Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4G ED Lens
The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4G ED is a legendary, gold-ring professional wide-angle prime lens engineered for Nikon F-mount cameras. Combining an expansive, dramatic field of view with an ultra-bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, this masterclass lens is highly coveted by photojournalists, landscape artists, astrophotographers, and environmental portrait creators. By blending a sophisticated extra-low dispersion and aspherical glass layout with Nikon’s elite Nano Crystal Coating, it delivers breathtaking edge-to-edge resolution, staggering low-light performance, and a unique shallow depth-of-field character that transforms everyday wide-angle frames into cinematic masterpieces.

CONDITION & ACCESSORIES NOTE
Fully Functional Capsule Kit: This professional prime lens has been comprehensively bench-tested and is operating with flawless optical and mechanical precision.

Accessories Included: Ships complete with standard front and rear lens caps to keep the glass elements protected.

Missing Accessory: Please note that the original plastic lens hood is not included with this listing.

Ultra-Fast f/1.4 Aperture & Wide-Angle Versatility
Bright f/1.4 Maximum Aperture: Exceptional low-light gathering capability permits faster shutter speeds and lower ISO settings in dim indoor venues or during nighttime astrophotography. The ultra-wide aperture grants rare control over your depth of field, allowing you to melt away backgrounds for high-impact wide-angle separation.

Universal Sensor Coverage: Perfect for full-frame (FX) Nikon DSLRs and film bodies where it acts as a premier wide-angle workhorse. It can also be deployed seamlessly on DX-format crop sensor bodies, where it provides a highly practical 36mm equivalent field of view ideal for street documentary photography.

Elite Optics & Ghost-Repelling Coatings
Two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) Elements: The premium optical architecture utilizes two ED glass elements to systematically eliminate secondary chromatic aberrations, color fringing, and optical bleeding, guaranteeing supreme color neutrality.

Two Aspherical Lens Elements: Outfitted with two precision-ground aspherical elements to rigorously combat spherical aberrations, astigmatism, and geometric sagittal coma distortion, maintaining uniform edge-to-edge resolution even when shooting wide open.

Nano Crystal Coating Layer: Glass elements are treated with Nikon’s advanced microscopic Nano Crystal Coat. This multi-layered crystalline layer actively neutralizes internal reflections and surface ghosting, preserving deep contrast and vivid color saturation when shooting directly into harsh sunlight or stadium spotlights.

Silent Wave Motor & Rear-Focusing Ergonomics
SWM (Silent Wave Motor) Autofocus: Driven by a premium internal Silent Wave Motor that delivers instantaneous, whisper-quiet, and surgically precise autofocus tracking. This near-silent operation makes it an excellent option for tracking sensitive wildlife or capturing audio-conscious video clips.

Rear-Focusing (RF) Mechanism: Designed with an advanced rear-focusing layout where only the rear internal glass cluster moves during operation. This ensures the lens maintains its constant physical length during focus adjustments, boosting overall AF tracking speeds.

Instant M/A Manual Override: Features Nikon’s professional M/A focus mode framework. Photographers can instantly override the active autofocus servo simply by rotating the manual focus ring—with zero time lag or switch flipping required.
