Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S DX Nikkor is a versatile ultra-wide zoom lens designed for Nikon DX-format SLRs, offering creative wide-angle perspectives since its release.

This Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S DX Nikkor pairs a robust optical design of 14 elements in 9 groups with three aspheric elements and ED glass to minimize aberrations and deliver sharp images across the frame.

With a focal length range of 10–24 mm (equivalent to approximately 15–36 mm on 35mm), the lens covers a diagonal viewing angle from 109° down to 61°, making it ideal for landscapes, architecture, interiors and dramatic environmental portraits.

The lens supports both autofocus and manual focus, driven by an internal ultrasonic motor (AF-S) for quick, quiet focusing and smooth switching to manual control. It offers a closest focusing distance of 0.24 m and a maximum reproduction ratio of 0.2x for close-up detail.

Mechanically the lens mounts via the Nikon F bayonet and is compatible with Nikon DX bodies such as the Nikon D5000. It features a seven-blade diaphragm and a compact form factor at 87 mm length, 8.25 cm diameter and 460 g weight, finished in professional black.

Optically the lens provides an effective optical zoom of 2.4x with a minimum aperture range of f/22–29, and a filter thread of 77 mm for filters and accessories. Its build and optics strike a balance between portability and professional image quality.

This lens excels for travel, real estate and landscape photographers who need expansive coverage and reliable autofocus performance. It also performs well for video shooters who benefit from the quiet AF-S motor and broad field of view.
