PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Retaining a similar revised optical design that first adopted in 1976, the 43-86mm has an Ai lens coupling system added during the general Nikkor lens updating program in 1977. Another easy lens identification was the lens data that previously imprinted inside the filter rim was now engraved at outer rim of the focusing ring section. Secondly, as with physical appearance of other Ai lenses, the aperture ring has a diamond-ridged pattern with ADR scales while design of the grip on focusing ring was also being updated with a more modern Nikkor zoom lense look and feel. Most seasoned Nikon photographers would believe Ai version onwards may be a better investment if compared as the revamped optical design could has various optical aberrations sufficiently corrected for various subject-to-camera distances, and the lens produces the sharpest images at about the 3m (10 ft) range, the most usual subject-camera distance. The NIC lens coating may has also contributed to its high image contrast and faithful color reproduction

Medium Format
Medium format refers to the size of your roll of film (or if you’re talking digital, it’s the size of the camera sensor). It really just means that you are shooting on a bigger piece of film than you do with a 35mm camera. The increased size of medium format film means a much larger negative. This will give you finer details and less grain.
Choosing your Right Medium Format Camera
Twin Lens Reflex (TLRS)
TLRs use two objective lens of the same focal length. The photographic objective lens is the one that is used to take the picture. The other lens, called the view lens, is connected to the viewfinder. Most TLRs are fixed focal length, and the more expensive models may incorporate a rudimentary room function. Most TLRs use a leaf shutter system, resulting in high speeds, quiet operation and low shutter vibration. There are also close-up, wide angle and telephoto adapters for TLRs.
Some popular TLRS cameras are: Yashica MAT-124G, Rolleiflex 2.8F, Minolta Autocord and Mamiya C330
Rangefinder
Rangefinder cameras are medium format cameras with a range finder. This negates the waistline, viewing that most TLRs carry. They are also much smaller than TLRs, and allow for easier point and shoot photographs. They tend to have limited focusing ranges, and do not have lenses larger than 180mm or 200mm. Rangefinders are quieter and easier to focus in dim light. They are mostly fixed lens models, but higher range models also provide for interchangeability.
Some popular rangefinder cameras are: Fujica G690, Mamiya 6/7, Bronica RF645, Norita 66 and Pentax 67
