35mm Lens

Nikon Europe announces the AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm F4G ED VR, the world’s first ultra-wide angle zoom lens with VR for FX-format cameras. The new lens offers an affordable and practical proposition for general photography with FX-format cameras such as the D700. The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35MM F4G ED VR is the world’s first ultra-wide angle zoom lens to feature Vibration Reduction technology, providing the ability to shoot at shutter speeds up to four stops slower. The application of VR complements the f/4 maximum aperture when shooting in low light. The Nikon 16-35mm lens is scheduled to go on sale on February 19, 2010.

Zurab Kiknadze, Product Manager Lenses, Accessories and Software, Nikon Europe says: "The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm F4G ED VR covers all bases for wide angle shooting and addresses market feedback for a more affordable alternative to the professional AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED or more recent AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED ultra-wide-angle lens".

The new lens’ complex optical design features Nikon’s exclusive anti-reflection Nano Crystal coat, two ED glass elements and no less than three aspherical glass elements to minimize distortion and aberration, even at maximum aperture. The VR II system and Silent Wave Motor on the Nikon 16-35mm lens deliver extremely quiet, discrete operation and the nine bladed rounded diaphragm renders delightful bokeh.

The Nikon 16-35mm F4G ED VR lens balances well with more compact FX format cameras such as the Nikon D700 and is consequently built to withstand the demands of everyday shooting.

It comes complete with durable hood HB-23, and soft pouch. The Nikon 16-35mm lens is scheduled to go on sale on February 19, 2010.

Broaden your perspective with the Canon EF 16-35mm ultra-wide-angle zoom lens. Specifically designed for improved edge-to-edge image quality that meets the strict requirements of professional and high-end amateur photographers alike, the lens lets you bring more area into focus while providing greater depth of field. The lens features three high-precision aspherical lens elements--ground, replica, and GMo--that produce even better image quality than the original Canon EF 16-35mm USM lens. The circular aperture, meanwhile, produces a beautiful and natural background blur when shooting at wider apertures. Other details include internal focusing, a ring-type ultra-sonic monitor (USM), and new AF algorithms for fast and quiet autofocusing. The lens carries a one-year warranty.
