Description — Nikon 24mm f/1.4 G ED RF Asph
The Nikon Nikkor AF-S 24mm f/1.4 G is a full-frame prime lens mounted on the Nikon F system, targeting professional and advanced DSLR photographers who need a fast wide-angle option. The f/1.4 maximum aperture is the headline specification, allowing a significant amount of light to reach the sensor and enabling selective focus work even at 24mm. The lens covers the 24mm focal length — a versatile wide-angle that suits a broad range of subjects from interiors to street photography.
Autofocus capability is confirmed in the specifications, complemented by a manual focus option for situations requiring precise hands-on control. The 77mm filter thread aligns with a widely used professional standard, simplifying filter use for photographers already invested in that size. At 620g, this is a substantial lens that reflects its full-frame, fast-aperture design.
It is worth noting that image stabilization is not present in this lens, as confirmed by the specifications. The lens is designed for DSLR camera systems using the Nikon F mount.
