Draft:Nikon Nikkor Z DX 24 mm f/1.7

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Anyone who has any notion of "focal length" and "aperture" will already know of a 24 mm f/1.7 lens that Compared to the popular 35 mm f/1.8G DX-format prime for F-mount, this lens offers a shorter focal length (by 11 mm), with a slightly brighter aperture (f/1.7 instead of f/1.8). (And anyone who doesn't won't learn anything from the comparison.) -- Hoary (talk) 00:21, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

The Nikon Nikkor Z DX 24 mm f/1.7 is a DX-format (APS-C) prime lens manufactured by Nikon for use on Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras.

Introduction

[edit]

The lens was announced on May 31, 2023,[2] and released on June 7, 2023.[3]

Compared to the popular 35 mm f/1.8G DX-format prime for F-mount, this lens offers a shorter focal length (by 11 mm), with a slightly brighter aperture (f/1.7 instead of f/1.8).[4] The lens comes with a screw-type lens hood (HN-42). There is a 46 mm filter thread on the lens and also on the lens hood.[5][6][7] The lens has a plastic mount and no weather sealing, although according to website SLR Lounge, as with all lenses without officially designated weather sealing, with care it also can take light rain without any issues.[6] Focus breathing is minimal on the lens.[6] Matthew Richards of Digital Camera World praised its versatility and impressive performance at a competitive price.[8]

Features

[edit]
  • 24 mm focal length (approximately equivalent field of view of a 36 mm lens on a full-frame format camera)
  • Autofocus using a stepping motor (STM), focus-by-wire manual focus ring
  • 9 elements in 8 groups (including 2 aspherical lens elements)
  • 7-blade rounded diaphragm
