Compatibility    History    Production    Pricing. Nikon uses the word Micro to mean the same thing as macro. Ill use these words interchangeably. The Nikon Micro NIKKOR 5. It works perfectly on every manual focus Nikon camera, and also works great on all better digital Nikons, especially the D3. X, D7. 00 and other FX cameras. It wont meter with the cheaper DX digital or AF cameras like the D9. LCD, or use the Gossen Digisix meter and hot shoe adapter. For manual focus cameras, the newer f2. AI s version is still made today, and used f2. This f3. 5 is a great lens, but if I had my choice, Id get the f2. I only bought this one to archive here I already have two f2. AI s 5. 5mm lenses I bought new over the years. For AF and digital cameras, Id suggest getting the newest 6. AFD instead. For the D4. AF S to have autofocus. Even. for manual focus cameras today, Id suggest getting the 6. AFD since it also will work perfectly on your AF cameras. The optics of all of these lenses are superlative its the mechanics and ease of use with AF and digital cameras which varies. Focus Scale, Nikon 5. Compatibility       back to intro     back to top. The manual focus 5. AI works great with most Nikon cameras, film and digital. It works flawlessly with every manual focus Nikon ever made, from the F of 1. FM3a and todays FM 1. On the D3. X, D3, D7. D3. 00, D2. 00, D2 and F6, use the Non CPU Lens Data menu option to set 5. EXIF data and finder read out of set aperture. It works great in aperture preferred as well as manual modes on these cameras. It works perfectly on every professional film camera F, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, and adds Matrix metering on the FA, F4 and F6. The meters of cheaper digital D8. N8. 0 and below will not couple or work at all with this lens, so youll be on your own guessing exposure using the rear LCD or an external meter, or get a tiny Gossen Digisix meter and hot shoe adapter to meter manually. See Nikon Lens Compatibility for details on your camera. Read down the AI, AI s column for this lens. The earliest non AI versions should be upgraded to AI, otherwise, they are compatible with much fewer cameras. If you have a non AI lens, see Nikon Lens Compatibility and read down the pre AI column.

Micro for its rangefinder cameras. God only knows how you focused or composed without through the lens viewing. Nikon didnt make a lot of these LEICA was the market leader in those days. Nikon put the same optics from the rangefinder lens in an F SLR mount mount for its new Nikon F 3. SLR. THey made at least two different cosmetic versions of this SLR lens. Nikon made about 1. Nikon changed the optics slighty to the version reviewed here. Nikon made several different cosmetic versions, both AI and non AI with the same optics, both single and multi coated.

AI s Micro Nikkor which replaced this f3. This current f2. CRC, close range correction, for optimum performance at every distance. Nikon has made about 6. AF, Nikons first AF micro, used the same optics as the AI s verison. Nikon only made about 5. A completely new design, the 6. AF comes out to replace the 5. AF. Nikon made about 1. D AF versions. 1.
