43-86mm F (1963-1976)
Nikon 43-86mm f/3.5 F.
The original Nikon 43-86mm is the worst lens Nikon has ever made.
It's worse than the worst, because not only is it terrible by itself, it was so awful that it has tainted the reputation of all other zoom lenses to this day.
What makes it so bad? It's Nikon's softest lens, and is loaded with untold levels of distortion. It also has awful flare and ghosts.
How bad it was! Ghosts everywhere!!! (D3, 43-86mm f/3.5 F at f/8)
When people say zooms aren't sharp, zooms flare, and zooms have a lot of distortion, it is because this horrible lens set these expectations.
The 43-86mm came in two versions. This first horrible version has the lettering inside the filter ring. The later version (1975-1982) is a completely different lens, and is just fine. It has its lettering outside the filter ring.
