/* Lenses for Nikon F-mount */
'''Nikkor''' is the brand of lenses produced by [[Nikon|Nikon Corporation]], including camera lenses for the [[Nikon F-mount]].
The Nikkor brand was introduced by Nippon Kogaku K.K. (Nikon's original corporate name) in 1932. Nikon originally reserved the Nikkor designation for its highest-quality imaging optics, but in recent history almost all Nikon lenses are so branded.
Notable Nikkor branded optics have included:
* [[Nikon F-mount|F-mount]] lenses for [[135 film|35mm]] [[Single-lens reflex camera|SLR]] and [[DSLR]] photography.
* Lenses for [[Bronica]] and [[Plaubel Makina]] [[medium format camera]]s.
* Lenses for Nikon S-series and [[Leica Camera|Leica]] [[Rangefinder camera|rangefinder]] cameras
* Amphibious lenses for [[Nikonos]] underwater cameras
* Lenses for [[large format]] photography.
* EL-Nikkor photographic [[enlarger]] lenses.
* The lens of [[Canon Inc.|Canon]]'s first or second camera, the "[http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/htmls/nikon_canon.htm Hanza Canon]."
* [[Microscope]] objectives.
* Industrial lenses, including lenses in support of the Japanese war effort during [[World War II]].
Currently the most actively developed and marketed Nikkor lenses are Nikon's [[F-mount]] photographic lenses. These lenses are designed to cover the 24x36mm area of [[135 film]] and the [[Nikon FX format]], or in the case of "DX" designated lenses, the 16x24mm area of the [[Nikon DX format]].

Nikkors constitute the majority of lenses available for the [[Nikon F-mount]], which is itself the largest system of interchangeable flange-mount photographic lenses in history. These lenses are designed for the [[135 film|135]] (35mm) and [[Nikon DX format|Nikon DX]] formats. Over 400 different F-mount Nikkor models are known to exist.
