AF-S DX Zoom- NIKKOR 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED - id-range zoom lens great for architecture and portraiture. It contains a fast maximum aperture for shooting in low light. Lens construction: This lens features two Nikon ED glass elements that lower distortion and minimizes chromatic aberration. Silent wave motor: Nikon's silent wave motor enables ultra-high-speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and powerful super-quiet operation. Focus mode switch: The M/A switch allows for fast transitions from auto to manual focus.

Enjoy a wider angle of view with the Nikon 12-24mm autofocus zoom lens, which is optimized for Nikon digital SLR cameras. The lens offers such features as a 2x zoom ratio, an exclusive Silent Wave Monitor that allows for accurate and quiet high-speed autofocusing, two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for minimized chromatic aberration, and three aspherical lens elements for low distortion. Nikon's D-type design, meanwhile, provides precise distant information for the flash and ambient light exposure processes. Perhaps the nicest feature, however, is the small image circle--the size of the image that's projected by the lens onto the sensor--which produces an optimal image from the center to the edge to the corner. Other details include a variable angle of view from 99 degrees (at 12mm) to 61 degrees (at 24mm), a rounded diaphragm that makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural, and an 11.8-inch close focus distance throughout the zoom range. This is a G lens with no aperture ring.
