Nikon NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED 24mm
The 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED covers a 15-36mm equivalent ultra-wide range with three aspherical and two ED elements to suppress distortion and aberrations, plus a Super Integrated Coating that cuts flare for better contrast. Its Silent Wave Motor enables fast, near-silent autofocus with full-time manual override, and the lens often ships with a filter kit and cleaning accessories for immediate use. This is best for budget-conscious DX-format shooters capturing sprawling travel scenes, cityscapes, and interiors, though its 40.9 portrait score limits portrait work.
