Used Nikon Lenses (Manual Focus) |
The first Nikon F-mount lenses were what are today termed unofficially NON-AI lenses. NON-AI lenses lacked the ability to inform the camera body of the maximum aperture. So, in fact, the maximum aperture had to be indicated to the meter by setting the lens with the aperture ring set to f/5.6, and then turning the ring to first the minimum and then the maximum. AI lenses introduced technology that eliminated this step.
The AI lenses mechanically indicated the value of the maximum aperture and also included a ridge that encodes the aperture setting relative to maximum aperture. Nikon offered a kit to adapt NON-AI lenses to AI lenses, in their widely-acknowledged consumer-friendly legacy policies.
An enhanced AI-S specification added two mechanical features required for the automatic modes of the FA, N2000, and F4. AI-S lens apertures move linearly. This allowed the aperture to be uniformly controlled via a mechanical protocol and thusly enabled shutter priority capabilities.
These lenses can be used to varying degrees on modern DSLRs. Some offer a great value and perform as well or almost as well as their modern brethren in manual focus mode. |
