bill_marshall1 Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Does anyone know where I can find Nikon lens diagrams? Leica, Contax, & Cosina all post them on their websites & some are also available in reference books like "Leica Lens Compendium." Although I can find tests & opinions on Nikon lenses, I can't find diagrams even in "The New Nikon Compendium." Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl attanapola Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Hi Check the MIR site which has loads of info on Nikon lenses http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl attanapola Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Also the Nikon Japan site has an English section which has a sort of magazine which covers the history of important products they made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spencer_hahn Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Full Line Product guides have them. Each element is supposed to be color-coded according to ED/non-ED but often they're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivek iyer Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 The product guides I have from the local Nikon distributer has the color coded elements (aspeherical- blue, ED- yellow). When shown on the websites, this is often not very noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_lofquist Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 "The Complete Nikon System" by Peter Braczko (IBSN 1-883403-85-5) has diagrams for many of the current and past Nikkors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee hamiel Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Bill: If you're looking for a specific lens let me know - I may have it in a full catalogue from a few years ago & can scan & post or email to you a pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_mccann Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I too have a bunch of old lens info- would be glad to send you a photocopy or scan. Not all the old catalogs have it, but let me know which lens and I'll look. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
