( Nikon Corporation since 1988) in Japan from September 1971 to 1980. However, in response to the persistent demand in the domestic and export markets, it was decided to continue production and an output-increasing system was set up. It was manufactured by the Japanese optics company Nippon Kogaku K. Nikon F was produced in Yokohama Works starting in 1971, and production was to discontinued in March 1972 after the introduction of the next-generation mainline camera (Nikon F2). The front element does not rotate so using a polarizer is no problem. The Nikon F2 is a professional-level, interchangeable lens, 35 mm film, single-lens reflex (SLR) camera. As a result of the screw drive, AF operation will generate a moderate degree of noise. The lens has no internal AF motor and relies on a slotted drive screw operated by the camera, so AF is not available on the motor-free entry level Nikon DSLRs.

The small rubberized focus ring is very smooth and only marginally damped, but rotates during AF operation.

Just like the optical formula, other properties remained unchanged through the years: it is rather compact and light-weight, and also quite affordable for a relatively fast prime. The still current AF-D version of the lens was introduced in 1994, however the basic design goes back to the Ai-S version, which was brought to market in 1984 already.
The Nikkor 20mm f/2.8 is a very wide prime that has been around for quite a while.
