Nikon announces the AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR lens


Nikon officially announced the AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR lens:

  • Support for the 10-20mm*1 range of focal lengths, which allows users to enjoy full-scale ultra-wide-angle photography
  • A compact and lightweight lens that can easily be taken anywhere
  • Adoption of three aspherical lens elements with the latest optical design achieves superior rendering performance
  • A vibration reduction (VR) function that effectively reduces image blur caused by camera shake to a degree equivalent to a 3.5-stop increase in shutter speed (testing based on CIPA standards)*2
  • Adoption of a stepping motor (STM) enables even quieter AF drive operation, making it also ideal for movie recording
  • A focus ring that rotates smoothly for good operational feel with manual focusing
  • A maximum reproduction ratio of 0.17x and a minimum focus distance of 0.22 m (0.8 ft) enable extremely close-up shooting for bold and magnificent expression of the intended subject
  • Angle of view equivalent to that of a 15-30mm lens in 35mm [135] format.
  • At the maximum telephoto position when a digital SLR camera equipped with an APS-C size image sensor is used.
  • Specifications, design, product name and supplied accessories may differ by country or area. Specifications and equipment are subject to change without any notice or obligation on the part of the manufacturer.
  • Sample photos (more here)
