Nikon has released the 1 Nikkor VR 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 and the 1 Nikkor VR 10-100mm f/4-5.6, two new lenses which will expand its line up of 1 Nikkor lenses for its Nikon 1 series cameras.
The 1 Nikkor VR 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 is an ultra wide-angle zoom lens which offers a 100 degree angle of view, and 6.7-13mm range of focal lengths (equivalent to 18-35mm in 35-mm format). The lens has the widest angle of view among 1 Nikkor lenses. Nikon says its 1 Nikkor lenses offer detailed, sharp rendering through high resolution, making them ideal for subjects as varied as close ups of buildings to vistas of landscapes. Equipped with a vibration reduction mechanism (VR), the lens is compact. Its maximum diameter is around 56.5 mm, its length 46 mm, and it weighs 125g.
The 1 Nikkor VR 10-100mm f/4-5.6 is a 10x zoom lens which covers the 10-100mm range of focal lengths (equivalent to 27-270mm in 35-mm format), and it has a vibration reduction mechanism (VR). Nikon says the 1 Nikkor VR 10-100mm f/4-5.6 is not only the smallest size in its class, it also has one of the lightest and most compact bodies. The 1 Nikkor VR 10-100mm f/4-5.6 achieves sharp and clear images, shooting anything from picturesque scenery to outstanding portraits.
The 1 Nikkor interchangeable lenses continues use of the Nikon F mount, which has been around for over 50 years. Nikon says the lenses offer silent and smooth movement with movie recording for better focusing precision.
The current 1 Nikkor line up includes six lenses; the 1 Nikkor VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 normal zoom lens; the 1 Nikkor VR 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 compact telephoto zoom lens; the 1 Nikkor 10mm f/2.8 slim wide-angle fixed focal length lens; the 1 Nikkor VR 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 PD-zoom lens with a power drive mechanism for movie recording; the 1 Nikkor 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 2.5◊ normal zoom lens; and the 1 Nikkor 18.5mm f/1.8 fixed focal length lens with fast maximum aperture. With two new lenses, as well as a high-performance 32mm (equivalent to 86.4mm in 35mm format) medium telephoto fixed focal length lens using a fast maximum aperture of f/1.2 currently in development, the number of available lenses will be nine.
