The number of Nikon interchangeable lenses, including those produced for the Nikon 1 system, has reached 80 million in the space of 54 years.
At the beginning of November 2012, the total production of NIKKOR lenses for Nikon SLR cameras had reached seventy-five million and in the seven months since then the company has produced a further five million optics to take the total number above and beyond the eighty million mark.
Nikon’s active release of NIKKOR lenses has recently seen the AF-S NIKKOR 800mm f/5.6E FL ED VR and AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR added to the range. In January 2013, Nikon announced two new lenses for the Nikon 1 system: the 1 NIKKOR VR 10-100mm f/4-5.6 10× zoom lens, a single lens that covers focal lengths ranging from wide-angle to telephoto, and the ultra-wide-angle zoom 1 NIKKOR VR 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6, offering the widest angle of view in the 1 NIKKOR lineup at 100°. In addition to these two lenses, the fastest lens in the 1 NIKKOR lineup, the 1 NIKKOR 32mm f/1.2, a mid-telephoto fixed focal length lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.2, was announced in May of this year.
