Wide-angle zoom for Nikon DX DSLRs

The Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED is an autofocus zoom lens built for Nikon digital SLR cameras with DX sensors. It covers an ultra-wide to wide focal range with a constant f/4 maximum aperture. Two Extra-Low Dispersion and three aspherical elements correct chromatic aberration and distortion. The Silent Wave Motor delivers quiet, high-speed autofocus. A rounded diaphragm produces natural out-of-focus highlights.

Constant aperture and close focus

The f/4 aperture stays constant across the 12-24mm zoom range, giving consistent exposure from 99 degrees down to 61 degrees picture angle. Close focus is 11.8 inches at every focal length, useful for near subjects with expansive backgrounds. The 11-element, 7-group construction balances sharpness and compact size. The lens measures 3.2 inches in diameter and 3.5 inches long, weighing 1.07 pounds.

DX image circle limits full-frame use

The lens projects an image circle sized for DX sensors, so corners vignette on full-frame Nikon bodies. It lacks an aperture ring, requiring camera-body aperture control. Autofocus depends on the camera's focus motor coupling. The D-type design sends distance data for flash and ambient metering. Buyers needing full-frame coverage or manual aperture rings should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will this 12-24mm f/4 DX lens autofocus on my older Nikon DSLR that lacks an in-body focus motor?

Yes, the built-in Silent Wave Motor drives autofocus on any Nikon DSLR, including bodies without a focus motor.

How can I verify the lens is performing correctly after mounting it on my DX camera?

At 12mm you should see a 99-degree angle of view, at 24mm a 61-degree angle, and focus should lock quietly down to 11.8 inches throughout the zoom range.

What accessories are included in the box and which common add-ons must be purchased separately?

The box contains the lens with front and rear caps; a petal-type hood and screw-in filters are sold separately.
