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

Overview

Covering ultra-wide to wide-angle focal lengths, the Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED is a DX-format zoom built for the Nikon F mount, equivalent to 15-36mm in full-frame terms. It suits landscape, cityscape, interior and architectural photography where a broad field of view is essential, and its variable f/3.5-4.5 maximum aperture keeps the lens compact while still offering reasonable flexibility across the zoom range. A Silent Wave Motor drives fast, near-silent autofocus with full-time manual override, making the lens equally comfortable for stills work and video capture where quiet, precise focusing matters.

Inside, three aspherical elements and two extra-low dispersion elements work together to control spherical aberration, distortion and colour fringing, delivering sharp, accurate images from corner to corner. A Super Integrated Coating suppresses internal reflections, flare and ghosting, helping the lens retain contrast and colour accuracy when shooting into strong or backlit light sources. An internal focusing design keeps the barrel length constant during autofocus, and a rounded seven-blade diaphragm rounds out the optical package with a pleasing out-of-focus quality for creative, shallow depth-of-field work.

Sharper Images with Aspherical and ED Glass

Three aspherical elements reduce spherical aberration and distortion, while two extra-low dispersion (ED) elements minimise colour fringing and chromatic aberration. Together they deliver sharp, accurately rendered images with strong corner-to-corner clarity.

Clearer Results in Backlit Conditions

A Super Integrated Coating is applied to individual elements to suppress internal reflections, flare and ghosting. This keeps contrast and colour accuracy high even when shooting in strong or backlit lighting conditions.

Fast, Silent Autofocus with Manual Override

A Silent Wave Motor delivers quick, quiet and precise autofocus, with full-time manual focus override available at any time. An internal focusing design moves only the internal lens groups, keeping the overall lens length constant and helping focusing speed.

Smooth Background Blur

A rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces a pleasing out-of-focus quality, supporting shallow depth-of-field techniques and selective focus for portraits, details and close-up work.
