A history of exceptional performance —
NIKKOR lenses
N
ikon began producing lenses under the NIKKOR name in 1933, and since then more
than 40 million lenses have been sold worldwide. Throughout the years, our unwaver-
ing commitment to quality and innovation has yielded many breakthroughs in the photo-
graphic industry. For example, Nikon introduced the Nikkor Auto 24mm f/2.8 incorpo-
rating Nikon-pioneered Close-Range Correction (CRC) system in 1967, and started
production of aspherical lenses in 1968. In addition, Nikon developed ED (Extra-low
Dispersion) glass which made its first appearance in the 300mm f/2.8 ED Nikkor tele-
photo in 1972, and is now incorporated in many other NIKKOR lenses. And in 2003,
Nikon produced the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED, as the first lens
optimised for Nikon DX-format digital SLRs in the new DX NIKKOR series.
These are just a few of the many achievements in lens design that exemplify Nikon's posi-
tion as the world's preeminent manufacturer of professional photographic equipment. The
following offers in-depth technical information that will help you understand more fully that
NIKKOR lenses provide superior performance and are thus the best match for your Nikon SLR.
Where it all begins —

ensure this, Nikon does what
few makers can — it manu-
factures the glass for nearly

glassworks. This means our
lens designers have over
200 types of glass to choose
from, giving them an excep-
tional variety from which to
select just the right optical
glass for their requirements.
Moreover, when these
requirements demand lens

find a solution — which often
