One of the great aspects of Nikon's camera systems is that most of the legacy lenses—those that you may have used with your film-based Nikon SLR camera—can be used on your digital SLR camera.
What if you've got older lenses that you used to use with a Nikon film-based SLR camera-well you can use those lenses as long as they were made after That's when Nikon began manufacturing AI lenses. AI stands for "Automatic Maximum Aperture Indexing" system, which is the mechanical system for coupling the lens to the camera's exposure system.
The AIS lens, which came later, allowed for automatic aperture control; which controlled the aperture more precisely. An AI-P lens is a manual lens that has a CPU basically a computer built into it; which is used to transfer metering data from the lens to the camera.
Nikon currently offers lenses that have autofocus operation and others that offer only manual focus operation. Because you sometimes want to be able to control the focus yourself you can actually manually focus any autofocus NIKKOR lens, simply by setting it to the manual focus mode. The AF-S version of the Nikon mm lens; r. On several Nikon DSLR camera bodies, the focus motor is in the camera and a series of gears drives the lens' focusing mechanism, which allows the lens to focus.
The autofocus lenses are further categorized into G-type, D-type, or E type lenses. Many D-Type lenses have an aperture control ring and can be used on older Nikon SLR cameras that allow for manual control of the aperture, as well as on D-SLRs—especially useful for adjusting aperture while recording D-Movies on higher end models.
When used on a DSLR, the aperture control ring needs to be locked at the smallest possible aperture generally designated in orange , and the aperture control is maintained through the camera's command dial. A G-type lens does not have an aperture control ring and are intended for use on Nikon DSLRs that allow the lens aperture to be adjusted via the camera's command dial.
Because G-type lenses relay subject-to-camera-distance information to the camera, where it is used to help determine ambient and flash exposure, they are also considered to be D-type lenses. Note there is no aperture ring on that version of the lens, while there is an aperture ring on the AF version.
This technology serves to provide a highly accurate diaphragm control for more stable auto-exposure control when capturing fast-paced scenes at high frame rates. Lenses with an electromagnetic aperture mechanism capture consecutive shots with minimal differences in exposures as the aperture opening is controlled via digital signals that are passed through the CPU contacts of the lens.
This is enabled by a small motor inside the lens that moves the blades based on digital communication between the DSLR body and lens. Price-Match Guarantee. Instruction Manuals. Think Tank Camera Bags. Grays Merchandise. Ordering Information. Gift Certificates. Second-hand Equipment.
