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. This helps focus the lens and offers precise autofocus operation. It is an excellent addition for those who take a lot of photos and are seeking high quality results.

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.

Nikon AF-S 12-24mm f/4G ED-IF DX Review
This is a very nicely designed and comfortable lens to use. The zoom ring is furthest forward, has a reassuring high-grip surface and offers just the right amount of resistance so that the lens can be zoomed with a light fingertip touch.- Superb ergonomics
- Slight softness at times
Nikon 12-24mm f/4G DX AF-S
18-36mm lenses have long been many photographers' standard short zooms for full-frame shooting. Here's the equivalent of that range in a 1.5X 35mm lens factor for small-format digital Nikon SLRs only. Small DX image circle allows compact size with constant aperture.
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.
Like a high end L lens or premium nikon

Nikon Wide Angle Zoom ED-IF AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens
Outstanding picture results in all lighting. Works well with build in D40 flash. Can't wait to try with SB-800 flash. Great for indoor Realtor photos for whole room look. Takes good portraits but photo subjects can get nervous at first with camera so close to them. Solid / fast auto focus speed.- Sharp images
- no distortion at 12mm
- fast focus
- wide shape at 77mm, manual focus ring near auto focus ring, minor points here
- Expensive but you get what you pay for in quality photos
