Another feature is the Silent Wave Motor. The lens comes with Nikon's Silent Wave Motor (SWM), which is one of the latest technologies. It uses ultrasonic vibrations instead of a gear system.

With the NIKKOR lens, you have access to the focusing mode. It can be used to switch from automatic to manual focus minus the lag time. All you have to do is turn the focus ring on the lens. As a result, one can switch from manual focusing while at the same time looking through the viewfinder.
Only the internal lens shifts when focusing. As a result, the Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 12-24mm F4 G IF-ED does not change in size, while it is being operated. This makes it more compact and it can focus closely on distance. The lens is designed with the symbols IF on the barrel.

The Nikon AF-S DX Zoom 12-24mm f/4G ED-IF Lens Digital Wide Angle Photography
Attached to the Nikon series of D-1 cameras this new 12-24mm zoom is just the ticket for those looking for a true digital wide angle lens. Scalloped hood is standard equipment and protects the lens from flare during normal shooting sessions.
I love wide angle lens and this lens gives me the room I need when working close to subject and to see the big picture. At F/4 it's has enough light to focus in most low light situations and still keep a nice depth of field. Rarely do I need to use manual focus, and in close the lens is still sharp.
- Fast focusing with AF-S
- good size and weight
- A little pricey for an F/4
- Lens hood design seems to be wider than nessesary
The Nikon AF-S 12-24/4 delivers pictures with a dramatic wide-angle effect (18-36mm full-frame equivalent) on Nikon small-sensor digital SLR cameras such as the D40 and D300. The Nikon 12-24 is great for use in landscape photography, photojournalism and, to some extent, architecture.
When you need it, YOU REALLY NEED IT!
I don't use this lense very often, but when I need it, I really need it. It produces fantatic photographs of entire rooms full of people and awsome shots of nature or mountins. The photographs are very sharp, even in low light with my D300 camera.- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
- Must read the manual
