Total production of Nikkor lenses for Nikon SLR cameras reaches fifty million

Nikon (then Nippon Kogaku K.K.) released its first Nikkor lens for Nikon SLR cameras, the Nikkor-S Auto 5cm f/2, in 1959 along with its first SLR camera, the Nikon F. In the fifty years since then, Nikkor lenses have been extremely well received by a great number of photo enthusiasts and professional photographers.

The current lineup of more than sixty Nikkor lenses for Nikon SLR cameras offers a wide variety of lenses, including fisheye lenses, super wide-angle to super telephoto lenses and micro lenses.
