Nikon Unveils a Trio of New Wide-Angle Lenses

Published: June 22, 2017 | By: American Luxury Staff

Nikon has released three new wide-angle DSLR lenses for its camera bodies, including a 10-20mm, an 8-15mm fisheye, and a fast 28mm prime with a f/1.4 aperture.

The three new models include two new additions to the Japanese camera company’s premium Gold Ring Series, and a budget model that is intended for new users and amateurs.

The AF-P DX Nikkor 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR is designed for Nikon DX-format (APS-C) DSLR cameras and is especially for entry-level users. The lens comes with a pulse motor for super fast, and yet quiet, autofocusing, which is really useful for shooting high-quality videos. Nikon also claims the focal length is perfect for travel, real estate, group portraits, vlogging, and scenery shots. The 10-20mm lens will retail for $310.

The next-level lenses are the 8-15mm fisheye created with magnesium alloy, and the AF-S Nikkor 28mm f/1.4E ED prime lens that comes with a Nano Crystal Coat.

The 8-15mm fisheye lens is dust and water resistant. Thanks to internal focusing, it is smaller in size than traditional fisheyes, and offers consistent exposure during high-speed picture and video shooting. The fish-eye will cost $1,250 and is already available.

The 28mm prime lens is the top of the pops in the lineup, and joins Nikon’s line of 24mm, 35mm, 58mm, 85mm, and 105mm prime lenses with quick f/1.4 apertures. It’s priced accordingly, at $2,000.
