Nikon’s new lens lineup visualization tool

by Veit on 12/08/2009

Nikon released a Lens Positioning Map, which graphically represents their Nikkor lens lineup. Thom Hogan has a very good analysis on his site about the holes in Nikon’s lens lineup based on this information and what lenses he thinks Nikon will release next to plug these holes.

Nikon's Lens Lineup

The tool itself is written in Flash and depicts lenses by focal lenght (X-axis) and aperture (Y-axis). The lenses themselves are represented by a spot, a bar or a rectangle; depending on whether we are talking about a prime, a zoom with a fixed maximum aperture or a zoom with variable maximum aperture. Filters on top allow you to narrow down the selection.

Please note that the Flash animation only worked on my Windows machine; it did not work in any of my browsers on my Mac despite running the latest version of Flash for MacOSX.
