Nikon originally reserved the Nikkor designation for its highest-quality imaging optics, but in recent history almost all Nikon lenses are so branded. Notable Nikkor branded optics have included: F-mount lenses for 35mm SLR and DSLR photography (for a full list see Nikon F-mount). Z-mount lenses for Nikon mirrorless cameras.
The Nikon F-mount is a type of interchangeable lens mount developed by Nikon for its 35 mm Single-lens reflex cameras. The F-mount was first introduced on the Nikon F camera in 1959.

Nikon AF-I, Sigma/Tamron/Tokina: no designation: The lens contains an integrated focus electric motor. The Nikon type was produced from 1992 to 1996 and is ...
AF lenses designated "D" add no functionality to the F-501, and "AF-S" and "VR" lenses will not perform their special functions if attached to an F-501. Continuing Nikon's practice at time, the F-501 has interchangeable focusing screens, a feature that is now quite unusual. Three screens (types B, E and J) were available for the F-501.
Uncoated glasses lens (top) versus lens with anti-reflective coating. The reflection from the coated lens is tinted because the coating works better at some wavelengths than others. An antireflective , antiglare or anti-reflection ( AR ) coating is a type of optical coating applied to the surface of lenses , other optical elements, and ...

Telephoto lenses using diffractive elements to minimize chromatic aberration are commercially available from Canon and Nikon for interchangeable-lens cameras; these include 800mm f/6.3, 500mm f/5.6, and 300mm f/4 models by Nikon (branded as "phase fresnel" or PF), and 800mm f/11, 600mm f/11, and 400mm f/4 models by Canon (branded as ...

In the absence of activating light, the lenses return to their clear state.
