Manufacturer description

This standard high speed wideangle lens facilitates focusing and allows interior photography under adverse lighting conditions. Its 12-inch minimum focusing distance is twice as close as other Nikkor wideangle lenses. Spherical aberration, which can result from a large aperture, is minimized. Because of its moderate wide-angle coverage and great depth of field, it is a standard choice for landscapes, snapshots, architecture, etc.

Notes

  • This non-AI lens was designed for Nikon F, F2, Nikkormat FS, FT, FT2, FTN, EL, ELW 35mm film SLR cameras.
  • Non-AI lenses cannot be used on Nikon digital SLR cameras (except for the Df) or late (AI) film SLR cameras. However, non-AI lenses can be fitted to Nikon FM, FE, EL2, F3, F4 and Nikkormat FT3 cameras which used the AI metering system but allowed the metering coupling lever to be disengaged. The F5 could have this mechanism fitted as an optional extra. Non-AI lenses can be also fitted to the Nikon F2A and F2AS cameras because the AI mechanism was fitted to the removable metering prism.
