The 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens from Nikon is designed specifically for use with Nikon DX format 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.
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: Equivalent focal length in 35mm terms is 18-36mm.
Note: AF-S feature is not supported by certain camera models. Please click here for a list of compatible models.
Note! DX lenses are NOT recommended for use with 35mm, "full-frame" digital, or APS SLR cameras.
