This page gives the month-by-month top 10 lists of lenses on Nikon cameras as shown by the user data uploads from Reikan FoCal users.
Each month shows the top 10 lenses. The Month Percentage column shows the percentage made up by this lens (of the total Nikon lenses used during this month). The Percentage Change column shows the difference from the previous month (green means the lens is more popular than the previous month, red means it’s less popular and black means it stayed the same. Blue means that it’s a new lens in the top 10 for this month).
Note: A lens is only counted once for each body that it has been used with for any of the FoCal tests. Therefore, if a lens is used for 100 tests in a month on the same body, it is still counted as a single lens for the purpose of these statistics.
