A newly developed, high-performance optical system that maximizes the potential of Nikon FX-format digital cameras.
In addition to a new optical design, it utilizes a generous amount of ED lens elements, hybrid aspherical lenses, and large-diameter, high-precision glass-molded aspherical lenses (PGM) to achieve a balance of high resolution and excellent aberration correction.
The use of Nano Crystal Coat reduces ghosting and flare for sharper images.
Dust-proof and splash-proof performance equivalent to that of the Nikon D3 digital SLR camera.
Lens barrel design that emphasizes grip.
High-speed, quiet SWM (Silent Wave Motor) drive system.
Equipped with M/A (Manual-Priority Autofocus) mode that allows instant switching to manual focus even during AF shooting.
Uses an IF system that prevents the lens barrel length from changing when focusing. ■ Specifications ■ Focal length: 14-24mm Maximum aperture: 2.8 Focusing: IF system, SWM autofocus, manual focus possible Lens construction: 14 elements in 11 groups (2 ED lenses, 3 aspherical lenses, 1 Nano Crystal Coat) Angle of view: 114°-84° (90°-61° when mounted on a DX format camera) Number of aperture blades: 9 (circular aperture) Minimum aperture: 22 Minimum focusing distance: 0.28m (at focal length 18-24mm) Maximum magnification: 1/6.7 Mass (weight): approx. 1000g Maximum diameter x length: approx. 98 x 131.5mm (from tip to bayonet reference plane) Filters: Not attachable Accessories: Semi-soft case CL-M3 Hood: Fixed
