Nikon 1442 1442 Normal Macro 55mm f/2.8 Micro Nikkor AIS Manual Focus Lens Details:

The 55mm f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor is an exceptionally versatile lens. Its f/2.8 maximum aperture is fast enough to make it useful as a general photography normal lens. That same maximum aperture also improves the users ability to focus when doing macro applications. It produces an exceptionally sharp and clean looking image, at all apertures, from f/2.8 to f/32. This lens focuses to a ratio of 1:2 in standard form. This means the lens can represent an item on the film at exactly 1/2 its actual size. It is possible to increase this to 1:1 (life-size) with the optional PK-13 extension tube. Greater magnifications are possible by using the 55mm f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor on a bellows focusing assembly. This is a well-made, lightweight lens that produces professional quality images. It accepts 52mm filters and Nikons HN-3 lens hood. The hood is only necessary when using filters because the front element is deeply recessed and quite shaded as is.

Wide Angle Lenses



wide angle



Wide angle lenses are ideal for photographers who want to capture all of the scenery in front of them.

Perfect for all applications:

  • Cityscapes
  • Outdoor Panoramas
  • Room Interiors
  • Group Shots
  • Sporting Events
  • Surveillance
  • Travel
  • Wildlife Nature Photos

    Dont just take a picture of the corner, show the whole room without that ring like effect fisheyes give! Installation is a breeze, so youre only moments away from a monster field of vision.

    Not only does it make it easier to shoot because you dont have to worry as much about exposure and focus, the shots look really cool. People want to see people; close-ups of faces and heads. Corrected Wide Angle lens allows you to get really close, filling up the frame with the whole family in one shot.

These lenses can capture virtually everything that your eyes see in front of you - from the ground at your feet to that mountain in the distance.This is why they work well for landscape photographers who really want to draw the viewer into the photograph.

They also work well for anyone who photograph indoors a lot, since you don't have a lot of working room. Let's say you want to photograph an entire room full of people - the only way to do it is to back into a corner and use the widest angle lens you can get.



Standard Lenses



standard lensStandard LensPortrait


Standard lenses are great for a wide range of photographic subjects, but excel at portraits. The standard lens has a focal length about the same as the diagonal measurement of the film with which it is used. The angle of view with this lens-film size combination is roughly the same at a given distance as the angle that the human eye sees clearly. For a 35mm film camera (or a full frame DSLR), the 50mm lens is considered standard.

The standard lens is great for street photography and works well for certain styles of portraiture and even fashion.Lenses in the 50mm to 75mm range create natural-looking portraits without the facial distortion that you get using a wide angle lens. Four key things combine to differentiate the standard lens from all other lenses:

  • standard lenses are prime (fixed focal length),
  • they are usually extremely sharp,
  • they have a wide maximum aperture (f1.4 ), which means you can achieve shallow depth of field and handhold in extremely low light
  • they show minimal distortion and provide a 'natural' looking perspective, close to the way the human eye sees


Telephoto Lens Use

Telephoto lenses also work well for portraits but also cause some distortion: the longer the focal length of a lens, the more it compresses the visual space. This means that it's harder to tell the distance between objects when you use a telephoto lens. Telephoto photos just have less depth and three-dimensionality than lenses with wider focal lengths. What are they really good at? Getting you up close and personal with subjects that are far away.

  • Concerts
  • Portraits
  • Getting Up-close
  • Sporting Events
  • Surveillance
  • Safari Drives/ or Zoo's
  • Telephoto lenses offer the photographer the opportunity to zoom in on a scene’s detail without moving closer to the subject. This technique is especially important if safety risks or security measures prevent photographers from moving closer to the action. Sporting events, music concerts or secret affairs are all common situations in which a telephoto lens is commonly used. Similarly, wildlife, such as African lions or frogs in the Rainforest, is also a typical subject for which photographers use telephoto lenses
