Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4G ED

Nikon's Ultimate Wide-Angle Lens

By Eric Yang on 4.27.10

Prime lenses are a dangeorusly expensive addiction. From the moment you snap one onto your SLR/DSLR, fire off a shot, and revel in the Barry White smooth BOKEH, you’re hooked. As a matter of fact, just leave the ultra-wide zooms at home. The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4G ED is Nikon’s fastest, wide-angle, FX compatible lens (e.g. D700, D3s). It features Nano Crystal Coat construction with a boat load of glass (two ED and two aspherical lens elements) controlled by Nikon’s ultra-fast silent wave motor. With a max aperture of f/1.4 the NIKKOR’s forté is capturing massive landscapes, architecture, and cramped indoor spaces with an almost technical apathy for ambient light. It practically begs for a Grand Canyon photo run at dusk.

TOKYO – Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the release of the AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4G ED. This is a high-performance lens compatible with the FX format. With a focal length of 24mm, it offers excellent rendering with a fast maximum aperture of f/1.4.
The latest fixed focal-length lens compatible with the FX format, the AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4G ED is an wide-angle lens with a maximum aperture of f/1.4. It offers superior optical performance through exclusive Nikon technologies such as the application of Nano Crystal Coat and construction that includes ED and aspherical lens elements. When the lens is used with an FX-format digital-SLR camera, images that make the most of the fast aperture with large and pleasing blur characteristics can be captured for photos with dynamic perspective. Nikon's development of the FX format, currently consisting of D3-series and D700 digital-SLR cameras, has received tremendous support from professional and advanced amateur photographers. We intend to expand and strengthen the NIKKOR lineup with the steady release of new, high-performance lenses compatible with the FX format.
