Nikon's classic manual-focus 24mm wide prime — Ai-S with CRC for close-range correction.
The Nikon Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 Ai-S is a manual-focus wide-angle prime from Nikon's Ai-S generation, providing 24mm coverage on full-frame. Like other Ai-S Nikkors, it features precise metering coupling for programmed auto on compatible Nikon bodies.
Optically good — sharp from f/5.6 with CRC (Close Range Correction) improving performance at shorter distances. The 24mm perspective provides useful wide-angle coverage for landscape and architecture. Manual focus with smooth, precise Nikon helicoid action.
Nikon F mount with 52mm filter thread. Approximately 270g — compact. Ai-S coupling for full compatibility with Nikon film bodies and manual metering on digital. Full-frame coverage. CRC system. Minimum focus distance 30cm. Metal construction throughout.
Available used at budget to mid-range prices. Works on Nikon Z via FTZ adapter with focus peaking. The AF Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 and newer AF-S versions are better for AF use. A charming manual wide-angle for deliberate film and adapted mirrorless photography.
