Its compact, 136g build combined with weather sealing offers exceptional portability and durability that belies its affordable positioning. This lens is best for APS-C Z-mount photographers wanting a lightweight, everyday walk-around prime for street scenes and environmental portraits.

Nikon NIKKOR 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED 12-24mm
Why we recommend this ▼
The constant f/4 aperture across the 12-24mm zoom range, combined with three aspherical and two ED glass elements, delivers consistent exposure and well-controlled distortion for an ultra-wide DX lens. Its Silent Wave Motor provides fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override, and the 465g build keeps it portable for a constant-aperture zoom. This lens is best for Nikon DX-format DSLR users shooting landscapes and architecture who need a reliable, rectilinear ultra-wide perspective without the bulk of f/2.8 glass.
