Product Overview

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24mm F1.8G ED is a wide-angle prime lens for Nikon F-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Nikon in 2015, it has 12 elements in 9 groups.
Unfortunately, Nikon has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers.
The bright maximum aperture for a wide-angle lens is appreciated for night photography, though some may prefer the perspective of an ultra wide-angle lens for this. Even though the lens is not stabilized, at this focal range it does not usually matter. In fact, some may be able to get cleaner corners without image stabilization.

Reviewers from cameralabs have found:
The new Nikon 24/1.8G is a good lens: It offers a fast f/ 1.8 aperture and performs quite well. Only the borders of the DX image circle are somewhat disappointing. But the competition is tough and you better value for money with a larger f1.4 aperture, and better image quality.
Pros
  • Very good build quality
  • Very fast autofocus
  • Very good image stabilization
Cons
  • Flimsy focus ring
  • No manual focus
