A tradition _

Nikkor lenses have helped chronicle many an event and re-

create many a moment in the history of our times. In the
process they have changed the shape and content of 35 mm
SLR photography, making history themselves, particularly
in the areas of zoom, fisheye and reflex lenses. Nikkor
lenses arm legions of photographers, both amateur and
professional, with tools that advance the art, craft and
science of taking pictures, as well as make life more inter-
esting and infinitely rewarding. With Nikon, inventive-
ness is a tradition. The more than 60 Nikkor lenses avail-
able today, and many of the newly designed, compact, light
and economical Nikon Series E lenses that take after them in

design philosophy, offer a wide array of innovations-

from Nikon Integrated Coating to "Internal Focusing. "
Quite a few use Nikon's unique "Extra-low Dispersion"
glass. All invariably are made of optical glass of
Nikon's own make. For Nikon is one of but a handful of
camera manufacturers in the world with the tech-
nology and resources to make their own optical
glass. To innovation, add reliability, quality and ver-
satility - hallmarks all of Nikon - and you have
the Nikkor story.

Always at the vanguard
Like the Nikon cameras for which they are created,
Nikkor lenses have a legendary quality that has
made both "Nikon" and "Nikkor" proud names in
35mm SLR photography. And the reason behind
this is no secret: since their introduction more than
three decades ago, Nikkor lenses have been at the
forefront of technological advances, constantly
defining and redefining the frontiers of optical
innovation. .

Close-Range Correction

Lenses generally function
best in medium subject-to-
camera distances or when
set to infinity. As you get

Normal Lenses
Like your eyes only
Lenses with a focal distance of around 50mm are
called "normal." This focal distance approximates
the length of the diagonal line across the film
frame area and offers the 43 0 picture angle
said to be most akin to human vision.
Images obtained with normal lenses look
"natural" -making them the most versatile
lenses for a wide variety of applications
indoors and outdoors.
With maximum apertures ranging from
f/l .2 to f/l .8, normal lenses offer high speed and produce

6
 E50mm f /1.8

a bright and easy-to-focus image in the viewfinder, thus

allowing available-light shooting for a variety of subjects.
Normal Nikkors come in three models with different
maximum f-stops. The 50mm f/1.2, the fastest , makes
pinpoint focusing easy, providing a bright viewfinder
image even where there's little light. With its moderate
speed, size and weight, the 50mm f/1.4 is the more
typical normal lens. The compact 50mm f/1 .8, weighing a
mere 220g, is useful for general photography, close-ups
and photo duplication. And for the budget-minded,
there 's the Nikon Series E 50mm fh.8.

Fisheye Lenses
. Other worlds, other images

With a picture angle of more

than 180°, fisheye lenses
allow you to distort the
scene on film intention-
ally, causing the other-
wise straight line at the
periphery of the image
field to form a curve that
becomes more remarkable
as you get closer to the
periphery. Originally devel-
oped for scientific use, fish-
eye lenses are now widely used to create dramatic
images for advertising and other commercial uses, as
well as for general photography. There are two types of
fisheye lenses-the Equidistant Projection type and the
Full-Frame Projection type. The Equidistant Projection
fisheye renders the image inside a round circle. The Fish-
eye-Nikkor 6mm f /2.8 and 8mm f/2 .8 are included in this
category. The 6mm f/2.8 has the widest picture angle of
220° among all Nikkor lenses ; the 8mm f /2.8 has a 180°
picture angle and is the more compact and lightweight of
the two. For fisheyes , both lenses have a large maximum
aperture of f /2.8. This makes them easy to focus; they
are especially useful in measuring zeniths and azimuths .
As for the Full-Frame Projection fisheye, it renders the
image on a full 35mm film format [24mm x 36mm). The
Fisheye -Nikkor 16mm f/2 .8 is this type. Although it has
the size and weight of a normal lens , it still gives you the
curving effect unique to fisheyes.

 Ultra-Wideangle Lenses
Wider than wide

Ultra-
wide-
angle
lenses
encompass
an enormous amount of space
while exaggerating the per-
spective of the picture. Ob-
jects up close look gigantic, and those
in the distance downright picayune.
Since you can exaggerate pictorial
perspective virtua11y to no end, dy-
namic, three-dimensional picture-
making becomes possible in archi-
tectural photography.
Ultra-Wideangle Nikkor lenses are
available in four models-the 13mm
f/5.6 which eliminates light fa110ff
and poor resolution in the edges of
the frame ; the 15mm f/3.5, which has
an immense depth of field; the lBmm
f/3.5 , which is the basic ultra-wide-
angle ; and the 20mm f/3.5 which
makes for a good introduction to the
ultra-wideangle view. Each lens, we11
corrected for distortion and other
aberrations, is capable of creating a
unique image. The 13mm f/5 .6, 15mm f/3.5 and lBmm f/3.5 employ Nikon's
unique Close-Range Correction (CRC] system to enhance performance
even in close-range shooting. The 20mm f/3.5 is compact and handy.

Wideangle Lenses
Encompass the scene

With its large picture angle and extra depth of field,

the wideangle lens is excellent for "grab shooting."
Nikon offers you a choice of eight wideangle Nikkor
and two Nikon Series E models that can encompass
the scene with focal lengths of from 24mm to 35mm.
The 24mm is available in two models, both with large
maximum apertures of f/2 and f/2.8, respectively,
which give them a decisive edge in available-light
shooting. The adoption of the eRe system ensures that image as close as O.3m
(1ft) come out sharp and clear. Four types of wideangle 28mm lenses are
available: f/2, f/2.8, Series E f/2.8, and f/3.5. The bright f/2 features the eRe
system for excellent results in close-range photography. The f/2.8 has the
shortest focusing distance of O.2m (O.7ft)-the shortest of all Nikkor lenses .
The eRe system is adopted as well. As for Series E f/2.8, it features Nikon's
unique Nrc. Next comes the moderate-speed f/3.5 which makes for an excep-
tionally light lens. Finally, we have the 35mm wideangles whose picture angle
matches the coverage of most electronic flash units. They provide the most
natural image among wideangle lenses. Four models are available. The f/l.4,
the fastest Nikkor wideangle, adopts the eRe system to ensure extraordinary
resolution and sharpness down to O.3m (1ft). The fast f/2 and f/2.8 both allow
shooting even in dim light. For moderate speed, you have the Series E f/2.5.
All are surprisingly compact and light.

 Medium Telephoto
Lenses
With medium telephotos, the "long-distance"
{i.e., teleJ effect does not appear pronounced at
all, and you have a more natural-looking per-
spective. With their shallow depth of field at
each f Istop, short telephotos provide that opti-
mum out-of-focus background effect so suited
for portraiture in genera1. Many a photog-
rapher considers them as the ideal lenses for head-and-shoulder
portraits.
There are five 85mm to 105mm medium telephoto Nikkors and
one 100mm Nikon Series E lens; the former include the very fast
fll,4 and the amazingly compact fl2 that's no bigger than a
normal lens. In addition, there's the AF-Nikkor 80mm. The 85mm
fll,4 is the fastest Nikkor telephoto and the first in the lineup to
feature the GRG system, ensuring high definition even at close dis-
tances. The selective focusing possible at maximum aperture
makes this lens very suitable for portraiture. As for the Series E
100mm fI2.8, it's very convenient for taking flattering portraits.
The 105mm fll.8 and fl2.5lenses are superb instruments for
creative portraiture and candid photography. The fll.8, the
fastest presently available in the 100 -105mm class, offers a com-
bination of shallow depth of field and almost natural perspective,
resulting in extraordinarily life-like portraits. As for the fI2.5,
professionals readily acclaim it as one of the finest lenses ever
made for 35mm photography.
The AF-Nikkor 80mm f12.8 offers automatic focus operation in
conjunction with the DX-l AF Finder-fully automatic with the
autofocus Nikon F3AF, electronically-aided with regular F3
cameras.

Telephoto Lenses
Pull the distant scene in

To achieve such typical telephoto

"effects " as distant subjects coming up
close or subject emphasis through a
blurred background, you need a tele-
photo lens 135 mm or longer. Shooting at
wide apertures, you can isolate the
subject by blurring out distracting or
unwanted background and/or fore-
ground. Another characteristics of the
telephoto lens is that it seems to
compress the space between objects,
producing the impression of a flattened perspective.
The 135mm telephoto is available in three Nikkor and one Series
E models. The f/2, one of the fastest te1ephotos available today,
offers a bright viewfinder image for pinpoint focusing. For its
foca11ength , the f/2.8 is very compact and light. The Series E f/2.8
is a popular choice for a "first telephoto." And the f/3.5 is
exceptionally small. All have built-in telescopic, click-stopped
lens hoods.
The 180mm f/2.8 ED uses Nikon's unique Extra-low Dispersion
(ED) glass for sharp, high-contrast images even at full aperture,
complete with superb color rendition.
Professional photographers consistently choose the faster 200mm
f/2 IF-ED for its excellent color reproduction. Focusing is quick
and accurate, making it a good choice for action and sports
photography even in dim light. On the other hand, the 200mm f/4
offers the type of superior optical performance that has made it
one of the most often used lenses of our time.
As for the 300mm lens, it is available in four types. The fastest
300mm on the market, the f/2 IF-ED, is the top choice of many
professional photographers. You can extend its foca11ength to
420mm (with a maximum aperture of f/2.8) by attaching the
dedicated TC-14C Te1econverter. The f/2.8 IF-ED, the second
fastest 300mm lens, is also one of the best choices of professionals.
The f/4 .5 IF-ED, exceptionally compact and light for a 300mm
lens, gives truly spectacular telephoto effects with a compressed
perspective and an extremely shallow depth of field. The 300mm
f /4.5 is a powerful telephoto in a portable package. Focusing with
the IF models is quick and accurate, making them suitable for
sports, news and nature photography.
There's another 200mm Nikkor, the AF-Nikkor 200mm f/3.5 IF-ED.
Automatic focus is available when it is mounted on a Nikon F3AF
with DX-1 AF Finder-e1ectronically-aided when the camera is
a regular F3.

Super-Telephoto Lenses
Get closer still

Telephoto lenses with a focal length

of 400mm and longer are called
super-telephoto lenses . Each one of
Nikon 's array of the finest super-
telephoto lenses adopts Nikon's IF
system for quick and easy focusing,
and ED glass for faithful color ren-
dition . Super-Telephoto Nikkor
lenses are available in eight models
from 400mm to 1200mm in focal length.
The 400mm f/3 .5 IF-ED, f/5.6 IF-ED; 600mm f/4 IF-ED,
f/5 .6 IF-ED; BOOmm f/B IF-ED and 1200mm f/ll IF-ED adopt

18
Nikon's IF system and use ED glass -resulting
in high performance super-telephotos with
surprisingly compact bodies. IF assures focusing
with minimal shift in gravity, thus facilitating
smooth and faster focusing to cope with
that precious moment of shutter release. ED, on the other
hand, means chromatic aberration has been virtually
eliminated. So you have a sharp image even at full aper-
ture. Each lens adopts a presettable ring that locks the
focusing ring once it is focused; this is especially conven-
ient for repeated shooting of the same subject.

their unusually short
lens barrels. They're
called "reflex" and,

lenses because they

I Reflex
use mirrors and lens elements whose optical paths are
made to bounce back and forth inside the lens barrel to
produce an extra-long focal length without resorting to
1000mm f i ll bulk or sheer physical length.
For their focal lengths (the shortest is 500mm), reflex
lenses are amazingly compact, light and easy to carry
around, making them firm favorites of newspaper, sports
and wildlife photographers. Chromatic aberrations are
kept minimal, and there's no need to compensate for
infrared focusing. The eminently portable 500mm and
1000mm are easy to carry around and prove convenient
for shooting wild life, sports, etc.; the 2000mm is ideal for
revealing very distant subjects in sharp detai1. All
three models can transform out-of-focus points of light
into unique doughnut-shaped blurs.

 Micro Lenses
For close-up specialists

Close-up work, including macrophotog-

raphy, is a very specialized type of
photography demanding the use of spe-
cial-purpose lenses such as the Micro-
Nikkor lenses. Nikon makes three
models: the 55mm f/2.8 which adopts
the CRC system, 105mm f/4, and 200mm f/4 IF. All three
are remarkable for their ability to focus ultra-close and
for superb image quality at all subject-to-camera
distances from macro to infinity. And they're versatile
enough to be widely used as "universal" lenses. Micro-
Nikkors offer continuous focusing from infinity to a
reproduction ratio of 1: 2. The use of an optional auto
extension ring or a teleconverter makes even closer
focusing possible-from 1: 2 to 1: 1 life-size.

Micro 55mm f/2.8

21
 Short Zoom Lenses
Optical "picture-trimming"

With its variable focal length, the zoom

lens enables you to frame your subject
any number of ways. Take the Zoom-
Nikkor 35 -70mm, for example. You can .
shoot the whole scene with a wide 35mm,
zoom in to the normal50mm and then go
up close to 70mm short telephoto to
choose that part of the image you really want to shoot.
Zoom-Nikkor lenses in the short zoom range are available in three
types-the 25 -50mm, 35 -70mm and the new 35 -105mm. Plus
there's the Series E 36 -72mm Zoom.
The Zoom-Nikkor 25 -50mm f/4 is a handy lens with a coverage
of from 25mm wideangle to the 50mm normal-especially con-
venient for candid, travel, landscape and general photography.
Correction of aberrations is excellent, and sharp images are
assured at every focal length.
The Zoom-Nikkor 35 -70mm f/3.5 offers a very short focusing
distance of O.7mm (2 .5ft], With the use of a macro mechanism (at
the focal length of 70mm with the zooming ring locked), you can
get closer still to O.35m (1.2ft), a distance that makes rendering at
a 1:4 life-size reproduction ratio possible.
Genuinely versatile, the Series E 36 -72mm f/3.5 Zoom delivers
wideangle-to -short-telephoto coverage.
As for the new Zoom-Nikkor 35 -
105mm f/3 .5 -4.5, you can focus from
l.4m (5ft) to infinity; a separate
macro ring operates over the 35 -
105mm focal length range, for focus-
ing as close as O.27m (O.9ft).

 Telephoto Zoom Lenses
Zooming power

Nikkor telephoto zoom lenses are available in

seven types from 50 -135mm to 360 -1200mm in
focal length . Nikon Series E lenses , on the other
hand, come in two types-a 75 -150mm and a
70 - 21Omm. Providing the shooting flexibility of
a bagful of short and medium telephotos, the
Series E 75 -150mm f/3 .5 offers fine image
quality and color rendition. With a full 3X zoom
ratio, the Series E 70 - 210mm f/4 .5 covers most
of commonly used telephoto focal lengths.
Dramatic close-ups, down to 0.56m [2ft], are another possibility thanks to the macro func-
tion. The Zoom-Nikkor 50 -135mm f/3.5 offers a coverage of from the normal picture angle
of 46° to a head-and-shoulders one of 18°; macro focusing is also possible [at the 50mm
focal length setting). The Zoom-Nikkor 80 - 200mm f/4 succeeds Nikon's legendary Zoom-
Nikkor 80 - 200mm f /4.5; the 80 - 200mm f/2 .8 ED is the fastest telephoto zoom lens in the
world today, offering a brighter viewfinder image even in dim light. Their convenient single
focusing/zooming ring assures quick response to fast-action photography. The Zoom-Nikkor
50 - 300mm f/4.5 ED is a high-power zoom lens with a 6X zooming ratio, the largest among
Nikkor lenses. ED glass is used to keep chromatic aberrations to a minimum. Focusing and
zooming are via separate rings.
The Zoom-Nikkor 200 - 400 mm f /4 ED is a high speed supertelephoto zoom lens that
provides exceedingly bright viewfinder images. Both the Zoom-Nikkor 180 - 600mm f/8ED and
360 -1200mmf/ll ED also use ED glass for great contrast and natural color rendition.
All three lenses have automatic diaphragms that enable full-aperture metering; conveniently,
each lens has a single focusing/zooming ring that assures extra handling speed.

 PC Lenses
All-around image control

As you can surmise, PC stands for perspective control.

You can shift the lens barrel of a PC-Nikkor lens up to
11mm off-axis and rotate it a full 360°. This gives you
truly full image control. The PC-Nikkor 28mm f/3 .5 and
PC-Nikkor 35mm f/2 .8 are convenient for correcting the
distortion caused by horizontal and vertical lines in archi-
tectural and interior photography, or for avoiding the
obstacles in front of your subject.

Night Lens
Night eyes
Designed for shooting at night or in very dim light, Nikon's unique, very bright
Noct-Nikkor 58mm f/1.2 employs an asphericallens surface to enable coma cor-
rection at full aperture. This means that those bright lights scattered over a dark
background tha t you usually get with regular lenses will turn out crisp and
natural with the Noct-Nikkor even when you set it at full aperture. The lens
features outstanding aberration
correction, enabling you to obtain
sharp, high-contrast images at night
or when there's very little light.

Medical Lens
For very special applications

Medica1120mm fl4 IF

The Medical-Nikkor l20mm f/4 IF is a professional close-

up lens with a built-in ringlight. It is widely used in appli-
cations ranging from medical photography to general
close-ups. By itself, this lens provides continuously vari-
able reproduction ratios from l/llX to lX; used in con-
junction with a single 2X close-up attachment lens, the
ratios are also continuously variable from O.BX to 2X. You
can superimpose the reproduction ratio in use on film .
Also, optimum exposure becomes automatic because the
aperture is set automatically according to the shooting
distance, with flash output itself being determined by the
film speed set. This has been made possible through the
incorporation into the lens of a "Guide Number system ".

Teleconverters
The more, the merrier
Nikon teleconverters are a wonderful way of doubling the
focal length of a lens without any loss in picture quality.
They are made to the same exacting standards used in
the design and manufacturer of Nikkor lenses.
The TC-20l and TC-30l double focal lengths; the TC-14A
and TC-14B multiply the focal length by 1.4X.
