Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24mm f/1.4G ED - Nikon F Mount

The AF-S Nikkor 24mm f/1.4G ED is a professional-grade wide-angle lens featuring a fast maximum aperture, two ED glass elements, and Nano Crystal Coat to reduce flare. It is designed for full-frame Nikon F-mount DSLRs, providing exceptional low-light performance and shallow depth-of-field control for a wide focal length. The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) ensures quick and quiet autofocus, making it a staple for reportage and landscape photographers. When purchasing used, the Silent Wave Motor should operate without any high-pitched squeaking, which can indicate future failure. We test the autofocus accuracy at f/1.4, as slight misalignments are more noticeable at wide apertures. SDS checks the rubber zoom and focus rings for any loosening or whitening. The rear mount should be secure with no play, and the internal optics should be clear of haze or fungus.
