Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S DX review
AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED The newest lens in the expansive
DX-format line-up, AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED provides
photographers the opportunity to capture unique perspectives in a variety
of shooting situations. Compact and lightweight, the new 2.4x Zoom
DX-NIKKOR lens offers a focal length of 10 to 24mm, creating a picture
angle ranging from 109-degrees to 61-degrees (FX-format equivalent of
15-36mm), ideal for a variety of applications including interiors,
architecture and sweeping landscapes. The AF-S DX-NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G
ED lens offers an array of versatile Nikon technologies, including
Nikon’s compact Silent Wave Motor (SWM) technology for quiet, fast
and accurate autofocus performance. An advanced optical formula, featuring
two extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and three aspherical lens elements
renders stunning images while minimizing distortion, a common problem with
ultra wide-angle lenses. A rounded diaphragm opening, combined with the
seven-blade aperture, contributes to the 10-24mm lens’ ability to
capture images with soft background effects. There are also two focus
modes, manual and automatic, with an M/A mode that lets you quickly switch
between the two. Both use an internal focusing (IF) design that enhances AF
speed and eliminates lens barrel rotation and changes to lens barrel length
during focusing. Fully compatible with Nikon’s complete line of
DX-format digital SLR cameras - including the D60, D90, D300 and the D5000
- the AF-S DX-NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED lens enables you to expand your
view in new and interesting ways.
