Enjoy a wider angle of view with the Nikon 12-24mm autofocus zoom lens, which is optimized for Nikon digital SLR cameras. The lens offers such features as a 2x zoom ratio, an exclusive Silent Wave Monitor that allows for accurate and quiet high-speed autofocusing, two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for minimized chromatic aberration, and three aspherical lens elements for low distortion. Nikon's D-type design, meanwhile, provides precise distant information for the flash and ambient light exposure processes. Perhaps the nicest feature, however, is the small image circle--the size of the image that's projected by the lens onto the sensor--which produces an optimal image from the center to the edge to the corner. Other details include a variable angle of view from 99 degrees (at 12mm) to 61 degrees (at 24mm), a rounded diaphragm that makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural, and an 11.8-inch close focus distance throughout the zoom range. All Nikon lenses carry a five-year warranty.

And why would I plunk down the money on a great D70 and then cheap out on the lenses? Seems a bit silly. If you want to take great photos with a Nikon, why not go all the way (if you can), I say. Would I like to pay a little less (or maybe even a lot less) for this great lens? Of course I would. But this lens is magnificent and delivers the performance I want. It feels good in my hand and greatly expands my creative options. Plus, it's very well made and I expect it will serve me well for many years to come. Perhaps not for everyone, but it's my extravagance for myself and my hobby (since I can't afford the Maserati).
SO if you can afford it the Nikon is worth every penny (and thanks for the great pricing Amazon!) but if you can't there are other less expensive choices with great specs that can meet your needs and where you can be just as creative! Enjoy!
I performed several days of research before purchasing this lens by surfing the net for reviews and reading articles written by professional photographers. 99% of them gave this lens a very high rating... and after using it myself I can see why. The results of my pictures are worth every hard-earned dollar I spent to buy this lens. I purchased the Nikon D-70 camera and set the intent after spending that much for a camera I deserved great lenses to produce pictures that are inspirational and joyful to view. I am not a professional photographer; I am a serious student of photography who appreciates the art form.
Not everyone will have a need for this lens; however, for those of you who want to expand your tools and you want the best and can afford it, "go for it!'

Top reviews from other countries
kann ich über dieses Objektiv nur Gutes Berichten:
- Knachscharf
- einfach zu bedienen
- hohe Kontraste werden gut bewältigt.
- beeindruckende Bilder in Innenräumen.
- Toll für dramatische Landschaftsaufnahmen
- Auch für Portrais gut zu gebrauchen, wenn die Bilder mal anders aussehen sollen.
- Bildstabilisierung braucht man in der Regel nicht, bei diesen Brennweiten.
Man sollte es allerdings zu verwenden wissen.
Typisch für alle Weitwinkelobjektive ist:
- Direktes Licht in die Linse erzeugt Lensflairs
- Ein bisschen Verzerrung ist normal, aber hier moderat.
- Auch leicht CAs an den Bildrändern sind zu erkennen, aber nur in der 100%- Ansicht zu sehen
und leicht mit entsprechender Software zu entfernen.
- Bei grösseren Entfernungen des Fokuspunktes z.b. bei Landschaftsaufnahmen sollte man manuell scharf stellen.
Dies ist jedoch mehr ein Problem der Kamerafokussierung, als de Objektives.
- Die Verwendung des kamerainternen Blitzes ist durch den Grossen Aufnahmewinkel nicht zu empfehlen.
Wenn man diese Tipps berücksichtigt wird man tolle Bilder machen können.
Ich bin rundherum begeistert!
Denn: Es ist leicht, und ich kann damit von weiten Landschaften über Innenräume bis zu Event-Porträts alles aufnehmen.
Der Brennweitenumfang von 12mm (entspricht 18mm Kleinbildformat) bis 24mm (entspricht 36mm Kleinbildformat) macht das alles möglich.
Zusammen mit der Nikon D5100 trägt man nicht schwer.
Die Abbildungsqualität ist nikontypisch durchwegs sehr gut, bei 24mm exzellent. Ich führe diese sehr gute Abbildungsqualität auch auf das verwendete hochwertige ED-Glas zurück.
Als Polfilter verwende ich B&W KSM 77mm C-Pol MRC, der mit dem Objektiv perfekt zusammenspielt und keinerlei Abschwächungen der Abbildungsqualität nach sich zieht.
Der einzige Wermutstropfen ist der vergleichsweise hohe Preis des Objektivs, aber der ist auf Grund der Qualität des Objektivs durchaus gerechtfertigt.
Also: Volle Kaufempfehlung
