Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 10-24mm 1: 3.5-4.5G ED SWM IF Aspherical (I'll call it Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G for short) is a good ultra wide angle lens for Nikon DX cameras. At one time, he became an addition to the professional model. Nikon 12-24mm f / 4G.

Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G gives widest viewing angle of all native Nikon DX classic (diagonal) lenses, its diagonal angle of view at 10mm focal length is 109 °. Of course, if you want to shoot even wider, then only a fisheye lens can come to the rescue. Nikon DX AF Fisheye Nikkor 10.5mm 1: 2.8G ED, but, unlike classical lenses, the fisheye has a prohibitively high level of distortion.

A complete list of Nikon DX series lenses can be found here.

The main differences between Nikon 12-24 / 4 and Nikon 10-24 / 3.5-4.5

Overall, Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G and Nikon 12-24mm f / 4G very similar to each other, the main differences between them:

  • Nikon 12-24 / 4 refers to professional lineup Nikon Nikkor lenses, has a gold ring near the front lens and is on the list of Nikon NPS professional equipment. The Nikon 10-24 / 3.5-4.5 is a common lens for photo enthusiasts.
  • Nikon 10-24 / 3.5-4.5 gives wider viewing angle. The difference between 10 mm and 12 mm of the focal length is felt quite strongly (109 ° versus 99 ° along the diagonal of the frame).
  • Nikon 12-24 / 4 has constant maximum hole 1: 4 over the entire range of focal lengths. Nikon's maximum aperture 10-24 / 3.5-4.5 changes as the focal length changes. Nikon 10-24 / 3.5-4.5 is slightly lighter at the wide end than Nikon 12-24 / 4, but also slightly darker at the long.
  • Nikon 10-24 / 3.5-4.5 has rubber protective seal near the mount, and Nikon 12-24 / 4 does not have (which is rather strange).
  • Nikon 12-24 / 4 has virtually internal zoom (does not change its size during zooming). Nikon 10-24 / 3.5-4.5 changes its size during zooming, but the movement of the trunk of the lens is insignificant and does not greatly interfere with convenience (the difference in size at different focal lengths is shown in the picture below).
  • Nikon 12-24 / 4 has a lot more high price tagthan Nikon 10-24 / 3.5-4.5.
  • Nikon 12-24 / 4 is more old design. Nikon 10-24 / 3.5-4.5 is 6 years younger.

Assembly

Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G is made in China only. To the touch he nice and weightyThe Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G uses large 77mm professional diameter large filters.

The focus ring is plastic, and the zoom lens is rubberized, wide and comfortable. As befits a good lens, the Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G has a metal mount and also a rubber seal near its mount. Thus, the Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G has at least some hint of dust protection.

There is a bayonet mount mark and a mark on the case for quick installation of the hood. The lens uses a plastic hood HB-23, which is fixed in special grooves located near the front lens of the lens. The hood can be installed in the opposite direction for transportation. In this position, access to the zoom ring is practically not lost.

When changing the focal length, the rear lens moves in the middle of the lens body like a pump - it draws in and pushes out air. This behavior of the rear lens is called 'vacuum cleaner effect', which can increase the amount of dust that accumulates in the camera. The trunk of the lens does not spontaneously protrude, the zoom ring rotates a little tight.

In terms of build quality, the Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G is no worse than the more advanced Nikon 12-24mm f / 4G.

Focusing

Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G focuses very quietly thanks to 'SWM'to the motor (Silent Wbird Motor - quiet wave motor) and refers to the lens'AF S'type (with built-in motor focusing), and therefore it will automatically focus on any Nikon digital SLR camera.

Auto Focus Speed ​​- high. While working on cameras Nikon D700 и Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro I had no complaints about the accuracy, tenacity and speed of auto focus.

During focusing, the front and rear lenses remain stationary, as the lens uses internal focusthat is indicated on the case by the letters'IF'-'Iinternal Focus' - 'Inner Focus'.

When changing the focal length the front of the body frame (trunk) wave-wise moves back and forth, but does not rotate around its axis. From 24 mm to 15 mm, the length decreases, from 15 to 10 mm increases again. The maximum lens length is achieved at 24 mm focal length. The movement of the trunk does not cause any inconvenience.

On the lens housing you can find focus switch 'M / A - M'. In the 'M / A' position, auto focus works with constant manual focus priority. The 'M / A' mode is very convenient and useful - for manual focusing or focus correction, you do not need to additionally switch the lens to the 'M' mode.

It’s rather unusual that the lens uses different minimum focusing distance depending on the focus mode. I only saw this in Nikon 18-55mm 1: 3.5-5.6GII VR II... In auto focus mode, the MDF is 0.24 m, and in manual focus mode, 0.22 m, with a maximum magnification ratio of 1: 5. The closest focusing distance is available over the entire focal length range.

Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G has a window with distance scale in meters and feet. The distance scale contains only 3 distance values ​​(0.5, 0.3 and 0.24 m) and "infinity". The focusing distance scale is almost useless. There is no depth of field scale, as well as marks for working in the infrared spectrum. In manual focusing mode, the ring rotates 90 degrees, when reaching the extreme positions it does not rest against it, but continues to slide without affecting focusing.

Diaphragm

The lens uses an aperture of 7 rounded blades. On covered diaphragms, you can get 14 ray stars from point light sources.

There are marks with a focal length on the zoom ring, the following is a list with the minimum numbers F available for these marks:

  • 10 mm - F / 3.5
  • 12 mm - F / 3.8
  • 15 mm - F / 4.0
  • 18 mm - F / 4.2
  • 20 mm - F / 4.5
  • 24 mm - F / 4.5

Like all modern Nikon Nikkor lenses, the Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G does not have an aperture control ring, all control is carried out using the camera controls.

Image quality

The lens is very sharp in the center at any focal length and at any aperture value. The sharpness at the edges and corners is noticeably worse by 10 mm of focal length and F / 3.5. When closing the diaphragm, sharpness at the edges and corners returns to normal. The sharpness at the corners and edges is worse than that of Nikon 12-24mm f / 4G.

10 mm noticeable barrel-shaped distortioninherent in similar wide-angle lenses. 18 and 24 distortion becomes pillow-shaped, and its level is much lower than 10 mm.

The lens tolerates side and backlight well. At the edges and corners of the image are chromatic aberration.

Work on FX cameras

Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G will work correctly with all Nikon DSLR cameras (full list here).

Although the Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G is designed to work with Nikon DX crop cameras, the lens can also be used on Nikon FX full-frame cameras. If you use the 'FX' framing mode for shooting on Nikon FX cameras, then in the focal length range of 12-17 mm it will be noticeably stronger vignetting. In the range of 17-18 mm vignetting small, and in the range from 18 to 24 mm is practically absent. Unfortunately, the edges and corners of the frame in images from a full-size camera in the range from 18 to 24 mm are not sharp and with a large number of chromatic aberrations. Vignetting from a medium-thickness filter disappears in the range of 18-24 mm.

You can download RAW source files by this link (10 files in the '.NEF' format, 115 MB). All photos were shot on Nikon D700 in the 'FX format (36x24)' mode.

Please note that Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G may show built-in flash shadow (The amount of shadow depends on the used focal length and the specific model of the camera, as well as on the lens hood and focusing distance).

My experience and recommendations

I have been using the Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G for 2 weeks, even taking it to several weddings. As it turned out, the Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G is a nice lens, generally no worse than the more expensive one Nikon 12-24mm f / 4G. I think that for a wide-angle lens, every millimeter of focal length plays a role, therefore I would prefer this Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G instead of Nikon 12-24mm f / 4G.

For the money that they ask for Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G, it is better to buy a fast lens Tokina AT-X PRO SD 11-20 F2.8 (IF) DX.

The Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G remains the widest native zoom lens for Nikon DX cameras so far. Everything in it is at the proper level. I did not find any strong flaws during the creation of this review and came to the conclusion that the Nikon 10-24mm f / 3.5-4.5G is very similar to Nikon 12-24mm f / 4G.

UPDATE: May 31, 2017 a new similar lens was released Nikon DX VR AF-P Nikkor 10-20mm 1: 4.5-5.6G.

    It is against the sun. The picture is clear. Such a hare, hardly noticeable. Take photos of a couple of trifles.

      I wonder what camera was? On my 7100, a high-quality picture is also obtained at 5,6 or 8. Here is the whole frame and fragments from the center and right edge:

    Did the interior. Hid three SB-700 in the corners. Then seals suddenly ran in, followed by the owner. Here you have a portrait in the interior. The photo is really cropped.

  • lech

    Distortion removed, naturally slightly cropped.

    I dreamed of making a cool little movie on shirik. I did it, but something was wrong. Probably it was necessary to go up to the butt or to choose a different shooting angle.

    Arkady good afternoon. Thank you very much for the reviews, I drew a lot of useful information from your reviews. In the Nikon 10-24mm review there is a link to Nikon 10-20mm, I want to buy it (and will buy it). but in the description there is an entry that it (10-20mm) is compatible and the list is limitedly compatible and the list is not compatible… .D90. Proceeding from the fact that manufacturers of other companies do not write anything about alignment, and the lenses work, I understand that there will be no automatic distortion correction, some kind of drawback when shooting video. Should the external flash work properly? Should there be a new firmware version in the future? Thanks in advance for your reply.

    “… If you use the 'FX' crop mode for shooting on Nikon FX cameras ..“. I liked the lens from the pictures, I think to buy it. Thanks for your hard work))

      In terms of quality, they are approximately equal, the new one is slightly better, but also slightly darker.
