Why Nikon A Quick Glance.

Short Description
No bells. No whistles. No hype. This is the nature of Nikon photo technologies. Nikon’s engineers are just as passionate about their pictures as you are about yours, so they test equipment in the field as well as the research laboratory. Why? Because they know that is the only way to make a camera system as flexible, practical, integrated and forward-looking as the Nikon SLR system. Each Nikon SLR is created to give you the results you want, when you want, without compromise. Professionals depend on it. Enthusiasts take it for granted. So can you.

Super Integrated Coating and Nano Crystal Coat
The lens is arguably the most important part of any camera. Quality lenses make quality pictures. But for digital imaging, new standards needed to be met to manage reflections caused by the imaging sensor, which can produce image-degrading effects such as flare and ghost. Nikon understands that lens coating technology is an integral part of any quality lens and makes an immense difference to the quality of the final picture. That’s why since the late ’90s, Super Integrated Coating has been applied onto all Nikkor lenses. More recently, Nikon introduced Nano Crystal Coat to further reduce the effects of internal reflections. This new technology originates in the optics used in the microscopic manufacture of semiconductors (or processor chips), where precision is crucial. This outstanding extra-low refractive coating uses ultra-fine crystallized particles of nano scale (one nanometer = 1/1,000,000 of a millimeter), to minimize ghost and flare, especially in backlit situations, to give you more clarity under more demanding conditions than ever before.
Super ED Glass
When light rays pass through optical glass, their varying wavelengths cause color dispersion, resulting in what is known as chromatic aberration. One way to prevent this unwanted effect is to use calcium fluoride crystals, but these fragile elements are sensitive to temperature changes, which in turn can affect proper focus. Instead, Nikon invented an alternative glass manufacturing technology called ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass. Because of its special production process, ED glass was initially the exclusive preserve of the professional, but today it is available in numerous more affordable Nikkor lenses — including all DX Nikkors. Ongoing improvements have now resulted in new Super ED glass that offers increased control over color aberration.
