Nikon F

The Nikon F camera, introduced in 1959, was Nikon's first SLR camera. It was one of the most advanced cameras of its day. Although most of its concepts had already been introduced elsewhere, it was the first camera to combine them all in one camera. It was produced until October 1973 and was...

A single-lens reflex camera is a camera that typically uses a semi-automatic moving mirror system that permits the photographer to see exactly what will be captured by the film or digital imaging system, as opposed to pre-SLR cameras where the view through the viewfinder could be significantly...

-lenses designated with AF-S (introduced 1996) and the older AF-I (introduced 1992) fully autofocus on these cameras. Other manufacturers have different or no designations for lenses including a focus-motor. AF Lenses without an autofocus motor do work fully, but lack autofocus-function on these cameras. Instead an electronic rangefinder

can be used to find focus. Listed here are nearly all recent autofocus-lenses, because all manufacturers except Tokina have included focus motors in their Nikon-compatible lenses for years.

On July 13, 2011 the list is supposed to be complete, including 146 past and present lenses with 24 compatible teleconverters as well as 3 lens extension tubes

Extension tube

An extension tube is an accessory for cameras with interchangeable lenses, used primarily for macro photography. The tube contains no optical elements; its sole purpose is to move the lens farther from the image plane. The farther away the lens is, the closer the focus, the greater the...

Lens nomenclature

The sequence of lens designations may differ in literature.

Nikon AF-S/Sigma HSM/Tamron USD: The lens contains an integrated ultrasonic focus motor

, which enables quiet autofocus operation. All Nikon zoom AF-lenses have focal length encoders added.
Nikon AF-I: The lens contains an integrated focus motor. This type was produced from 1992 to 1996 and is rarely seen. No designation for Sigma/Tamron/Tokina.
Nikon DX/Sigma DC/Tamron Di-II/Tokina DX: Denotes a lens that is designed for APS-C

DSLR sensors. Use of this lens on a full-frame (FX) sensor will likely cause vignetting
Vignetting
In photography and optics, vignetting is a reduction of an image's brightness or saturation at the periphery compared to the image center. The word vignette, from the same root as vine, originally referred to a decorative border in a book. Later, the word came to be used for a photographic...

. All full-frame Nikon DSLRs are able to detect DX lenses and crop the image accordingly.
Sigma DG/Tamron Di/Tokina FX: A lens for fullframe DSLRs (FX) or analog film. No special designation for Nikon NIKKOR. All fullframe lenses can be fully used on DX DSLRs with the advantage of reduced vignetting.
Nikon VR/Sigma OS/Tamron VC: Optical image stabilization, also called Vibration Reduction, indicated green background, a system used to compensate for vibration and other camera movement.
Nikon D: The lens is fitted with a digital sensor

A sensor is a device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument. For example, a mercury-in-glass thermometer converts the measured temperature into expansion and contraction of a liquid which can be read on a calibrated...

that tells the camera the distance at which it is focused, to allow for better exposure calculation.
Nikon G: The lens is not fitted with an aperture ring, and is thus incompatible with some very old Nikon film SLR bodies. All G-type lenses are also D-type.
All IF: The lens utilises an internal focus mechanism, which does not extend or rotate the front optical element.
Nikon ED/Sigma APO/Tamron (X)LD: Indicates that the lens is fitted with Extra-Low Dispersion glass, which aids in reducing chromatic aberration
Chromatic aberration
In optics, chromatic aberration is a type of distortion in which there is a failure of a lens to focus all colors to the same convergence point. It occurs because lenses have a different refractive index for different wavelengths of light...

Lens flare
Lens flare is the light scattered in lens systems through generally unwanted image formation mechanisms, such as internal reflection and scattering from material inhomogeneities in the lens. These mechanisms differ from the intended image formation mechanism that depends on refraction of the image...
