Best Pick

Canon NIKKOR AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED 12-24mm

35.9 Score
12-24mmf/22Nikon F
Why we recommend this

The constant f/4 aperture across the 12–24mm zoom range, with three aspherical and two ED elements, ensures sharp ultra-wide shots with well-controlled distortion. Its quiet AF-S motor and a 77mm filter thread add creative flexibility, while the 88g build keeps it exceptionally light for an ultra-wide zoom. Best for street photographers on Nikon DX bodies who need a portable perspective that excels at wide-angle scenes, though it performs poorly for macro work.
