Ultra wide picture angle of 180 degrees on DX sensor achieved by producing a smaller image circle (the size of the image that is projected by the lens on to the sensor) enabling smaller lens diameter, lighter weight and optimal image quality from center-to edge-to-corner on the image.

Equivalent to 16mm focal length on 35mm

Minimum focus distance of 0.14m (5.5 in.), or 0.03m (1.2 in.) from the lens front, makes extreme close-ups possible

Close-Range Correction (CRC) provides high performance for sharper images when taking pictures up close

Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass element minimizes chromatic aberration

Design enables a combination of wider angle-of-view with optical characteristics that are optimized for Nikon digital SLR camera sensors

Nikon D-type design provides precise distance information for flash and ambient light exposure processes

Rounded diaphragm to make out-of-focus elements appear more natural

G Type DX Nikkor is designed exclusively for use with Nikon Digital SLR models

Built-in Flower Type lens Hood
