The '''Nikon F-mount''' is a type of interchangeable [[lens mount]] developed by [[Nikon]] for its [[135 film|35 mm]] [[Single Lens Reflex|SLR]] [[camera]]s. The F-mount was first introduced on the [[Nikon F]] camera in [[1959]], and features a three lug [[bayonet mount]] with a 44 mm throat and a flange to [[focal plane]] distance of 46.5 mm.
The large variety of F-mount compatible lenses makes it the largest system of interchangeable flange-mount photographic lenses in history. Over 400 different [[Nikkor]] lenses are compatible with the system. The F-mount is also popular in scientific and industrial applications, most notably [[machine vision]].
The Nikon F-mount is one of only two photographic lens mounts (the other being the [[Pentax K mount]]) which were not abandoned by their associated manufacturer upon the introduction of [[autofocus]], but rather the mount was extended to meet new requirements related to [[light meter|metering]] and [[autofocus]].
Brands of F-mount photographic lenses include [[Nikon]], [[Zeiss]], [[Voigtländer]], [[Schneider Kreuznach|Schneider]], [[Angénieux retrofocus|Angénieux]], [[Sigma Corporation|Sigma]], [[Tokina]], [[Tamron]], [[Hartblei]], [[Kiev-Arsenal (photo camera)|Kiev-Arsenal]], [[Lensbaby]], [[Vivitar]], and others. F-mount photographic cameras include current models from [[Nikon]], [[Sinar]], [[Fujifilm]], and [[Kodak]]. Numerous other manufacturers employ the F-mount in non-photographic imaging applications.
The F-mount has a significant degree of both [[backward compatibility|backward]] and [[forward compatibility]]. Many current autofocus F-mount lenses can be used on the [[Nikon F]], and the earliest manual-focus F-mount lenses of the 1960s and early 1970s can, with some modification, still be used to their fullest on all professional-class Nikon cameras. Incompatibilities do exist, however, and adventurous F-mount users should consult product documentation in order to avoid problems. In particular, many electronic camera bodies cannot meter without a '''CPU''' enabled lens, the aperture of '''G''' designated lenses cannot be controlled without an electronic camera body, and '''non-AI''' lenses (manufactured prior to 1977) can cause mechanical damage to later model bodies unless they are modified to the '''AI''' specification.

[[Image:Nikon D50 body front.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Nikon D50]] reveals a current revision of the F-mount.]]
Most Nikon F-mount lenses cover the standard 36×24 mm area of [[135 film]] and the [[Nikon FX format]], while "DX" designated lenses cover the 24×16 mm area of the [[Nikon DX format]], and industrial F-mount lenses have varying, often small, coverage. "DX" lenses produce [[vignetting]] when used on film cameras. However, Nikon lenses designed for film cameras will work on Nikon digital system cameras with some limitations.

====Designations====
Nikon has introduced many proprietary designations for F-mount [[Nikkor]] lenses, reflecting design variations and developments both in lenses and the F-mount itself. There are also "unofficial" designations used by collectors and dealers to differentiate similar lenses.
[[Image:Nikkor50f1.4.jpg|thumb|250|A typical Non-AI lens: A Nikkor 50mm with the old-style metering prong clearly visible.]]
=====Pre-autofocus=====
* '''Pre-AI''' ''or'' '''Non-AI''' ''or'' '''NAI''' — An unofficial designation for the original F-mount in which a prong fixed to the lens's aperture ring provided meter coupling. Setup was manual: the maximum aperture of the lens was communicated to the light meter by mounting the lens with the aperture ring set to {{f/}}5.6, and then turning the ring to first the minimum and then the maximum apertures. <br /> ''Warning: Mounting a non-AI lens can damage many modern Nikon camera bodies.'' Non-AI lenses can be converted to the AI specification; see '''AI'd''' below.
* '''U, B, T, Q, P, H, S, O, N, D''' — Appears immediately before or after the "Nikkor" name on early lenses, designating the number of optical elements in the design. Short for Uns (1), Bini (2), Tres (3), Quatour (4), Pente (5), Hex (6), Septem (7), Octo (8), Novem (9), or Decem (10). Can be combined — ''UD'' would indicate eleven elements. This designation scheme was dropped around 1976.
* '''AI''' — Manual focus with "Automatic Indexing" [[light meter]] coupling, introduced in 1977. In addition to the pre-AI metering prong, an AI lens includes a ridge on its aperture ring that encodes the aperture setting ''relative to the maximum aperture,'' and a post on its mounting flange that encodes the value of the maximum aperture. This post is also found on AI-S lenses.
* '''AI'd''' — An unofficial designation for lenses converted partially (aperture ring ridge only) or completely from non-AI to AI. This is accomplished by replacing the aperture ring (using a kit procured from Nikon, now long-discontinued) or by modifying the original part. Some independent camera repair technicians continue to offer such conversions.
* '''AI-S''' — The successor to AI, AI-S added two mechanical features required for the automatic or semi-automatic exposure modes of the [[Nikon FA]], [[Nikon F301|F301/N2000]], [[Nikon F501|F501/N2020]], and [[Nikon F4|F4]] cameras. First, AI-S lens apertures move linearly in relation to their stop-down levers, and this feature is indicated by a special notch in the lens mount. Second, AI-S lenses with a focal length of 135mm or longer are indicated by a special ridge on the lens mount (used by FA, F501, and F4 only). The development of CPU-enabled AI-P and AF lenses meant that no later cameras would require these features, although the linear aperture control of AI-S remains advantageous over the non-standardized control of AI and pre-AI lenses. The term AI-S is now commonly used to refer to manual focus lenses, although all Nikon autofocus lenses with aperture rings also meet the AI-S specification.
* '''AI-P''' ''or'' '''P''' — "AI with Program." CPU-enabled variation of AI-S. Includes only the 45/2.8P, 500/4P and 1200-1700/5.6-8P.
* '''Auto''' — Early designation indicating the presence of an automatic diaphragm [[aperture]]. Not to be confused with auto exposure or [[auto focus]].
* '''C''' — An early Nikkor designation for a ''coated'' lens. This designation was discontinued after lens coating became the standard practice.
=====Electromechanical=====
* '''AF''' — The original [[autofocus]] designation, indicating focus driven by a motor inside the camera body.
* '''AF-I''' — Autofocus-Internal. Driven by a [[Electric motor#Coreless DC motors|coreless DC motor]]. Used only in long telephoto lenses (300 mm {{f/}}2.8 through 600 mm {{f/}}4.0) starting in 1992. Replaced with AF-S in 1996.
* '''AF-S''' — Autofocus-Silent. Uses a "Silent Wave Motor" ([[ultrasonic motor]]) to focus quietly and quickly. Similar to Canon's "USM" technology. Introduced in 1996.
* '''AF-N''' — Indicates the "New" version of an AF lens. The change from plastic focus rings on early AF lenses to the a new "rubber inset focus ring" ('''RIFR''') is often indicated by the AF-N designation.
* '''E''' — [[Electromagnetic]] diaphragm. The aperture diaphragm of an E lens is controlled digitally by the camera, and actuated electromagnetically by a system housed within the lens, rather than employing the F-mount's traditional mechanical diaphragm linkage. Currently this system appears only in certain Perspective Control lenses, designated '''PC-E''', with designs that preclude a mechanical linkage. The E feature is only supported by the [[Nikon D3]], [[Nikon D300|D300]], and [[Nikon D700|D700]] cameras. PC-E lenses require manual diaphragm operation on other cameras. Not to be confused with '''Series E''' lenses.
* '''VR''' — [[Vibration Reduction]]. Uses a moving optical group to reduce the photographic effects of camera shake. Some VR lenses also support a [[Panning (camera)|panning]] mode, detecting horizontal movement of the lens and minimizing only vertical vibration. Similar to Canon's Image Stabilizer, Sigma's OS, etc. The latest VR type, implemented in the 18-200 mm {{f/}}3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR DX and 105 mm {{f/}}2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR N Micro-Nikkor, is called "VR-II," but is not currently official Nikkor nomenclature.
=====Data communication=====
* '''CPU''' — Central Processing Unit. The lens is fitted with electrical contacts for digital communication with the camera. All AF and AI-P lenses are CPU lenses. Some non-professional Nikon cameras require CPU lenses for metered operation. This designation appears in specifications but not lens names.
* '''D''' — Distance. Indicated after the [[f-stop|f-number]]. It means the lens is capable of using Nikon's 3D Matrix Metering on bodies that support it. The lens transmits focus distance information, which is incorporated into the camera's exposure calculations.
* '''G''' — Indicated after the [[f-stop|f-number]]. G lenses do not have an aperture ring, and the aperture can only be controlled electronically by the camera body. Only auto focus bodies with command dials are capable of controlling G lenses. Older auto focus bodies will work with G lenses in shutter priority and program modes. G lenses otherwise have the same characteristics as D lenses.
=====Optical design=====
* '''CRC''' — Close Range Correction. Improved performance at close focus distances. Achieved by internal focus movements that are complex with respect to movement of the focus ring. This designation appears in specifications but not lens names.
* '''DC''' — Defocus Control. DC lenses have a separate control ring for spherical aberration, which affects primarily the appearance of out-of-focus areas, also known as [[bokeh]]. At extreme settings, DC lenses can generate an overall soft-focus effect.
* '''ED''' — "Extra-low [[Optical dispersion|Dispersion]]" glass incorporated to reduce [[chromatic aberration]]. "Super ED" glass has been introduced as well.
* '''Micro''' — Micro lenses are capable of high reproduction ratios, typically 1:2 or 1:1, for [[macro photography]].
* '''GN''' — [[Guide number|Guide Number]]. Assists in flash exposure on cameras without automatic flash metering. The flash's guide number is set on the lens, and the aperture is accordingly coupled to the lens's focus ring for correct exposure.
* '''IF''' — Internal Focus. Focusing is accomplished through the movement of internal lens groups, eliminating extension and rotation of the front lens element.
* '''N''' — Indicates the Nano Crystal Coat, a relatively new type of lens coating that originated in Nikon's semiconductor division. Lenses with this coating feature the logo of an "N" inside an elongated hexagon on the name plate. The coating is currently used in the 14-24 mm {{f/}}2.8G ED AF-S, 24-70 mm {{f/}}2.8G ED-IF AF-S, 60 mm {{f/}}2.8G ED-IF AF-S Micro, 105 mm {{f/}}2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro, and 300 mm {{f/}}2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Nikkors.
* '''PC''' — [[Perspective correction lens|Perspective Control]]. Lens includes [[View camera#Movements|movements]] to control perspective and depth-of-field. These include the shift-only 28 mm and 35 mm PC Nikkors, and the tilt/shift 85 mm {{f/}}2.8D PC Micro Nikkor.
* '''Reflex''' — Designates a [[catadioptric]] (mirror) lens.
* '''UV''' — Lenses designed for imaging [[ultraviolet]] light.
=====Alternate product lines=====
* '''DX''' — Lens designed for the smaller [[Nikon DX format]]. [[Vignetting]] may occur if used on a [[135 film]] or [[Nikon FX format]] camera in full-frame mode, although some DX lenses cover the full 135 frame at longer focal lengths.
* '''IX''' — Lenses designed for use with the now-defunct Pronea [[Advanced Photo System|APS]] SLR. These are all autofocus zoom lenses. They are not compatible with cameras outside of the Pronea system.[http://nikonimaging.com/global/products/lens/ix/archives.htm]
* '''Series E''' — A line of lower-cost lenses manufactured during the 1980s for Nikon's amateur SLRs. They sacrificed some construction quality and employed simpler optical designs. All were specified as AI-S, but not branded ''Nikkor,'' instead carrying the text "Nikon lens Series E."
=====Esoteric=====
* '''Bellows''' — Lens designed exclusively for use on a [[bellows]] unit, primarily for [[macro photography]]. Also called '''short mount'''.
* '''Medical''' — Nikkor designation for a [[macro photography|macro]] lens with a built-in ring light strobe system, designed for clinical and scientific applications.
* '''Noct''' — "Night." Specialty low-light lens designed for maximum sharpness at the widest aperture setting. Includes only the 58mm {{f/}}1.2 Noct-Nikkor.
* '''OP''' — Orthographic Projection. Fisheye lens that produces a larger central image, with the peripheral areas more compressed than a "normal" fisheye lens.
