TOKYO - Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of a new lens, the AF Zoom-Nikkor 28-100mm f/3.5-5.6G.
This new lens was developed as a standard zoom lens offering enhanced telephoto capabilities. The lens affords a greater degree of operational simplicity for Nikon users -- even first-time SLR users who want to be able to easily take high-quality pictures.
The AF Zoom-Nikkor 28-100mm f/3.5-5.6G is a compact, lightweight standard zoom lens featuring Nikons world-class optics, one aspherical lens element, high-grade Nikon Super Integrated Coating, and a rounded diaphragm opening that makes out-of-focus objects appear more natural.
This G-type Nikkor lens is designed with no aperture rings, and offers easier, virtually mistake-free operation because the aperture does not need to be set to minimum.
Note: G-type Nikkor lens is fully compatible with the F5, F100, F80, F65, F55, D1-series and D100 cameras.
