A fast, professional quality 24mm prime lens for landscape and architectural photographers.Claimed as one of ‘the most hotly anticipated lenses in recent memory’, the new AF-S Nikkor 24mm f/1.4G ED lens has been designed for professional reportage and landscape photography. With its large maximum aperture and wide field of view, it features a new optical design that provides high image quality, minimal distortion and excellent edge-to-corner sharpness, especially at wider aperture settings.
A compact, high-performance, large-aperture, single-focal-length lens for professional and advanced amateur photographers.Announced just before Photokina 2008, Nikon’s AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G lens is the latest upgrade to a long series of classic primes and the first new 50mm lens from the company in more than 30 years. As an AF-S lens it is compatible with even entry-level models, such as the D40, D40x and D60 because it supports full autofocusing without requiring a drive motor in the camera body. But it can’t be used on old manual focus film camera bodies.
A fast, high-performance standard zoom lens for Nikon SLR cameras.Released at the same time as the AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED, Nikon’s AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED lens combines versatility with superior optical performance. Both lenses represent a new series of professional lenses designed for Nikon’s 36 x 24mm format DSLRs. Like other G-type lenses, the AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G has no aperture ring, since apertures are set via the camera.
Designed for both ‘full frame’ FX and ‘APS-C’ DX cameras, the new AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm 1:2.8G ED lens is designed to partner the AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm 1:2.8G ED lens we reviewed recently. Capable of covering subjects as diverse as tight portraits and expansive scenes, this lens maintains an f/2.8 aperture throughout the focal length range. Like the 14-24mm lens, it is built to Nikon’s professional DSLR standards with high-quality dust and moisture sealing.
A general-purpose lens that covers a useful focal length range for Nikon’s FX DSLRs.Nikon’s AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6 G IF-ED lens covers a 5x zoom range and provides a suite of convenient focal length settings for owners of the company’s D3 and D700 cameras but is also usable on DX models where the 1.5x crop factor gives it an equivalent focal length range of 36-180mm. Its affordable price tag makes it attractive to amateur photographers.
Nikon’s first ultra wide-angle 16-35mm FX-format compatible zoom lens with built-in vibration reduction technology.The AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR lens provides a lower-priced (though still expensive) alternative to Nikon’s other wide zoom lenses, which are a full f-stop faster. Designed to meet the performance demands of the company’s FX sensor DSLRs, it is also fully compatible with DX-format cameras and has the distinction of being the first wide-zoom lens to include VR II vibration reduction technology.
A fast, high-performance ultra-wide-angle lens for professional architectural and landscape photographers.
A fast, high-performance, wide-zoom lens for professional photographers and photojournalists.Designed for both ‘full frame’ FX and ‘APS-C’ DX cameras, Nikon’s new ultra-wide angle AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm 1:2.8G ED zoom lens offers a combination of speed and performance that will suit professional photographers and photojournalists. The f/2.8 aperture is usable throughout the focal length range as is the closest focusing distance of 28 cm. On a DX-format Nikon body like the D300 we used for this review, this lens covers a focal length range equivalent to 21-36mm.
An affordable telephoto zoom lens for Nikon’s DX-format DSLR cameras.Designed as a second lens for DSLR kits, the AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED offers an affordable option for owners of Nikon’s DX-format bodies who want a medium tele zoom lens. Compact and light in weight, this lens is made almost entirely from plastic – right down to the mounting plate. Fortunately, overall build quality is good for a plastic lens and, coupled with the 18-55mm kit lens, buyers will get a very useful range of focal lengths without adding much weight to their equipment.
The standard kit lens offered with Nikon’s new D5000 DSLR camera body.Nikon has matched Canon in offering a stabilised lens as the kit lens with its latest DSLR camera, the D5000. The AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6G VR lens covers a focal length range equivalent to a 27-82.5mm lens on a 35mm camera. Equipped with a Silent Wave Motor drive and built-in Vibration Reduction (VR) technology, this 3x zoom lens will focus down to 28 cm across the entire zoom range.
