Nikon 24-85mm f2.8-4D AF Zoom Lens

Optical Characteristics

With a 35mm equivalent focal length range of 36-128mm, this lens offers a wide to short telephoto perspective.

Recommended Applications

*Recommendations are based only on the features necessary to perform the application successfully and do not take into account the relative image quality of different lenses

General use

A basic kit for non-specific photography should cover between 28-300mm

Portraits

Portraits are best shot with focal lengths between 85 and 300mm depending on whether shooting mid-length or close-ups and the amount spacial compression wanted. Depth of field is the most important tool to manipulate and a fast lens will give more scope for creative treatment.

Fashion

Fashion is difficult to define but requires focal lengths of between 28-200mm. Very often capturing movement, a fast focus ultrasonic lens is important.

Technologies

Nikon Super Integrated Coating

Nikons Super Integrated coating multilayer lens coating helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible level.

Nikon Super Integrated Coating achieves a number of objectives, including minimized reflection in the wider wavelength range and superior color balance and reproduction.

Aspherical lens elements

Aspherical lenses virtually eliminate the problem of coma and other types of lens aberration — even when used at the widest aperture. They are particularly useful in correcting the distortion in wide-angle lenses. In addition, use of aspherical lenses contributes to a lighter and smaller lens design.

Internal Focusing (IF)

Nikon’s IF technology enables you to focus a lens without it changing in size. All internal optical movement is limited to the interior of the non-extending lens barrel. This allows for a more compact, lightweight construction as well as a closer focusing distance. In addition, a smaller and lighter focusing lens group is employed to ensure faster focusing.

Distance information

D-type and G-type NIKKOR lenses relay subject-to-camera distance information to AF Nikon camera bodies. This then makes possible advances like 3D Matrix Metering and 3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash.
