Nikon Lenses

Nikon lenses are available in a wide range of focal lengths, from ultra-wide-angle to super-telephoto, making them suitable for a variety of photographic applications, including landscape, portrait, sports, wildlife, and more.

Nikon lenses are divided into two categories: DX-format lenses and FX-format lenses. DX lenses are designed for use with Nikon’s APS-C format DSLRs, while FX lenses are designed for use with Nikon’s full-frame (FX) DSLRs. However, many Nikon lenses are compatible with both DX and FX format cameras.

What mount does Nikon use for their lenses?

Nikon cameras have used several different lens mounts over the years, but the current mounts used by Nikon cameras are:

F-mount: The F-mount is the most common mount used by Nikon cameras. It was introduced in 1959 and is still used by Nikon’s DSLR cameras. F-mount lenses can also be used with Nikon’s mirrorless cameras via an adapter.

Z-mount: The Z-mount is a newer mount that was introduced in 2018 for Nikon’s mirrorless cameras. It has a larger mount diameter and shorter flange distance than the F-mount, which allows for improved image quality, faster autofocus, and greater lens design flexibility.

S-mount: The S-mount was used by Nikon’s rangefinder cameras in the 1950s and 1960s. It is no longer used by Nikon.

Nikon 1 mount: The Nikon 1 mount was used for Nikon’s mirrorless cameras from 2011 to 2018. It has now been replaced by the Z-mount.

Nikon currently uses the F-mount for their DSLR cameras and the Z-mount for their mirrorless cameras. F-mount lenses can also be used with Nikon’s mirrorless cameras via an adapter.
