About NIKKOR lenses

In a sincere response to the users’ requests and feedback, Nikon continuously delivers results, and builds trust by making the most of advanced optical technologies cultivated over its long history.

Amongst the various technologies that Nikon has developed include the Nano Crystal Coat for an anti-reflection coating, the Phase Fresnel (PF) lens elements with superior chromatic aberration compensation capability that makes lenses smaller and lighter, fluorite lens elements that offer superior chromatic aberration compensation and make telephoto lenses more compact, and also the Fluorine Coat on NIKKOR lenses to effectively repel dust, water, grease, dirt, etc.

Nikon's high-quality standards are applied to all stages, from the initial design and development to the final product release, thus ensuring a design that responds to user needs. The meticulousness is further combined with a production system and inspections that ensure the superior quality and reliability of NIKKOR lenses.

Nikon's line-up of lenses for cameras with interchangeable lenses currently consists of more than 90 types of lenses, including ultra wide-angle to super-telephoto lenses, fisheye lenses, zoom lenses, Micro lenses, and PC-E lenses, that support a wide variety of applications, as well as 1 NIKKOR lenses.

In October 2014, Nikon announced its milestone achievement of 90 million in total production of NIKKOR lenses for Nikon interchangeable lens cameras. The achievement is also accompanied by the equally momentous 50 million total production mark for NIKKOR lenses equipped with the Silent Wave Motor (SWM) technology.
