The lens is made up of fourteen elements in eleven groups, two of which are ED glass, three aspherical. Theres also a "Nano Crystal Coat" which features in all the lenses announced today, its designed to cut down internal reflection within the lens which can be a particular problem with the reflective surface of a digital SLR sensor. | | The ultra wide-angle/fast aperture combination of the AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lens is a world first*, and is highly adaptable for the tight spaces busy professional photographers often find themselves working in. The excellent optical quality of this 14-24mm lens, combined with excellent levels of detail contributes to brilliant, sharp results. | | The AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED measures 98×131.5mm and weighs approximately 1,000g. | | The Nikon AF-S Zoom Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF Lens is an extreme ultra-wide zoom, wide-aperture lens that delivers edge-to-corner sharpness that can surpass that of equivalent fixed focal-length lenses. It features a Nano Crystal coating to reduce the effects of ghost and flare, combined with 2 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements and PGM aspherical lenses that help control chromatic aberrations. These all combine to enhance sharpness and contrast. | | The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) feature provides swift autofocus with superior accuracy and ultra-quiet operation. This G-type lens does not feature an aperture ring on the lens body, resulting in a lighter and more compact lens. Aperture changes are designed to be done via the cameras command dial. | | • Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements and PGM aspherical lenses control chromatic aberrations while enhancing sharpness and contrast. | | • Exclusive Nano Crystal Coat further reduces ghosting and flare for even greater image clarity. | | • Internal Focus (IF) provides fast and quiet auto focusing without changing the length of the lens, retaining subject-working distance through the focus range. | | • Rugged construction and professional-grade dust and moisture resistance. | | • M/A Focus Mode switch enables quick response to changing situations between Auto and Manual focus operation. |
