Nikon SLR shot with 43-83 zoom

This was taken with a Nikon F3 SLR with one of the first zoom lenses, a Nikon 43mm-83mm F3.5 lens. This lens came out in the late 1960s, and went through about 4 or more versions. This photo is from the first version. The lens was never considered a great one, or equivalent to a prime lens, but was a popular lens for travel lens because it covered a wide focal length range.

The film was Kodak MAX 800, which is a fairly grainly color negative film, and was taken at f3.5. The background OOF is similar to the Leica Summicron pre-asph 35mm lenses, which generally cost ~$1000 or so, but these old Nikon zoom lenses, are often 1/10th or less than that of a Leica lens.Posted by PicasaCopyright 2006 Ted Matsumura.

PMA 2008 - New Nikon Lenses

This year Nikon is introducing some perfect cool new lenses. The 16-85mm zoom has VRII, that means virbration reduction, which can get you up to 4 more stops for baring in a zoom lens. Then the Tilt/Shift Lens called 24mm PC/E . Like having a Intent Camera in your hands with perspective control and a spat feature. Canon has had one of these for years but this update, at long last brings the Nikon series in-line. And it's arguably a better lens.Mind for the 45 and 85 PC/E later. The Micro Nikkor has been roughly for years and the new 60mm deserves a spot in your camera bag. Visit http://photoinduced.com for more.
