Nikkor - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nikkor is the brand of lenses produced by Nikon Corporation, including camera lenses for the Nikon F-mount.

The Nikkor brand was introduced by Nippon Kogaku K.K. (Nikon's original corporate name) in 1932. Nikon originally reserved the Nikkor designation for its highest-quality imaging optics, but in recent history almost all Nikon lenses are so branded.

Notable Nikkor branded optics have included:

• F-mount lenses for 35mm SLR and DSLR photography.
• Lenses for Bronica and Plaubel Makina medium format cameras.
• Lenses for Nikon S-series and Leica rangefinder cameras
• Amphibious lenses for Nikonos underwater cameras
• Lenses for large format photography.
• EL-Nikkor photographic enlarger lenses.
• The lens of Canon's first or second camera, the "Hanza Canon."
• Microscope objectives.
• Industrial lenses, including lenses in support of the Japanese war effort during World War II....Full Wiki Entry Here
