Description

Enjoy a wider angle of view with the Nikon 12-24mm
autofocus zoom lens, which is optimized for Nikon digital SLR cameras. The
lens offers such features as a 2x zoom ratio, an exclusive Silent Wave Monitor
that allows for accurate and quiet high-speed autofocusing, two Extra-Low
Dispersion (ED) glass elements for minimized chromatic aberration, and three
aspherical lens elements for low distortion. Enjoy a wider angle of

Nikon’s D-type design, meanwhile, provides precise distant information for the
flash and ambient light exposure processes. Perhaps the nicest feature,
however, is the small image circle–the size of the image that’s projected by
the lens onto the sensor–which produces an optimal image from the center to
the edge to the corner. Other details include a variable angle of view from 99
degrees (at 12mm) to 61 degrees (at 24mm), a rounded diaphragm that makes out-
of-focus elements appear more natural, and an 11.8-inch close focus distance
throughout the zoom range. All Nikon lenses carry a five-year warranty. Focal
