Among the most recent products for which the SWM was adopted is the AF-S Nikkor 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR, released in August 2014. This lens, compatible with Nikon FX-format digital SLR cameras, represents a new generation of high-performance super-telephoto lenses with which a significantly lighter weight has been achieved.
In addition, Nikon responded to a variety of user needs in September 2014 by adding the ultra wide-angle AF-S Nikkor 20mm f/1.8G ED to its lineup of fast, f/1.8 fixed focal length (prime) lenses for Nikon FX-format cameras. Naturally, the AF-S Nikkor 20mm f/1.8G ED utilizes the latest optical design technologies to achieve superior resolution.
In June 2014, Nikon released the 1 Nikkor VR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 for Nikon 1, Advanced Camera with Interchangeable Lenses. This super-telephoto zoom lens with a maximum focal length equivalent to 810mm (equivalent in 35mm format), is, according to Nikon, the world’s smallest and lightest lens in its class. The current lineup of 1 Nikkor lenses consists of twelve lenses with focal lengths ranging from 6.7mm to 300mm (angles of view equivalent to 18mm to 810mm in 35mm format) for coverage of a broad range of focal lengths, from ultra wide-angle to super-telephoto.
