Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED Lens

Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED Lens
Professional APS-C Ultra-Wide Zoom – Constant f/4 Aperture, Silent Wave Motor, Aspherical & ED Optics (Includes Front & Rear Caps, Hood / Zoom Ring Rubber Oxidation Wear)

The Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED is a professional ultra-wide-angle zoom lens engineered specifically for DX-format Nikon F-mount DSLR cameras. Providing a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 18-36mm, this lens features a constant f/4 maximum aperture across its entire zoom range, making it a reliable tool for landscape, architectural, interior, and real estate photography.

Optically, the lens incorporates three precision aspherical elements and two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements to minimize distortion, spherical aberrations, chromatic fringing, and color bleeding across the frame. Individual optical elements feature Nikon’s Super Integrated Coating (SIC) to suppress internal reflections, lens flare, and ghosting under direct sun or strong interior backlighting. Powered by a Silent Wave Motor (SWM) and an Internal Focus (IF) mechanism, it delivers fast, quiet, and precise autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override without altering the physical overall length of the lens during operation.
