Nikon’s 12-24mm has a constant maximum aperture of f/4 through the entire zoom range, stopping down to f/22. On a Nikon D-SLR with a 1.5x focal length multiplication, it has a 35mm equivalent of 18-36mm, offering plenty of wide-angle coverage.
The lens also features Nikon’s SWM (Silent Wave Motor), which not only means whisper-quiet AF, but D40/40x/60 owners will have full AF capabilities. The front element of the lens doesn’t turn, thanks to internal focus (IF), which is handy if you’re using filters as they won’t spin round unintentionally.
The design puts a zoom ring at the front of the lens, with a manual focus ring at the rear and, as you’d expect for a lens at this price, the build is solid with an excellent finish. No complaints with the performance – in use, the AF is fast and quiet, while the zoom ring is smooth to use.
Expect to pay in the region of £630 for the Nikon 12-24mm f/4G ED-IF AF-S DX.
