Throughout every era of imaging, NIKKOR's commitment to integrity, reliability and craftsmanship has been a constant in the changing world of photography.

Aspherical Lens Element Design

In 1968, Nikon introduced the first camera lens to use an Aspherical lens element. These lens elements have complex curved surfaces, where the radius of curvature changes to optimise light transmission and correct distortions that occur in normal spherical lenses. They also offer superior resolution performance and contribute to a lighter and smaller lens design.

Precision Glass Moulding

In its ongoing pursuit of excellence in lens manufacturing, Nikon developed a special moulding technique that is effective for medium to large diameter Aspherical lens elements, which were previously considered difficult to mould. Precision Glass Moulding (PGM) is the meticulous process where optical glass is softened by heating, then shaped in an Aspherical mould made of special heat-resistant material. This technology has become widely adopted in the manufacture of Aspherical camera lens elements.

Extra-low Dispersion Glass

NIKKOR’S ED glass lenses showcase Nikon’s leading edge in lens innovation and performance. This specialised glass is able to better focus the entire spectrum of colour, nearly eliminating a colour distortion called chromatic aberration that occurs in ordinary glass lenses. ED glass lenses produce remarkably sharp and high contrast images – even with fast lenses at maximum aperture.
