Product Description
The AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED is the first lens in the new DX Nikkor series. Designed specifically for use with Nikon D1-series and D100 digital SLR cameras, it features ultra-wideangle zoom capability, ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and Nikon?s exclusive built-in SWM (Silent Wave Motor).The lens is targeted at professional and advanced amateur Nikon D-SLR users who demand both the advantages of high optical performance and ultra-wideangle focal range.
The AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED has been developed in response to the growing enthusiasm towards Nikon?s D1-series and D100 digital SLR cameras, and in recognition of the market?s interest in and need for wider-picture-angle high-performance optics for digital SLR photography.
The AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED takes advantage of the current sensor design, using a 23.7 x 15.6mm format which allows D1-series and D100 owners to use shorter focal length lenses to achieve a narrower picture angle.
Compact and lightweight, the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED is an ultra-wideangle 2x zoom lens with focal length starting at 12mm (picture angle with D1-series and D100 digital SLRs is equivalent to that of 18mm lens in 35mm [135] format) for greater wideangle covering power.
The lens incorporates two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass and three aspherical lens elements in a new optical design, effectively minimizing chromatic aberration and significantly reducing distortion.
For fast, quiet Autofocus operation, the lens comes equipped with Nikon?s exclusive SWM (Silent Wave Motor).
And the rounded diaphragm opening makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural.
This G-type Nikkor lens is designed with no aperture rings, and offers easier, virtually mistake-free operation because the aperture does not need to be set to minimum.
Note: We do not recommend use of DX Nikkor lenses with 35mm (135) or IX240 format cameras.
