The Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens is
designed for the APS-C sized sensor found on many Nikon cameras, but
this lens may be used on certain full-frame models utilizing a special
function of the sensor. As it stands, this lens will project an angle of
view that is the equivalent of a 15-36mm lens in the FX or full frame
24x36mm format.
The primary user of a lens such as the 10-24mm Zoom-Nikkor will be one
who finds standard kit lenses not quite wide enough for their tastes
when photographing landscapes or interior views. An added benefit of
wide angle optics is their ability to focus extremely close for a unique
perspective on macro objects as close as 9.6" (24cm).
This ultra-wide angle lens incorporates some of the best of Nikon's
technical accomplishments in optical engineering. Each 10-24mm lens is
comprised of two extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses with no fewer than
three aspherical lens elements. Nikon coats their glass with their own
Super Integrated Coating that makes light transmission more efficient.
Focusing is facilitated by a speedy yet muted, AF-S Silent Wave Motor
augmented by internal focusing design that eliminates changes in barrel
protrusion. Full time manual focusing override is available with a M/A
focusing switch.
Note! DX lenses are NOT recommended for use with 35mm film or "full-frame" digital SLR cameras
- Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass Elements
-
For superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration.
- Three Aspherical Lens Elements
-
Aspherical lens elements virtually eliminate coma and other
types of lens aberration, even when used at the widest aperture.
- Internal Focus (IF)
-
Design allows faster, smoother autofocusing and eliminates changes in lens barrel length for consistent handling.
- Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC)
-
Enhances light transmission efficiency and offers superior color consistency and reduces flare.
