Nikon 200mm f4 Micro-Nikkor IF AI - Lens

Nikon 200mm f4 Micro-Nikkor IF AI - Lens

Manual focus telephoto macro lens made for F-mount SLRs by Nikon starting in 1978. This was the first Micro-Nikkor lens to have an Internal Focus (IF) system. It has a built-in lens hood and an attachable tripod collar. It has the bunny ear metering prongs and AI ridge, so it will meter properly on all manual Nikon cameras but cannot be used with the advanced program modes of later models. Metal body available in black.

Nikon F

Nikon introduced their first SLR, the Nikon F, in 1959. Alongside it they unveiled a series of lenses and a new lens mount that would carry them to professional success for the next decades. To this day, all Nikon DSLRs use the Nikon F mount.

In the beginning, Nikon lenses communicated aperture information to the body using a metal coupling fork, affectionately known as "bunny ears". Soon after, Nikon began using a similar system that automatically told the camera the maximum aperture of the lens. This Automatic Indexing (AI) system stuck around for decades in lenses and is still found on Nikon's high-end professional DSLRs even though new lenses communicate this information electronically.

With only minor compatibility issues (don't use a pre-AI lens on AI bodies or modern digital cameras), Nikon F lenses and bodies are pretty much interchangeable.
