Nikon FM10 lens

Filed under: Nikon Cameras — admin @ 2:33 pm

The total control the photographer has using the manual Nikon FM10 can be augmented with the many lenses that can be attached on the camera’s bayonet mount.  There are a few things to have in mind to make sure you choose the correct lens when you make your purchase.

Picture angle is based on the focal plane of the lens.  The focal length is the field of view; therefore, a short focal length is found in a 20mm lens and will show more of the subject in front of a camera than longer focal lengths.  A tight crop will occur using something like a 200mm lens.  Variable lengths can be found in telephoto-zoom lenses.  Landscapes come out great using a wide-angle lens.

Perspective is the size relationship in an image with objects near and far.  This is controllable by camera positioning.  The field of view will be compressed with a telephoto lens.  A separation between foreground and background is more evident when using a wide-angle lens.  You can always change the outcome of the perspective in an image by adjusting your aperture settings.

Below are some examples of Nikon FM10 lenses.

AF-S TELECONVERT TC-20E II
This is a 2x teleconverter than can reduce the aperture by two f-stops.  High quality images are produced through the seven-element, six-group lens construction.  This is an autofocus lens with a silent running motor.  100% focal view extension is a product of the TC-20E II.  An excellent choice for all-around photography.

AF-S VR ZOOM-NIKKOR 200-400mm f/4G IF-ED
This is a super telephoto lens that has vibration reduction stabilization, making this the choice for naturalists and sports photographers.  The lens will compensate when the photographer is panning and comes with a switch between auto and manual focus for optimum control.

AF-S VR NIKKOR 200mm f/2G IF-ED
This is a fast-acting telephoto lens with vibration reduction stabilization for low-light action photography.  This lens is great for portraiture, as well.   It also allows for clear focus in the foreground and a soft focused background.  Electronic focusing is a setting available for use, as well as this lens offers chromatic correction.

AF FISHEYE-NIKKOR 16mm f/2.8D
Full-frame images from a wide-angle lens are what this lens has to offer the photographer.  Special effects and close up s add creativity to the image.  180º Fish Eye coverage and high contrast are other features.

AF NIKKOR 14mm f/2.8D ED
For interior, cityscape, and photojournalistic shots, this extra wide-angle lens is the key purchase.  114º picture angles and fast apertures are two more features.  Comes with a butterfly lens hood to aid in lighting.

Reviews for most of these lenses dictate five out of five stars for features, performance, build, and value.  Many of these can be bought as a lens kit for the Nikon FM10, allowing a fantastic range of photographic creativity and art.

When looking for that perfect buy so that your perspective an picture angle is ideal at any given moment, a combination of these lenses, or kit, it the perfect addition to your photographic gear.  Something not to be without, multiple lenses are the only way to go when decking yourself out for complete success while having your freedom of control.  What photographer could pass that up?
