bayonet hoods cannot be used).
n Macro Adapter Ring BR-2A/BR-5
Mounted to the lens in reverse, this extension ring can be
attached directly or using the Bellows Focusing Attachment.
When shooting in a reproduction ratio larger than 1x, even better
lens performance is realized by attaching the ring to the lens in

front attachment and the
BR-5 (with BR-2A together)
with lenses having 62 mmsized front attachment.
Filters/holders
n Neutral Color NC Filter
Ideal as a lens protector, this filter does not affect the color
balance (visible light spectrum) of your lens. Its multilayer
coating prevents light reflection inside the glass.
n Soft Focus Filter
Give your images a moderately soft and beautiful blur effect.
Good for various shooting situations, such as portraiture.
n Circular Polarizing Filter II
By dramatically reducing the reflective qualities, polarizing filters
allow direct shooting through glass or into bodies of water, and
enable better capture of other non-metallic objects that reflect
light. Polarizing filters also cut the reflective light of vapor and
minute dust in the air, so blue skies can be rendered even bluer.
The follo wing lens es cannot b e used :

BR-5BR-3BR-2APK-11 A PK-12PK-1 3
n Slip-in Circular Polarizing Filter
Designed for use with telephoto lenses equipped with a slip-in
filter holder, this filter reduces reflected light and draws out
more clarity and color while decreasing the effect of sunlight
reflection from airborne water vapor and dust. Also, polarizing
filters darken the blue in skies without affecting the contrast,
further emphasizing your subject. When shooting in color, the
filter eliminates color casting caused by reflected light.
Hoods
Lens hoods reduce stray light that can degrade your image
quality while minimizing ghost and flare effects. They can also
be used as lens protectors. For every type of NIKKOR lens,
there is a lens hood available. They are
classified according to the attachment
methods and materials: HB (bayonet),
HN (screw-in), HK (slip-on), HS
(snap -on) and HR (rubber type).

NIKKOR TECHNOLOGY
Known for its reliability, clarity and devotion to the needs of passionate photographers, NIKKOR, Nikon’s exclusive lens brand, is on a quest
to create the finest optics in the world. By adhering to the strictest requirements and testing both in the lab and across a wide range of
actual shooting situations, Nikon creates technologies that make NIKKOR lenses the best choice for any type of still or moving imagery.
VR (Vibration Reduction): Correct blur while retaining a stable viewfinder image
NIKKOR’s Vibration Reduction system helps you achieve sharper,
steadier shots by compensating for camera shake when
shooting telephoto subjects, dimly lit scenes and other handheld
situations – including D-movie shooting. Camera shake
information is detected by the VR sensor of the VR lens unit,
which is continually in motion inside the lens, aligning the optical
axis with your camera’s imaging sensor, thereby reducing image
blur and providing the equivalent of shooting at shutter speeds
up to three (with VR) or four (with VRII) stops faster.*
* Depending on the situation and photographer
l In-lens blur correction for clearer finder image and
dual algorithm
Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) function is built into the lens.
Unlike with in-camera systems, your camera’s sensor does not
move with VR, thereby giving you a steadier view through the
viewfinder and eliminating the blur you would see in the image
itself. A clear view makes it easier to confirm your composition
and place your focus point accurately.
Looking through a fully blur-corrected viewfinder for long periods
of time may cause feelings similar to motion sickness in some
photographers. To prevent this, Nikon developed an exclusive
algorithm utilized when the shutter release button is halfpressed. This first algorithm controls the blur correction at a
slightly lower level than usual. When the shutter release button is
fully pressed, a second algorithm engages to maximize camera
shake compensation during exposure for clear images.
l Panning Detection for moving subjects
Sometimes the movement of a subject needs to be
emphasized. To make the most of this effect, Nikon employs a
Panning Detection function, which senses camera movement
and automatically controls blur-correction. So for example, when
panning horizontally, only vertical blur is corrected.

l Active mode for shooting from a moving vehicle
In Normal mode, Nikon’s VR function interprets both slow and
broad camera movement as if the photographer is recomposing
and then adjusts for blur-correction accordingly. However, when
shooting from a moving vehicle or other unstable position, the
lens can sometimes misinterpret camera movement or a
photographer’s intentions. In this case, choose Active mode* for
further compensation, a more stable viewfinder image and even
steadier shots.
* Active m ode is emp loyed in sel ect VR lenses.
l Optimization in every lens
Consider, for example, the special situation of using a micro
lens to shoot extreme close-ups of a flower where the
photographer is in a crouching position. This shooting scenario
deserves its own VR parameters, so Nikon conducted over
10,000 shooting tests to refine unique algorithms for each VR
lens type. Yet another reason why the vibration reduction
system is built inside the lens.
VR on
AF-S NIKKOR lens with SWM for quiet autofocus
Nikon’s original Silent Wave Motor (SWM)
converts “traveling waves” into rotational
energy to drive the optics used for
focusing. The two SWM lens types – ring
type and compact type – are specifically
chosen to match each lens’s specs and
design. Any AF-S NIKKOR lens featuring
these SWMs delivers extremely smooth,
quiet and comfortable auto focusing for
both general shooting as well as extreme
situations, such as sports and wildlife.

Nano Crystal Coat minimizes ghost and flare
effects to provide clear images
Originating from Nikon’s work in semiconductor
manufacturing technology, NIKKOR’s Nano
Crystal Coat is an antireflective coating that
employs an extra-low refractive index coating
featuring ultra-fine, nano-sized* crystal
particles. These crystallized particles eliminate
reflections inside the lens throughout the
spectrum of visible light waves (380 to 780 nm)
in ways that far exceed the limits of
conventional antireflection coating systems.
Nano Crystal Coat not only solves ghost effects
caused by red light, which was incredibly
difficult for previous systems. It also effectively
reduces ghost and flare effects caused by
light entering the lens diagonally. The
result: clearer images.

ED glass effectively reduces chromatic aberration
at high magnification
Aspherical lens for effective aberration correction
Nikon was the world’s first camera maker
to develop ED (Extra-low Dispersion)
glass that could minimize prism-caused
color dispersion. This low-dispersion ED
glass also offers anomalous dispersion
characteristics like calcium fluoride
crystals, which consequently minimize
Secondary
spectrum

the secondary spectrum. For lenses
using normal optical glass, the longer the
focal length, the more difficult to correct
ED glass
Secondary
spectrum
the chromatic aberration that causes
color fringing. Nikon's ED glass, which
effectively compensates for this kind of
chromatic aberration, is employed in a
wide range of NIKKOR telephoto lenses for superior
reproduction. Nikon has also developed Super ED glass to
minimize aberration even further. Look for Super ED glass in the
AF-S VR Nikkor 200mm f/2G IF-ED.
M/A mode for quick switching from AF to MF
Simply by rotating a focus ring, M/A mode allows you to switch
from autofocus to manual with virtually no time lag. This makes it
possible to seamlessly switch to fine manual focusing while
looking through the viewfinder.
A-M mode switch/ring/lever
This type of lens utilizes non-spherical surfaces on either one or
both sides of the glass in order to eliminate certain types of lens
aberration. These aspherical elements are particularly useful for
correcting the distortion in wide-angle lenses. Such distortions
are caused by variations in the magnification of the image,
depending on its distance from the optical axis. Aspherical lens
elements correct these distortions by continuously changing the
refractive index from the center of the lens.
Since the 1960s, Nikon engineers have established design
theories and lens-processing techniques to refine the
aspherical lens. In 1968, the OP Fisheye-Nikkor 10mm f/5.6
became the first interchangeable SLR lens incorporating
aspherical lens elements. Since then, aspherical lenses have
been an important part of the NIKKOR lens family, with every
new addition to the lineup providing a new level of contrast,
resolution and compact design.
A/M (auto-priority manual) mode
This mode also enables an easy transition
from autofocus to manual during AF
operation. However, mode switch sensitivity
has been altered to reduce the possibility of
sudden unintentional switching to manual
focus while shooting.
Thanks to a mechanism incorporated in the lens barrel, smooth
focusing operation in Manual focus mode is realized in the
same way as users have become accustomed to with
conventional manual-focus lenses by adding an appropriate
torque to the focus ring.
n Nikon Super Integrated Coating
Nikon’s exclusive multilayer lens coating achieves
high transmittance in a wider wavelength range.
Even for zoom lenses with a large number of glass
elements, this coating system effectively reduces
the ghost and flare effects that are likely to occur in
backlit situations, helping you achieve high-contrast
images with rich gradation. With outstanding color
balance and reproduction capability, superb optical
performance can be achieved. Ghost and flare
effects caused by internal reflections particular to
digital cameras are also effectively minimized. This
coating system is applied to all current lenses in the
NIKKOR lineup.

For this type of lens, apertures are always selected
from the camera body, as there is no aperture ring on
the lens itself. These lenses have D Signal to transmit
subject-to-camera distance to the camera body.
n Rounded Diaphragm
When shooting with an ordinary diaphragm, blurry,
polygon-shaped spots are likely to appear in images
of scenes that include point light sources such as
street lamps or holiday lighting at night. A rounded
diaphragm is achieved by using specialized blades
for a beautiful and naturally round shape for out-offocus objects.
n D Signal – Distance information output
capability
The D stands for Distance. Subject-to-camera
distance information is obtained with an internal
encoder, which is linked to the lens focus ring. This
information is then transmitted to the camera body
for high-precision exposure control found in 3D-RGB
Matrix Metering II and i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash.
Every AF, AF-S, PC and PC-E series lens has a
distance signal built in.
Ordinary diaphragm
n Internal Focusing
With this focusing method, all the lens elements are
divided into front, middle and rear groups, with only
the middle group moving to focus.
n Rear Focusing
With Nikon’s Rear Focusing (RF) system, all the lens
elements are divided into specific lens groups, with
only the rear lens group moving for focusing.
n Close-Range Correction system
The Close-Range Correction (CRC) system is one of
Nikon’s most important focusing innovations,
because it provides superior picture quality when
shooting at close distances, increasing your focusing
range. With CRC, the lens elements are configured
in a “floating element” design wherein each lens
group moves independently to achieve focusing.
