(From Nikon lens literature) Perhaps one of the most hotly anticipated lenses in recent memory, the new AF-S NIKKOR 24mm ƒ/1.4G ED lens blends a natural yet versatile 24mm perspective with an ultra-fast ƒ/1.4 aperture to expand an existing collection of well over 60 NIKKOR interchangeable lenses. The ƒ/1.4 maximum aperture allows photographers to shoot handheld in low light and provides dramatic separation between subject and a softened background. In a wide variety of photographic situations, both FX and DX-format shooters will enjoy the benefits of extra-bright ƒ/1.4 viewing, superb image quality and the dramatic perspectives afforded by a picture angle of 84 degrees (61 degrees when mounted on a DX-format body).
The ultra-fast AF-S NIKKOR 24mm ƒ/1.4 G ED lens will be available in late March 2010 for estimated selling price of $2199.95
