Nikkor lenses
As the brand name for Nikon lenses, Nikkor has become synonymous with high-performance, high-quality SLR lenses. The Nikkor name comes from adding "R" - a common practice in the naming of photographic lenses at the time the name was established - to "Nikko", the Romanized abbreviation for Nippon Kogaku K.K. In 1933, the large-format lens for aerial photography was released with the name Aero Nikkor. The current line-up of more than 60 Nikkor lenses for Nikon SLR cameras offers a rich variety of lenses, including fisheye lenses, super wide-angle to super telephoto lenses, micro lenses and PC-E lenses. |
