The Micro-Nikkor 55mm f2.8 has been built and sold by Nikon and Nikkor since 1979.

It is one of the Ai-S lenses with an F bayonet connection.

The 55 / 2.8 is a further development of the 55 / 3.5. With the lens you can achieve a list of figures of 1: 2 or 1: 1 with an intermediate ring. The lens has a close focus limit of 25 cm.

The lens delivers professional quality images. It is valued by photographers for its low vignetting and almost non-measurable distortion.

The predecessor a 55 / 3.5 was optimized for the macro area. With the new development for the 55 / 2.8, Nikon also developed a different focusing technology. It was the first Nikon lens with CRC ("Close Range Correction"). One of the built-in lenses is not simply pushed back and forth, but some lenses are shifted in a defined manner. This high mechanical effort ( helicoid mechanism) has paid off in that it delivers excellent performance over the entire distance range.
