The AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED is an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens built exclusively for Nikon DX-format DSLRs, delivering a 35mm-equivalent focal range of roughly 15-36mm. At its widest 10mm setting, it captures an expansive 109° angle of view, making it well suited for landscape, architecture, interior, and creative wide-angle photography where a broad field of view is essential.
The optical design comprises 14 elements in 9 groups, including 3 aspherical elements and 2 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements, which work together to minimize distortion, chromatic aberration, and coma throughout the zoom range. Nikon's Super Integrated Coating is applied to suppress flare and ghosting, helping maintain contrast and color fidelity even in backlit or high-contrast scenes.
Autofocus is driven by a built-in Silent Wave Motor (AF-S), providing fast, quiet, and accurate focusing along with full-time manual focus override for fine-tuning at any time. The lens focuses down to 0.24m in AF mode (0.22m in manual focus), achieving a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:5. A 7-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to smooth, natural background blur despite the lens's wide-angle nature.
Physically, the lens is compact and travel-friendly, measuring about 87mm in length and 82.5mm in diameter, weighing approximately 460g, and accepting 77mm filters. It uses Nikon's F-mount and is compatible exclusively with DX-format camera bodies (not full-frame FX cameras). Overall, this lens is a popular, well-regarded choice for DX shooters seeking an affordable, high-quality entry into ultra-wide-angle photography.
