The AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR – Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens That’s Compact and Portable

The new NIKKOR 10-20mm is an ultra-wide-angle DX-format zoom lens that opens new perspectives and possibilities for those new to photography, and is ideal for shooting travel and scenery, real estate, large group portraits or vlogging. This new lens combines superior image quality and an attainable price to give consumers wide-angle versatility with a lens that’s remarkably compact and lightweight.

Like all NIKKOR lenses, the new AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR provides advanced optical technologies for stellar image quality in any light, whether shooting a sun-drenched coastal vista, tight spaces or the night sky. The lens features the equivalent of 3.5 stops1 of Vibration Reduction (VR) performance, to help capture sharp images while handheld or in challenging light. Additionally, it utilizes Nikon’s Pulse Motor technology for super-fast and whisper quiet AF operation- which is especially useful when recording video. The optical formula contains three aspherical elements for excellent image quality with minimal distortion even at the widest focal length.

This is a versatile lens that not only excels at shooting expansive horizons, but also offers a remarkably close working distance that’s useful for images or showing up-close details when making product-related videos or how-to content. To get closer to capture small objects with big details, the lens has a close minimum focusing distance of only 8.6 inches (0.22 meters), bringing small objects to life in glorious size.

Review

At wide end image centre is actually pretty sharp, and the effects of diffraction start to be visible already at f/8. The f11 setting is still quite usable, but sharpness goes downhill from there.

The edges are somewhat soft wide open at f/4.5 but sharpen up quite nicely upon stopping down to f/8. Diffraction takes its toll at f11 and smaller apertures.

The central areas at 20mm are pretty sharp – although not “bitingly” so – wide open at f/5.6 and do not improve upon stopping down to f/8. Diffraction takes its toll on image quality at smaller apertures, although the lens remains usable through f16.

The situation is somewhat different around the edges, where peak sharpness is achieved at f11.
