Nikon's legendary ultra-wide zoom — constant f/2.8 from 14-24mm, a reference optic that defined a generation.
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G IF-ED launched in 2007 and immediately established itself as one of the finest ultra-wide zooms ever made. It set a new benchmark for optical quality at extreme wide angles and remained the reference standard for over a decade.
Optically outstanding — remarkably sharp across the entire frame from 14mm to 24mm with exceptional corner performance that stunned reviewers at launch. ED glass virtually eliminates chromatic aberration. Nano Crystal coating controls ghosting. AF-S motor is fast and silent.
Nikon F mount. Bulbous front element — no standard filter thread. Built-in petal hood is fixed and not removable. Weighs 1000g — substantial. Full weather sealing. Minimum focus distance 28cm. IF (Internal Focus) design. Gel filter holder at the rear.
Available used at mid-range prices. The Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S is the mirrorless successor with even better optics and a filter thread. The bulbous front is the main practical limitation — no screw-on ND or polarising filters. Still a magnificent optic that adapts well to Z bodies via FTZ.
