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

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

Price (MSRP): $920.00
TYPE: Zoom Lens - Ultra-Wide


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. 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.
