Nikon announces New Lenses for Nikon 1 Camera

Nikon Corporation has proudly made an announcement regarding the release of the 1 NIKKOR VR 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 and the 1 NIKKOR VR 10-100mm f/4-5.6. Two new lenses that will expand the lineup of 1 NIKKOR lenses for Nikon 1 – Advanced Cameras with Interchangeable Lenses.

The lens has the widest angle of view among 1 NIKKOR lenses, allowing users to capture wide-angle images that emphasize scale through distant landscapes, as well as being able to get up close to subjects in tight areas while still being able to capture a wide surrounding area.  It also offers detailed and sharp rendering through high resolution, making it ideal fordynamic expressions of everyday scenes, buildings and landscapes.  Equipped with a vibration reduction mechanism (VR), the lens is designed to be compact enough for portability. Its maximum diameter is approximately 56.5 mm, with a length of approximately 46 mm*1, and it weighs approximately 125 g.

Compared to 5x or greater high-power zoom lenses for digital cameras with interchangeable lenses, the 1 NIKKOR VR 10-100mm f/4-5.6 isnot only of the smallest size in its class*2, it also features one of the lightest and most compact bodies.  Because this single lens covers a broad range of focal lengths, from wide-angle to telephoto, users can capture images of distant subjects and close subjects without changing lenses and without missing a beat. 

  The current 1 NIKKOR lineup consists of six lenses; the 1 NIKKOR VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 normal zoom lens; the 1 NIKKOR VR 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 compact telephoto zoom lens; the 1 NIKKOR 10mm f/2.8 slim wide-angle fixed focal length lens; the 1 NIKKOR VR 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 PD-ZOOM lens equipped with a power drive mechanism recommended for movie recording; the 1 NIKKOR 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 2.5× normal zoom lens; and the 1 NIKKOR 18.5mm f/1.8 fixed focal length lens with fast maximum aperture.
