hen it comes to choosing photographic equipment,
perhaps the most important decision a photographer
faces is which lens system to use. For the majority of
professional photographers, that choice is simple:

Nikkor. Why? Because NIKKOR lenses offer unrivalled clarity,
sharpness, focusing accuracy, range and reliability.  

The reasons for this are many, not the least of which is

Nikon‘s total commitment to controlling every aspect of lens
manufacturing. By selecting only the finest raw materials and
employing the most advanced processing and design tech-
niques, Nikon produces the precision-crafted lens elements that
help you take the world’s greatest pictures.

This no-compromise attitude toward ultrahigh-tech manufac-

turing extends to performance. For each NIKKOR lens is

designed to function seamlessly with Nikon SLRs in a synergy
of purpose that is simply unparallelled. This is exemplified most
clearly in the legendary Nikon F mount. For even the most
advanced NIKKOR lenses incorporate this standard that has
won over decades of devotees for its consistency and reliabil-
ity. This design also ensures that when we release revolution-
ary cameras like the Nikon F6, D3 and D300 with features

such as 3D Colour Matrix Metering and i-TTL Balanced Fill-
Flash, you can be sure to find an array of NIKKOR lenses that
can handle these advances too. 

Once you see for yourself how smoothly the Nikon-NIKKOR

combination works, chances are you’ll do what most of the 
world’s professional photographers do — 

For absolute clarity

and sharpness of

detail for close-up

photography.

Equipped with a
tilt/shift mechanism
