Pairing an ultra-wide range with a constant f/4 maximum aperture, the Nikon 12-24mm f/4G ED Zoom Lensis a versatile 18-36mm-equivalent DX-format zoom suitable for landscape, architectural, and interior subjects. Three aspherical elements and two extra-low dispersion elements are featured in the optical design, which help to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce high clarity and color accuracy. A Super Integrated Coating also controls flare and ghosting to increase overall contrast and color rendering when working in backlit and harsh lighting conditions. Additionally, a Silent Wave Motor provides fast and quiet autofocus performance, along with full-time manual focus override, to benefit both stills and video applications.

A wide-angle zoom designed for DX-format sensors, this 12-24mm lens produces an 18-36mm equivalent focal length range.

Constant f/4 maximum aperture offers consistent performance and light transmission throughout the zoom range.

Three aspherical elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion in order to realize sharp imagery with accurate rendering.

Two extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and color accuracy.

A Super Integrated Coating has been applied to individual elements to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.

Silent Wave Motor affords quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. An internal focusing design is also used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster focusing speeds.

Rounded seven-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this lens work on the Nikon D850 camera ?

A: While the Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED Lens can fit and function on the D850, the image will be cropped and there will be a loss of resolution.

Q: 2. Hi, i am somewhat a beginner/novice/amature, I Have a Nikon D 60, i am wondering how well this lens would work on this camera, for interior/exterior real estate, small groups of people, weddings, mountains, fields, auto dealership show rooms, something wide? Thank YouJim Raymondjrhandy1@gmail.com

A: The Nikon AF-S 12-24mm f/4 is fully compatible with the D60 and would be an excellent option for a wide angle zoom lens. This would be good for interiors, landscapes, and group shots.

Q: 3. Can you notice it doesn't have VR? Wich one is better for real estate photography?

A: The standard rule of thumb is that a safe shutter speed for hand-holding without hand shake is the inverse of the focal length. This suggests that at f/12 one could use a 1/12 second shutter. I probably would not go that slow, but that explains why wide angle lenses like this one usually do not need VR. Also, for real estate photography, flash is recommended, so stable hand-holding should not be an issue.

Will it fit? And if it does fit, will I get any vignetting using the stock lens hood? Thanks!

A: Yes, the included lens hood for the Nikon 12-24mm will fit with a filter attached to the lens. You should not experience vignette with the dedicated lens hood for this lens.

Q: 7. Does this lens require slim filters to avoid vignetting at 12mm?

Q: 10. Looking at this for a gift and I'm know nothing about lenses. I'm wondering on a DX camera is it a true 12-24mm or is it a lens that we have to convert the number for a DX camera?

A: On a DX camera, a lens with a 32mm focal length creates a normal perspective. All that is needed to be done is realize that on a DX sensor camera, this 12-24mm is an ultra wide angle lens. If the person has a lens that has the 17-55mm focal length, (which covers wide-normal-tele quite nicely) then this wide angle lens would be a great addition. For the record, the full frame (or 35mm film) equivalent of this zoom is 18-36mm.
