About this product
Product Information
The Nikon Micro-NIKKOR 55 mm f/2.8 Ai-S manual focus lens is a capable addition that fits a Nikon digital SLR camera body. This sturdy yet lightweight unit helps photographers produce professional-quality photos with ease. It is particularly good for macro-lens photography, taking crystal-clear photos of small objects. You can also get great photo quality at all distances from your subject because of Nikon's Close-Range Correction, or CRC, system. Whether you're a hobbyist who loves taking photos of family and friends or a professional who wants to capture both large and small objects in detail, this is a solid tool to add to your arsenal of photo equipment and accessories. Introduced in 1977, Nikon developed the concept of automatic maximum aperture indexing, or AI, as a new way to couple the light meter to the aperture ring. This was accomplished with two physical changes to the lens. These AI lenses have an indented portion on the camera end that catches the feeler found on the camera's lens mount. Next, a mechanical system provides information about the maximum opening. To provide you with the information you need, there is also a smaller second row of numbers that lets you see the opening number through the viewfinder. With the lens mounted and ready to shoot, the light meter gets all its needed information from the Micro-NIKKOR 55 mm. These Nikon Ai-S lenses also include the AI Shutter system that has an aperture priority mode. You can choose the opening and let the camera set the shutter speed and shutter priority. You can also opt to use the automatic and program modes as well. Because of these great aperture options, these lenses work well with Nikon FG, F4, and FA series cameras as well as the N2000 and the N8008 series. The versatile 55 mm f/2.8 NIKKOR with a f/2.8 maximum opening helps you focus in macro situations. This NIKKOR has the shortest focal length of any Nikon macro unit, with a 1:2 magnification ratio at a distance of 25 cm. This helps your subjects to appear on film at one-half their actual size. If you want life-sized reproduction, you can add the optional PK-13 extension tube. The 55 mm f/2.8 NIKKOR Ai-S is fast and takes vivid photographs that hold their own against a normal lens used in general photography. No matter which opening you use, from the maximum f/2.8 to the minimum f/32, or at what distance you shoot from, you can expect to get clean and sharp photographs. This 55 mm manual focus unit has a 35 mm FX image circle and front-element rotation. You can use a 52 mm filter, which will rotate during focusing, and it also accepts the HN-3 hood. The front element of the lens is deeply recessed, so a hood is only needed if you will be using filters. With a weight of 10 ounces, this unit makes for lightweight carrying. Construction is simple with six elements in five groups, and it gives you the solid feel of a piece of well-made equipment.
