AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm
f/2.8G ED
- Specially
designed and optimized for Nikon digital SLRs
- Full-frame
fisheye images with a picture angle of 180°(diagonal)
- High
optical performance by ED glass elements
- Focuses
down to 0.14m/0.46 ft.
Ultra
wide picture angle of 180 degrees on DX sensor achieved by producing a
smaller image circle (the size of the image that is projected by the
lens on to the sensor) enabling smaller lens diameter, lighter weight
and optimal image quality from center-to edge-to-corner on the image.
Minimum
focus distance of 0.14m (5.5 in.), or 0.03m
(1.2 in.) from the lens front, makes extreme close-ups possible.
Equivalent to
16mm focal length on 35mm.

f4G IF-ED (2.0x)

SWM for ultra-fast, ultra-quiet AF operation
- High
optical performance by aspherical lenses and ED glass elements
- M/A mode
for quick switching between autofocus and manual operation
- Lightweight
and compact design
Now this
is an incredible lens. There was a lot of talk about Nikon
DSLRs not being viable professional cameras for commercial
photographers because they lacked true wide angle lenses. Well Nikon
now has some true wide angle lenses specifically designed for their
DSLRs. The DX designation is for lenses that are designed to be used
with 23.7 x 15.6 mm digital image sensors.
These sensors are 30% smaller than the image size 35 mm cameras are
based on. Therefore a lens optimized for this image sensor size can be
smaller and lighter in weight than the same lens designed for the
larger 35 mm film size. Nikon has come out with a range of DX lenses,
the Nikkor 12-24 mm being the first to reach the market.
Although I really expected to fall in love with this lens,
not the Nikkor 24-120, the opposite of course happened. I would still
consider this lens to be absolutely essential equipment for a Nikon
DSLR
photographer though because when you run out of room to back up there
is only one answer, and that is a wider lens.
When shooting room interiors or houses there is no way to get
everything in the picture (a basic requirement) without this lens.
Equivalent to 18-36mm
focal length on 35mm.
