This year marks the 80th anniversary of Nikon's coveted Nikkor brand of camera lenses, and the company has served up the following, loving video tribute to how its precious photographic glass is made.

Employees at Nikon have reason to be proud today: they've just surpassed a pretty impressive milestone. Just over a half-century since the company debuted its Nikkor lens line for SLR cameras, it has announced the production of its 75 millionth Nikkor-branded lens.

Since its launch a year ago with the V1 and J1 compact system cameras, Nikon's nascent 1-mount has faced a challenge shared by several of its mirrrorless competitors: a rather limited selection of glass.

Nikon DSLR owners have been longing for an affordable, pro-quality, lightweight 70-200mm telephoto zoom lens -- although affordable is, of course, a relative term.

Of these, an impressive thirty million lenses are AF-S types including Nikon's Silent Wave Motor autofocus...
Remember that massive 6mm f/2.8 fisheye Nikkor lens that went on sale in London last month for a whopping $160,000? Well, the giant lens was eventually sold for that asking price to a private collector via Nikon retailer Grays of Westminster but not before a short video of it was made.
The video, which features this whale of a fisheye lens attached to both a Nikon F Apollo...
We had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn't still April Fool's Day when we saw this one. It's a massive Nikon 6mm f/2.8 fisheye lens and it recently went on sale in London for 100,000 British pounds (about $160,800).
