DX NIKKOR lenses —
distinguishing features
T
he newest addition to
Nikon' s world-class NIKKOR
lens lineup, the DX NIKKOR
series was developed in
response to the demands of
professional and advanced
amateur digital SLR users for
higher optical performance.
AF DX Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G ED*
The popularity of Nikon's digital
SLRs has risen significantly,
and Nikon has answered with
the kind of innovation you'd
expect from a world leader in
optical technology.
N
ikon created the DX
NIKKOR series to provide
Nikon DX-format digital SLR
owners with greater wideangle
covering power. Mounting a
35mm format 14mm widean-
AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED* (2.0x)
gle lens, for example, onto a
digital camera would result in a
picture angle equivalent to that
of a 21mm lens — negating the
benefit of wideangle coverage.
DX NIKKOR, the first inter-
changeable lenses designed
specifically for use with
Nikon DX-format digital
SLRs, give owners wideangle
shooting capability in a com-
pact, lightweight package.
AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR* (5.3x)
N
ikon offers eleven DX
NIKKOR
lenses—various
Zoom-NIKKOR lenses and
the
10.5mm
Fisheye—to
cover a range of shooting situ-
ations. In addition to lenses with
popular zoom ranges, the line-
up includes newer zoom lens-
es with telephoto ranges that
extend up to 200mm (equiva-
lent to 300mm in 35mm for-
mat). The 18-200mm lens
AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED* (3.2x)
offers an astonishing 11.1x
zoom power.
Note: We do not recommend use of DX
NIKKOR lenses with 35mm (135)
