The AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED is a lens manufactured by Nikon for use on Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras. It provides an angle of view on a DX format camera similar to that of a 15-35mm lens on a 135 film format camera.

Nikon Corporation, also known just as Nikon, is a Japanese multinational corporation headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, specializing in optics and imaging products.

The Nikon DX format is an alternative name used by Nikon corporation for APS-C image sensor format being approximately 24x16 mm. Its dimensions are about ²⁄₃ those of the 35mm format. The format was created by Nikon for its digital SLR cameras, many of which are equipped with DX-sized sensors. DX format is very similar in size to sensors from Pentax, Sony and other camera manufacturers. All are referred to as APS-C, including the slightly smaller Canon cameras.

135 is photographic film in a film format used for still photography. It is a cartridge film with a film gauge of 35 mm (1.4 in), typically used for hand-held photography in 35 mm film cameras. Its engineering standard for the film is controlled by ISO 1007.

Introduction

Nikon announced the lens on 14 April 2009,^[2] its predecessor was the Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED.

The AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G is a lens manufactured by Nikon for use on Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras. It provides an angle of view on a DX format camera similar to that of an 18-35mm lens on a 135 film format camera.

Features

10-24mm focal length (approximately equivalent to a 15-35mm lens used on a 135 film format camera)
Compact silent-wave autofocus motor (SWM) with full-time manual override
Nikon F-mount lens exclusively for use with Nikon DX format DSLRs
Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements to reduce chromatic aberration
Aspherical elements to reduce distortion
Super integrated coating (SIC) to reduce flare and ghosts
Internal focusing (IF)

An autofocus optical system uses a sensor, a control system and a motor to focus on an automatically or manually selected point or area. An electronic rangefinder has a display instead of the motor; the adjustment of the optical system has to be done manually until indication. Autofocus methods are distinguished by their type as being either active, passive or hybrid variants.

The Nikon F-mount is a type of interchangeable lens mount developed by Nikon for its 35mm format single-lens reflex cameras. The F-mount was first introduced on the Nikon F camera in 1959, and features a three-lug bayonet mount with a 44 mm throat and a flange to focal plane distance of 46.5 mm. The company continues to use variations of the same lens mount specification for its film and digital SLR cameras.

An internal focus lens is a photographic lens design in which focus is shifted by moving the inner lens group or groups only, without any rotation or shifting of the front lens element. This makes it easy to use, for example, a screwed-in polarizing filter or a petal shaped lens hood. During macro photography, using an internal focus lens reduces the risk of the front of the lens accidentally hitting the subject during focusing as the front element does not move.

Construction

fourteen lens elements in seven groups
three aspherical elements
two ED glass elements^[1]
