"Non-manufacturer" — in other words, lenses made by some company other than the camera maker. Also known as "third party" (the "first party" being the company and the "second party" being you — or maybe the other way around; in any case "third" is definitely some other company). If you're looking for lenses for Pentax K mount, for example, lenses made by Pentax would be under the regular section , while those made by Tamron, Tokina, or Sigma would be in the "non-mfg" category. |

They mean zoom lenses or prime lenses not made by the manufacturer of the camera. In other words, a third party lens manufacturer. Examples would be Sigma, Tokina, and Tamron. They produce lenses for Nikon and Canon cameras (among others). |
