50mm f3.5 Micro-Nikkor-P Auto

Information on 50mm f3.5 Micro-Nikkor-P Auto

28-45 mm f/4.5 Zoom-Nikkor

Introduced in 1975. The 28-45mm f/4.5 Zoom-Nikkor represents a historic breakthrough even by Nikon standards. It was the first zoom lens in photography with that broke the focal length of 28mm, it offers infinite versatility in interior, landscape, travel, candid, and photojournalism applications where often there is not time to change even bayonet-mount lenses! Once focused sharply at any focal length, the 28-45mm retains optimal focus at every aperture and focal length –a welcome feature shared with all Zoom-Nikkors. Virtually distortion-free, the Zoom-Nikkor 28-45mm f/4.5 again confirms the Nikon position of leadership in SLR optics.

35-70mm f/3.5 Zoom-Nikkor

Another exciting addition to the Zoom-Nikkor lens lineup, the 35-70mm f/3.5 combines the wideangle, normal and medium telephoto capabilities in one unit to create a zoom lens that is equally at home in general photography, sports and press-journalism. Successfully overcoming distortion problems that once prevented the development of sharp zoom lenses covering the focal length of this range, this ZoomNikkor delivers sharp images that are quite competitive with those of fixed focal length lenses. The lens focuses down to 1 meter and accepts 72mm accessories.

43-86 mm Zoom-Nikkor

One of the smallest zoom lenses ever created . . . and one of the most versatile. The wider-than-normal to medium-telephoto focal length range offers obvious advantages in news, candid, sports, travel, and scenic photography; yet the 43-86mm Zoom-Nikkor is so pleasantly compact and lightweight that many photographers employ it as their 'normal' lens! As with all Nikkor Zooms, it retains sharp focus at every focal length. The single zoom/focus control allows split-second response and is particularly convenient for photography of moving subjects. So compact it accepts Nikon 52mm filters.

80-200mm Zoom-Nikkor

Universally acclaimed as one of the sharpest lenses ever created for 3smm photography. The 80-200mm Zoom-Nikkor is an enormously versatile lens offering the focal lengths from medium to full 4X telephoto. Once in focus, always in focus–at every focal length. Superbly responsive one-hand zoom/focus control for optimal handling speed and precision. The close focusing ability of this lens–to 1.8m (70.9") from the film plane–further extends its picturemaking capabilities. The compact 80-200mm ZoomNikkor accepts Nikon 52mm filters. Easy to hold and handle, this lens reaffirms the Nikon commitment to innovation without compromise in optical performance.

180 600mm f/8

200 600 mm f/9.5 Zoom-Nikkor

360 1200mm f/ 11 Zoom-Nikkor ED

These lenses are true telephoto zooms, covering the range from 180mm to 1200mm super telephoto. Blending the obvious advantages of the modern zoom lens with the powerful magnification of a whole series of ultra-telephoto lenses ... all in relatively compact, fast-handling optical systems. Despite their long maximum focal length, they have automatic diaphragm mechanisms (no meter coupling device is provided), and convenient single focusing/zooming rings insure extra handling speed. Both the 180-600mm and 3601200mm lenses feature Nikon ED glass for incredible contrast and color rendition. These zoom lenses are especially valuable in such extra-long distance shooting situations as outdoor sports events, wildlife photography and scientific research. With an accessory close-up attachment, the closest focusing distance of the 200-600mm lens–4m (13') –is reduced to 2.3m (7.5'), adding to the versatility of this zoom lens. Series 9 filters are used by placing them between the lens and the hood. A tripod socket is provided on the rotating collar, allowing it to be shifted quickly to either horizontal or vertical format. The 180-600mm and 360-1200mm focus to 2.5m (8.5') and 6m (20') respectively–incredibly close for ultra telephoto optics.

Nikkor Zoom Lenses

A comprehensive line of nine zoom lenses, spanning gap between 28mm wideangle and 1200mm super-telephoto, is another reason why the name "Nikkor" has become synonomous with quality and versatility in 35mm optics. It used to be true that a zoom lens couldn't match the picture quality of a comparable single-focal-length lens in the same range, but Nikon changed all that. With the introduction of their 80~200mm f/4.5 zoom in 1970, Nikon created a lens whose performance was so outstanding that even the photographic reviewers couldn't believe it. At almost every focal length, including 85, 105,135,180, and 200mm, the 80~200mm zoom produced resolution figures that virtually equalled its single-focal-length counterparts. Since then, Nikon has continued to develop zoom lenses which have challenged the imagination of the most sophisticated photographers around the world. Take the 28~45mm f/4.5, for example. It was the first high-performance zoom lens with a minimum focal length of 28mm ever produced by a camera manufacturer. And the 360~1200mm f/11 ED is still unsurpassed for its super-telephoto zoom range. Part of the appeal of a zoom lens is convenience. In one lens, it gives the photographer a variety of focal lengths without having to carry extra lenses. It also allows the photographer to change focal lengths quickly, and therefore change his coverage, without actually having to change lenses or positions. But probably the biggest attraction is its ability to create "zoom blurs." By zooming the lens during a slow shutter speed, the cameraman can impart a feeling of action to stationary subjects, and what this action does to a moving object can often be surprising and eye-catching.
