Nikon F90

The Nikon F90 was produced from 1992 until 2001. She was a semi-professional autofocus SLR for small format films and succeeds the Nikon F801.

As built for professionals Nikon F4 had a slower autofocus, it was until the release of the Nikon F5 in 1996, the Nikon camera with the fastest autofocus. The technical innovation was the introduction of a 3D matrix metering. Matrix metering shared the measuring field in eight zones in which the brightness and contrast is measured. In the 3D Matrix Metering still is added a third parameter - the distance to the subject. This information could be transmitted when using the new D lenses to the microcomputer. This could draw in this way to draw conclusions about the location and distance of the main object and then weight the data of the individual exposure measurement fields accordingly.

With the F90 simultaneously published the first new D lenses, namely the AF Nikkor 28-70mm/3.5-4.5 D, the AF Nikkor 35-70mm/2.8D and the AF Nikkor D ED 80-200mm/2.8.
