Nikon AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED

A Legendary Ultra-Wide Zoom
The Nikon AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED is a professional ultra-wide-angle zoom for Nikon F-mount full-frame cameras. It is widely known for its exceptionally sharp rendering, strong contrast, and excellent control over distortion and flare. The constant f/2.8 aperture makes it useful for landscapes, architecture, interiors, events, and night photography.

Built for Demanding Work
This lens uses 14 elements in 11 groups, including two ED glass elements and three aspherical elements. Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat helps reduce ghosting and flare, especially in backlit scenes. Internal focusing and a Silent Wave Motor give it fast, quiet autofocus, while the rugged, weather-sealed build makes it suitable for professional field use.

Very Wide Perspective
Its 14-24mm range gives you an extremely broad field of view, with a 114-degree angle at the wide end. That makes it especially effective for dramatic landscapes, tight interiors, and creative perspective work. The lens also focuses as close as 0.28m, which adds some flexibility for foreground-heavy compositions.

Practical Notes
One important tradeoff is the bulbous front element and built-in hood, which means it does not accept standard screw-in filters. It is also relatively large and heavy at about 1,000g. Even so, it remains one of Nikon’s most respected wide zooms for photographers who want top-tier optical performance.
