------------------
Japanese Nikon Company has produced photography (image) lenses for nearly 60 years. It has always been known for its high definition and high contrast. It is used for shooting purposes such as news, architecture, industry, medicine, remakes, plate making, and even color photography. What is particularly rare is that the quality is extremely stable and has never experienced ups and downs. It has always been at the top in countless tests and competitions and maintained a high-quality image, thus gaining high trust from professionals and photography enthusiasts. So how does Nikon maintain its industry-leading lens quality?
Close-up correction system
General lenses can usually achieve clear and pleasing image quality when shooting mid-range or no scenes. When taking close-up shots, the aberration increases and the image quality decreases. The image quality degradation of large-diameter lenses is particularly serious when taking close-up shots. This is not only true for large-diameter wide-angle lenses with an asymmetric structure of reverse telephoto type, but also for lenses with large-diameter symmetrical structures. To solve this problem, Nikon has adopted its unique close-up lens. Photographic correction system (CRC), a floating lens system to correct close-up aberration. When taking close-up shots, one group (sometimes two groups) of lenses in the lens move with different amplitudes relative to the other lenses to correct aberrations that increase due to changes in object distance to improve image quality. Since the floating range is generally very small, mostly within 1 mm, the accuracy of the mechanical structure is very high, which greatly increases the manufacturing cost. In wide-angle lenses where the quality of close-up shots is seriously degraded, Nikon spares no effort to use them locally. This close-up correction system strictly corrects the curvature of the field that occurs when taking close-up shots; the close-up correction system is also used in some medium-telephoto lenses with large close-up aberrations, which basically eliminates the increase in close-up aberrations. Ball aberration. These lenses ensure high identification rates and excellent imaging quality from infinity to the closest focusing distance.
Nikon Integrated Coating
The reflection of light on the lens surface and the absorption of light by the glass will produce ghosting, glare, reduced contrast and damage color reproduction and other adverse consequences. In order to solve this problem One problem is that the lenses of all Nikon lenses are coated with multiple layers of extremely thin coatings. Since coating does not only have advantages and disadvantages, nor does it mean that the more coatings, the better. Too much and too thick coatings will have a harmful filtering effect and filter out part of the visible spectrum. Therefore, unlike other manufacturers, Nikon calls this The multi-layer coating process of Nikon Integrated Coating (NIC) is incorporated into the design of each Nikon lens. According to factors such as lens type and glass material, the number of coating layers required for each lens is accurately marked to achieve the best results. matching status. This enables all Nikon lenses to greatly reduce glare and ghosting and improve image contrast.
According to the test results of a batch of imported Japanese lenses, several Nikon fixed-focus and zoom lenses not only have the highest transmittance, but all color proliferation index test values ??are at the middle value of the international standard tolerance range, and The test values ??of all lenses are almost identical, and the interchangeability is excellent. It can be seen that Nikon's lens design and coating process level are indeed superior to others, and the process is extremely stable.
Extra-low dispersion glass
Photography relies on light to form images. Black-and-white full-color film or color film requires that blue light and red light be focused on the same plane to prevent dispersion. Reduce sharpness, this problem will not occur with standard lenses and wide-angle lenses, but for telephoto lenses, especially lenses with focal lengths above 180mm, as long as there is a slight difference between the red light and blue light focal lengths, the sharpness and clarity of the long focal length lens will be reduced. Color reproduction is greatly affected and is much inferior to short focal length lenses. Nikon has developed a new type of extra-low dispersion glass (ED glass) that can not only overcome this shortcoming, but is also as hard and durable as other optical glasses. Resistant to scratches, so can be used as front and rear lenses when exposed to the outside.
Most of Niko's fixed-focus lenses with focal lengths from 180mm to 3000mm use ED glass to eliminate dispersion, while fixed-focus lenses with focal lengths of 400mm and above all use ED glass. Some long focal length zoom lenses also use ED glass.
Since the dispersion phenomenon is greatly reduced, the phenomenon that the recognition rate of long focal length lenses is always much worse than that of short focal length lenses is significantly changed. Therefore, although the price is much more expensive, it is generally welcomed by photographers who require high quality.
Internal focusing method
The generally used focusing ring with a double thread surface needs to move all the lens groups of the entire lens forward and backward in the lens barrel during the focusing process. movement, causing the length of the lens to also expand and contract. This complex focusing mechanism greatly increases the size and weight of the entire lens, which may make handheld shooting difficult. In order to solve this problem, Nikon developed the internal focusing (IF) system. When focusing, only the focusing lens group moves internally, but the length of the lens does not change. This simplifies the lens structure and reduces the size and weight of the lens. It is greatly reduced, and even some super telephoto lenses can be shot handheld, and the focus is faster and easier. The internal focusing system can also shorten the minimum shooting distance of the lens and improve the performance of the telephoto lens in close-up shooting. image quality. Nikon has a very strict quality assurance system to ensure the implementation of all technical measures and the long-term high stability of product quality. Starting from the optical glass raw materials, through various complex processes to the final assembly and testing of the lens, everything is completed in the factory, and is always in the lead. Under the constant and repeated inspection and control of precision instruments and skilled technicians, although the cost of Nikon lenses is increased and the price of Nikon lenses is higher, the phenomenon of missed inspections of substandard products is eliminated, giving every customer peace of mind. What Nikon customers praise most is Nikon's spirit of being responsible for its products. Although the functions of 135 SLR cameras are constantly being introduced, forcing the lens interface to continue to make huge and even fundamental changes, Nikon's latest F4 and other cameras can continue to use old lenses produced 30 years ago (that is, 1960), which is indeed unique in the world. This initiative shows that Nikon not only pays attention to every lens in production, but also does not forget all the old lenses that were shipped to customers in the early years. This "customer perspective" is perhaps the most powerful guarantee of the high quality of Nikon lenses. Millions of Nikon lenses around the world not only continue to promote Nikon's high quality, but also become a strong and constantly strengthening bond between Nikon and its customers. The biggest secret of Nikon's everlasting prosperity lies here.
