AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR Primary Featuresultra-wide, ultra-clear:
The AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR, with a 10-20mm1 focal length range, transforms wide, sweeping scenes intoextraordinary visuals.Three aspherical lens elements are packed into a significantly lighter and more compact form correcting distortion and other types of aberrations even at the periphery. NIKKOR’s very own built-in Vibration Reduction (VR) function delivers an effect equivalent to a shutter speed of 3.5 stops faster2 or tack-sharp images and improved on-the-go shooting.
Go up close for dramatic, creative perspectives with the lens’ close-up shooting capabilities, featuring a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.17x and a minimum focus distance of 0.22m3 or exceptional images. Featuring a stepping motor and a smooth focus ring that is easy to control,this new ultra-wide-angle DX-format lens delivers an improved seamless autofocus performance.Embracing remarkable visual narration, the AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VRpresents photographers the perfect blend of technical innovation and performance.
AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED Primary Features
Dare to be different: See faces and places with a dramatic view; 180° incircular and full-frame effects4. The AF-S Fisheye NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5E ED, the first NIKKOR fisheye zoom lens, is a high-performing and versatile lens for creative and elaborate imagery. Edge-to-edge clarity is promised even at a minimum focus distance of 0.16m, which means that photographers can approach their subjects up-close without compromising on quality and detail at the periphery.The lens adopts two aspherical lens elements to effectively reduce sagittal coma flare, enhancing the accurate reproduction of point light sources located at the peripheries, even with the lens’ aperture set to the maximum. Scenic and expressive landscapes are reproduced with sharp and clear rendering, thanks to the inclusion of Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements that minimise colour fringing caused by lateral chromatic aberration. This is paired with Nano Crystal Coat which effectively reduces flare and ghosting, reproducing splendid sunsets easily with the click of a shutter.
Attachment and removal of the lens hood and cap can be done together or separately, enabling quick responses to capture the fleeting moments. Realising the form of a highly agile and durable body, and protected with a fluorine coat for easy maintenance, this new NIKKOR fisheye zoom lens is perfect for the artist looking to challenge visual boundaries.
AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.4E ED Primary Features
Beautiful, broad and brilliant perspectives: The new AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.4E ED presents an ideal 28mm5 focal length for portraits and landscapes, with an angle of view similar to that of a human eye, allowing photographers to reproduce the world as they see it. Incredible optical performance comes to life with the incorporation of two ED glass elements which help to reduce colour fringing caused by axial chromatic aberration. In addition, this lens has three aspherical lens elements to effectively reduce sagittal coma flare, allowing for point light sources at the periphery to be reproduced as point images, even at the maximum aperture. These incorporations translate into high-resolution images stably across the entire frame at any aperture, and natural bokeh characteristics without double line bokeh.
An essential feature of the AF-S NIKKOR 28mm f/1.4E ED, the Nano Crystal Coat not only eliminates ghosting and flare, but acts as an anti-reflective mechanism, removing unnecessary flare from glass or reflective surfaces for defined images. Also equipped with a focus ring that rotates smoothly with just the right amount of resistance, the lens offers a convenient and smooth operation when focusing manually. Complete with a fluorine coat applied to the extreme front and rear lenses to repel dust, water and dirt, this lens is the capable companion that answers the imaging needs of professional photographers and advanced amateurs shooting in both FX- and DX-format*1When attached to a DX-format digital SLR, the effective angle of view is equivalent to that of a 15-30mm lens in FX/35mm (135) format
*2Based on CIPA standards. When a Nikon DX-format digital SLR camera is used. Measured at the maximum telephoto position
*3 AF is available even at a shooting distance of 0.22m
*4The circular fisheye effect provides a maximum 180° wide-angle position vertically and horizontally with FX-format DSLRs. Full-frame fisheye effect is available at telephoto end, but the angle of view is slightly smaller, at 175°.
The full-frame fisheye effect provides a 180° of view from the telephoto end of the lens with FX-format DSLRs and from the DX mark with DX-format DSLRs. DX-mark is the mark on the focal length scale that enables diagonal fisheye shooting in DX format. Angle of view is 180° from wide-angle end to around DX mark (approx. 11 mm on focal length scale), but it gradually becomes smaller as the focal length gets longer
*5when attached to a DX-format digital SLR, the effective angle of view is equivalent to that of a 42-mm lens in FX/35mm (135) format.
