Nikon Micro-NIKKOR 1989 AF FX Micro- 200mm f/4D IF-ED Fixed 200mm
Combining a 200mm focal length with a constant f/4 aperture, it achieves 1:1 macro at a 19.3-inch working distance, using Extra-low Dispersion glass to control chromatic aberration. The long working distance keeps you from disturbing skittish subjects, and internal focusing ensures the lens barrel does not extend during operation. This lens suits field macro photographers who need reach to capture insects and small wildlife without intrusion.
