Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED Review
Since their image circles do not need to cover the entire traditional 35mm film area (24×36mm), these DX lenses are less expensive to produce and can be smaller. Sometimes they can also cover a wider zoom range.
The first DX lens Nikon introduced was the AF-S 12-24mm f/4G, which helps DX DSLR users regain the super-wide angle of view. It has been very popular among landscape, building interior, and wedding photographers as well as anyone who needs a wide lens. Since then, several third-party lens manufacturers such as Sigma, Tamron and Tokina have produced various 12-24, 11-16, and 10-20mm DX-type lenses. In such super-wide range, each extra 1mm will make a noticeable difference. The new AF-S 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 G DX zoom from Nikon helps them push further on the wide end as some of their competition have.
While a very good lens overall, the original 12-24mm f/4 DX is excellent on the long (24mm) end but somewhat mediocre around 12mm. Well known Norwegian Nikon expert Bjorn Rorslett once called it the best 24mm he had tested. However, on the 12mm end, there is noticeable distortion and loss in quality. A few years later in 2007, Nikon introduced the 14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S, which can cover the entire FX (24×36mm) frame and is excellent all the way down to 14mm.
It will be interesting to see whether Nikon manages to improve the overall quality in the 10-24mm to match the 14-24. One welcome news is that while the 14-24mm f/2.8 has a bulging front element so that no filter is possible, the new 10-24mm will continue to accept 77mm filters. Compared to the original 12-24mm f/4, the constant aperture has become slightly variable from f/3.5 to 4.5
