Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED DX AF-S Nikkor

I've had this lens for three years now and it is the lens that is on my camera most of the time. I've taken lots of pictures with it ranging from landscapes to indoors and as a travel walk around. I find it to be sharp and well built - no regrets here.

Sharp; solid build

flare; distortion but fixable

This 10-24mm lens, offers an expansive focal range, giving a 15-36mm equivalent (after Nikon's 1.5x crop factor). You'll get a variable aperture range of f/3.5-4.5 and the Nikon 10-24mm also offers Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM) which supplies quick, responsive and silent focus with the motor also...

The Nikon Nikkor AF-S 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED DX shows little externally difference from the previous 12-24mm version, both being the same size and carrying the same headline specifications; AF-S, IF, DX, with aspherical profiles and ED glass.

Alternative option for Nikon users

Slightly too costly

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED Lens AFS10-24 F3.5-4.5 review

Nikon has done well with its new ultra-wide angle zoom lens: it's a sharp lens, with corners that don't get significantly soft. CA performance is good, probably excellent on a D3, D300 or other Nikon body that employs CA reduction.

Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED Review

The Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED ($1,080 direct) delivers the widest angle of any zoom lens for Nikon's APS-C D-SLR camera system. It delivers a field of view that's equal to a 15-36mm lens in traditional 35mm photography. Shooting at a 15mm angle isn't for everyone, but if you're a fan of an ultra-wide perspective, it's a lens to consider adding to your Nikon kit. The lens is impressively sharp in the center, but it's not perfect; the edges suffer unless you narrow the aperture, and there's quite a bit of barrel distortion at the 10mm focal length. Also, it's on the pricey side if you're the type of photographer who doesn't often shoot wide. There's no quibbling with the build quality. It's as solid as other modern Nikkor lenses with a metal lens mount and a tough polycarbonate barrel, with rubberized rings for manual focus and zoom adjustment. The 10-24mm itself is rather squat and wide, measuring about 3.4 by 3.3 inches (HD). It weighs in at just over a pound and...

If you're a fan of an ultra-wide perspective, the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED lens delivers, but you'll need to narrow its aperture to improve edge sharpness.

Ultra-wide field of view; 2.4x zoom ratio; Excellent center sharpness

Pricey; Image quality suffers at the edges of the frame; Noticeable distortion at 10mm
