List of Nikon F-mount lenses with integrated autofocus motor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following list of Nikon F-mount lenses with integrated autofocus motor includes only Nikon F-mount lenses which fully autofocus in all modes of all Nikon F-mount digital single-lens reflex cameras with and also without an autofocus motor.[1] Cameras lacking an integrated autofocus motor (often called screw drive) are the Nikon D40, D40X, D60, Nikon D3xxx series (the latest model of which is the D3500), Nikon D5xxx series (the latest model of which is the D5600), all Nikon 1 series cameras with FT1 adapter and the Nikon Z-mount cameras with FTZ adapter.[2] Clearly designated including the necessary autofocus motor are all Nikon Nikkor AF-S (introduced 1996), AF-P (introduced 2015, not compatible with older bodies like the D3200) and the older AF-I (introduced 1992) lenses. Other manufacturers have different or no designations for lenses including a focus motor. All here not listed AF lenses without an autofocus motor do work fully, but lack autofocus-function on these cameras. Instead an electronic rangefinder can be used to find focus.[3]

Additionally all lenses in this list from Nikon and other manufacturers do integrate a CPU (microprocessor, introduced 1986) and additionally electronically communicate the focus distance information ('D' function, introduced 1992). Therefore, all lenses in this list support all Nikon DSLRs with all camera's exposure and Through-the-lens (TTL) metering modes including Matrix Metering mode, and also flash autoexposure like 3D (Color) Matrix Metering, D-TTL and the newer I-TTL also with Creative Lighting System (CLS).

Besides the quality (autofocus speed and noise, optical aberrations and other) of the lens including the way this quality is achieved (used technologies like type of autofocus motor, lens and body design and others), the main functional differences of the lenses in this list are the integration of optical image stabilization ('VR', introduced 2000) and secondly if it fully illuminates a Nikon FX (full-frame, 35mm) image sensor format and smaller sizes or if the specified maximum lens illumination is limited to the Nikon DX format with 1.5x crop factor (by default Nikon FX cameras crop the image automatically).

In June 2017, the list is supposed to be complete including 201 past and present lenses, additionally 28 compatible teleconverters and three lens extension tubes with support for integrated autofocus-motors. Listed here are nearly all recent autofocus-lenses, because all manufacturers have included focus motors in their Nikon-compatible lenses for years. The lenses are ordered by manufacturer and minimum and maximum focal length.

The Autofocus (AF) drive motor (Nikon D70/D70S) which is needed to drive older AF lenses without integrated motor. It is controlled by a coprocessor of the Expeed.

Nomenclature

[edit]

The sequence of lens designations may differ in literature. See also full list of Nikon designations, Sigma designations, Tamron designations and Tokina designations.

  • Nikon AF-S/Sigma HSM/Tamron USD or PZD: The lens contains an integrated ultrasonic focus motor based on piezoelectricity, which enables quiet or low noise autofocus operation. All Nikon zoom AF-lenses have focal length encoders added.
  • Nikon AF-P: The lens contains a pulse motor (utilizing stepping motors) to focus smoother and quieter than previous drive systems.
  • Nikon AF-I, Sigma/Tamron/Tokina: no designation: The lens contains an integrated focus electric motor. The Nikon type was produced from 1992 to 1996 and is rarely seen.
  • Nikon DX/Sigma DC/Tamron Di II/Tokina DX: Denotes a lens that is designed for APS-C DSLR sensors. Use of this lens on a full-frame (FX) sensor will likely cause vignetting. All full-frame Nikon DSLRs are able to detect DX lenses and crop the image accordingly by default. However, the viewfinder view is likely to be constricted.
  • Sigma DG/Tamron Di/Tokina FX: A lens for fullframe DSLRs (FX) or analog film. No special designation for Nikon NIKKOR. All fullframe lenses can be fully used on DX DSLRs with the advantage of reduced vignetting.
  • Nikon VR/Sigma OS/Tamron VC/Tokina VCM: Optical image stabilization, Nikon designation 'Vibration Reduction', indicated by green background, a system used to compensate for vibration and other camera movement.
  • Nikon D, Sigma/Tamron/Tokina: no designation: The lens is fitted with a CPU and additionally a digital sensor that tells the camera the distance at which it is focused, to allow for better exposure calculation.[1] Although some Nikon DSLRs will not do any exposure metering at all without a 'CPU' lens, all lenses in this list from Nikon and other manufacturers support compatible CPU and 'D' function.
  • Nikon G, Sigma/Tamron/Tokina: no designation: The lens is not fitted with an aperture ring, and is thus incompatible with most old Nikon film SLR bodies.[1] All G-type lenses are also D-type.
  • All IF: The lens utilises an internal focus mechanism, which does not extend or rotate the front optical element.
  • Nikon ED/Sigma APO/Tamron (X)LD/Tokina SD: Indicates that the lens is fitted with Extra-Low Dispersion glass, which aids in reducing chromatic aberration and flare.
  •  : Lens is out of production and is not or extremely rarely available as new.

  3. ^ Although it will physically mount on original Nikon AF-S and AF-I lenses (without modification), it is not compatible with AF-I or some older AF-S lenses because two electrical contacts used to pass certain lens information were removed.[4] Cannot mount lenses which jut out the F-mount.
