Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S NIKKOR review
Extreme wideangle, fast aperture lens with a revolutionary optical design.
This remarkable professional lens features a Nano Crystal coating to reduce
the effects of ghost and flare, and delivers edge-to-corner sharpness that
can surpass that of equivalent fixed focal-length lenses.
Autofocus (A) or manual (M) mode can easily be selected with the Focus mode
switch.
Autofocusing with manual override is provided, allowing instant change from
autofocusing to manual focusing.
More accurate exposure control is possible when this is mounted on a Nikon
camera having 3D Matrix Metering capability, because subject distance
information is transferred from the lens to the camera body.
The use of three aspherical and two ED (extra-low dispersion) lens elements
ensures sharp pictures virtually free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing
a 9-blade diaphragm that produces a nearly circular aperture, out-of-focus
images in front of or behind the subject are rendered as pleasing blurs.
The Nano Crystal Coat deposited on some of the lens elements ensures that
fine, clear images can be reproduced under various shooting conditions,
from the sunny outdoors to spotlighted interior scenes.
The closest focusing distance possible is 0.28m (0.92 ft.) at 18mm ?€“
24mm, or 0.3m (0.98 ft.) at less than 18mm.
