The Nikon 24mm f1.4 is a new fast aperture wide-angle lens designed for creating a beautiful shallow DOF and low-light photography on FX digital SLRs. Packed full of ED and aspherical lens elements, the 24mm f1.4 is probably the closest Nikon aficionados can get to wide-angle optical nirvana…

A new FX wide-angle zoom has just been announced by Nikon and it looks like an absolute corker: The Nikon 16-35mm f4 features 2nd-generation Vibration Reduction, Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass and a Silent Wave Motor (SWM). If you aren’t drooling already, the features list doesn’t end there…

Just in case the new Nikon 70-200mm VR II didn’t have you reaching for the bank manager’s phone number, details of Nikon’s latest pro telephoto lens may tempt you: An AF-S 300mm f2.8 ED VR II Nikkor lens with the latest generation Vibration Reduction and a new A/M focus mode. Because it’s nearly Christmas, Nikon have also released a new 2x teleconverter, the TC-20E III, which has a completely new optical design.

The Nikon 50mm f1.4G sits at the top of the Nikkor 50mm lens pile; currently available alongside the f1.4D and f1.8D versions. The 50mm lens has traditionally been a workhorse for many photographers, so it’s great to see Nikon continuing to update the classic formula with new technology.

This new Micro Nikkor is Nikon’s first DX macro lens, designed for entry-level digital SLR owners who want to jump into the world of macro photography. Just like the Nikon 35mm f1.8G AF-S DX lens released recently, the new 85mm f3.5 AF-S VR DX lens is tailored perfectly to beginners needs.

Hot on the heels of the D300s and D3000 announced recently are two new Nikkor lenses: a completely new 70-200mm f2.8 VR II and an updated 18-200mm f3.5-5.6 VR II. Both of the original versions are hugely popular – and any enhancements are bound to make their successors very tempting…

Nikon have announced a new 35mm f1.8 prime Nikkor lens with autofocus that is compatible with the Nikon D40, D40x and D60 digital SLRs.

This re-designed standard lens can be used on all Nikon FX (full frame sensor) and DX (smaller APS-C sensor) digital SLRs. On DX format digital SLRs, such as the Nikon D60 or D300, the picture angle is equivalent to a focal length of 75mm. This is because DX sensors only use part of the image cast by the lens, therefore cropping the image and narrowing the field of view. This makes the Nikon AF-S 50mm f1.4 an ideal focal length for portraiture.
