About the Nikon AF-S DX 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED Lens
The Nikon AF-S DX 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED is a high-quality ultra-wide zoom designed for Nikon's DX-format (APS-C) DSLRs. Its 12–24mm range gives a dramatic wide-angle view – roughly 18–36mm equivalent – ideal for landscapes, architecture, interiors and events. The constant f/4 maximum aperture keeps exposure consistent throughout the zoom range, while the Silent Wave Motor (SWM) delivers fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override. Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and three aspherical elements control distortion and chromatic aberration, and the internal focusing (IF) design keeps the front element from rotating or extending during focusing. A solid choice for DX shooters wanting professional wide-angle performance.

Questions about this model
Is this lens suitable for full-frame Nikon cameras?

No, it does not have Vibration Reduction (VR).
What is the equivalent focal length on a DX camera?
On a DX-format Nikon DSLR, the 12–24mm range gives an angle of view equivalent to approximately 18–36mm on a full-frame camera.
