all other cameras with an F bayonet, as this can damage the mirror. This also applies to the DX format digital SLR cameras, although these are designed for an even smaller format. On the other hand, Nikkor cameras for 35mm format can also be used on the Pronea cameras.

Optics and mechanics

  • ASP, Aspherical - The lens contains at least one aspherical lens .
  • Auto - Term for pre-AI lenses with an automatic spring diaphragm, which was an enormous technical advance at the time. The name was discontinued with the introduction of the K-Nikkor.
  • C - multi-coating. Multiple coating , appears as “· C” in the name of pre-Ai lenses.
  • CPU - The lens contains a CPU for digital communication with the camera. All AF and Ai-P lenses contain a CPU. Many Nikon cameras, especially in the amateur sector, require the CPU for exposure measurement. Appears only in specifications, not in lens names.
  • CRC - Close Range Correction. Improved optical performance at close focus settings. Appears only in specifications, not in lens names.
  • D - Distance. The lens transmits the distance data between the camera and the object to the exposure meter in the camera in order to enable better exposure and flash exposure metering. Only works with newer cameras that have 3D matrix measurement and / or RGB measurement. The D-Nikkor was introduced in 1992 with the Nikon F90 . Most of the type D Nikkor lenses were AF lenses, so the designation AF-D is common to distinguish these lenses from older versions of the same lens without a distance function. There are also manual D-type Nikkor lenses such as the PC 85 mm 1: 2.8D. G and E Nikkor lenses also transmit the distance information to the camera without having to be explicitly marked with a 'D'.
  • E - Electronic Diaphragm, electromagnetic aperture. The shutter is no longer closed mechanically by the camera, but is controlled electronically by the camera. The advantages are consistently exposed series exposures, the elimination of complex mechanics in super telephoto lenses and open aperture work with PC (tilt / shift) lenses, where mechanical control of the aperture is structurally not possible. When connecting up -to- date tilt-and-shift lenses , cameras from the D300 can use automatic program, aperture and time control and electronic aperture control. PC-E xxx D lenses also have an aperture ring and a dimming button so that they can be used on older cameras with restrictions. Newer PC xxx E lenses no longer have these two features. The E-characteristics of lenses should not be confused with the E-Series.
  • ED - Extra-low dispersion glass. Reduces chromatic aberration . So-called "Super ED" glass is also used in some lenses.
  • FL - fluorite lenses . Enable a weight-reduced construction of large glass elements with very good optical properties at the same time.
  • Fluorine Coating - A fluorine coating ensures a particularly dirt, dust and water-repellent surface of the lenses. Appears only in specifications, not in lens names.
  • G - "Genesis". The lens no longer has an aperture ring, which means that the f-number is controlled either automatically or via a control wheel on the camera. G-Nikkor has been around since 2000. These only work completely with newer cameras (see the overview table ). Just like the D-Nikkor, all G-Nikkor transfer the distance data between the camera and the object.
  • IF - Internal Focussing (internal focusing ), that is, when focusing is an internal lens moves, so the length of the lens that does not change.
  • N - Nano Crystal Coat. A special remuneration to avoid interfering images and light reflections. Lenses with a nano crystal coat have a special hexagon logo with an N.
  • HRI - High Refractive Index. The lens contains lenses with a refractive index greater than 2. Only appears in specifications, not in lens names.
  • NIC, SIC - Nikon Integrated Coating, Super Integrated Coating. Indicates special, proprietary remuneration for the lenses. Appears only in specifications, not in lens names.
  • PF - Fresnel phase. The objective contains a Fresnel phase lens, a further development of the Fresnel zone plate for weight reduction and for utilizing diffraction effects to reduce chromatic aberration.
  • RF - Rear Focussing, similar to IF, only the rear element on the camera side is moved for focusing.
  • T, Q, P, H, S, O, N, UD, QD, PD - With pre-AI lenses, these designations were used directly before or after the designation "Nikkor", for example "Nikkor-P", and stood for the number of optical elements in the lens. They are abbreviations for the Latin or ancient Greek numbers Tres (3), Quatour (4), Pente (5), Hex (6), Septem (7), Octo (8), Novem (9), UnoDecem (11), QuatourDecem (14) and PenteDecem (15).
  • VR - Vibration Reduction, the lens has an image stabilization (2000). VR lenses compensate for the movements caused by the triggering of the mirror and by the photographer in order to produce a sharp image. There are 3 generations of this technology that Nikon claims to extend the possible exposure times by 3, 4 or 5 exposure levels. If one assumes, for example, that a certain shot would still be sharp at 1/500 of a second without VR, the different VR generations would still be comparably sharp with exposure times of 1/60 second, 1/30 second and 1/15 second. Which generation of VR is built into a lens can only be found out from the manufacturer's specification or the manual. An "II" in the lens designation only means that it is the second version of a lens with otherwise the same name. Nikon now publishes image stabilization performance values ​​based on the CIPA standard.
  • Zoom - zoom lens . Variable focal length lenses are referred to by Nikon as Zoom Nikkor. The car NIKKOR Telephoto-Zoom 8.5-25cm f / 4-4.5 was the world's first commercially available telephoto zoom in 1959.

Special lenses

Of the lenses listed below, only DC, fisheye, micro and PC-E Nikkor lenses are currently being built.

  • Bellows - "bellows device". The Bellows Nikkor lenses are designed exclusively for use with bellows devices and have no focusing mechanism, no distance scale and no automatic aperture coupling. On the Nikon bellows devices, they can be focused from infinity up to an image scale of 1.3 ×. (1969)
  • CRT / Oscilloscope - CRT or oscilloscope . Special lens for industrial applications, e.g. as CRT Nikkor 58mm f1.0 with F-bayonet.
  • DC - Defocus Image Control. Allows you to influence the spherical aberration . A separately movable lens group in the front part of the lens allows the appearance of bokeh to be optimized in a rather subtle way , either by influencing the foreground (position F) or the background blur (position R). An exaggerated setting of the DC control tends to produce a soft focus effect, although the lens is not actually a soft focus lens . Available as AF DC-Nikkor 105mm f / 2 and 135mm f / 2. (1990)
  • Fisheye - fisheye lens . Optical design introduced into the photographic sector by Nikon in 1962 with extremely wide-angle characteristics and a strongly barrel-shaped image. Early fisheye lenses often required the mirror to be ascertained in the upright position, as their construction protruded far into the camera's mirror box.
  • GN - Guide Number, guide number . Supports correct exposure for flash photography without automatic flash metering. The guide number of the flash used is set on a scale and, based on this, the lens couples the setting of the aperture to the distance setting of the focus in order to achieve the most correct exposure possible. There was only one GN lens, the GN Auto Nikkor 45mm f / 2.8. (1969)
  • Medical - The lenses are corrected for close-ups and have a built-in flash ring that allows largely shadow-free images during operations and the like. Ä. Enables. (1962)
  • Micro - The lens is suitable for macro photography . Manual micro-Nikkor lenses go up to a reproduction ratio of 1: 2, while the newer Micro-Nikkor lenses with autofocus focus up to 1: 1 without intermediate rings. (1961)
24 mm Nikkor PC-E 1: 3.5 D ED
  • Noct - "Nocturne", something like "nocturnal art". Particularly bright special lens that was developed to have its optimal sharpness even with an open aperture. The name was only used on the Noct-Nikkor 58mm f / 1.2. (1977)
  • OP - Orthographic Projection. Fisheye lenses with special orthographic projection . (1968)
  • PC - Perspective Control. Nikon's name for shift lenses and tilt-and-shift lenses . (1962)
  • Reflex - mirror objective . Using mirrors, similar to a mirror telescope , enables a very long focal length with a compact design. As a matter of principle, these lenses have no possibility of adjusting the aperture. See also Reflex-Nikkor 500mm f8 .
  • Ultra Micro - high resolution lenses for industrial applications. (1962)
  • UV - These lenses can capture ultra-violet light. (1965)
