Wide-angle zoom for Nikon FX and DX

The AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED covers a 114 to 84 degree angle of view on FX sensors and 90 to 61 degrees on DX crop mode. Its constant f/2.8 maximum aperture stays bright across the range, making it suitable for architecture, landscapes and interior work where perspective control matters.

Fixed aperture and internal focusing

The lens maintains f/2.8 throughout the zoom without extending its barrel. Minimum focus distance is .9 feet at the 24 mm end, delivering a maximum reproduction ratio of 1/6.7. Nine rounded diaphragm blades produce smooth out-of-focus rendering, while the minimum aperture reaches f/22 for depth-of-field control.

Front element and hood considerations

A fixed petal hood is built into the design, so screw-in filters cannot be used on the bulbous front element. The lens weighs 1000 g and measures 98 by 131.5 mm, requiring a sturdy tripod collar for stable long exposures. Autofocus relies on a built-in SWM motor compatible with Nikon 1 mount bodies that support AF drive.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 14-24mm f/2.8G ED or a different focal-length version for full-frame architecture work?

This lens covers 14-24mm on FX bodies, giving a 114-84 degree view that suits wide interiors and exteriors; DX cameras crop to 90-61 degrees.

What does the constant f/2.8 aperture mean when I shoot indoors at 14mm?

At 14mm the maximum aperture stays f/2.8, letting in the same light across the zoom range, while the 9 rounded blades keep background highlights smooth.

The mount is listed as Nikon 1 — what does that cap in practice?

The Nikon 1 mount limits use to Nikon 1 series cameras; it will not fit F-mount DSLRs or Z-mount mirrorless bodies without an adapter.
