The Nikon Nikkor 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6 is an ultra wide-angle zoom lens suitable for anyone interested in Landscape Photography, Travel Photography and architecture for example.

It is worth noting however that this lens is only designed for APS-C or DX sized Nikon DSLR cameras, meaning it is not compatible with full-frame (FX) cameras such as the Nikon D850. The 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6 offers photographers extreme to wide focal lengths. Weighing only 230g, its compact and lightweight construction make it a comfortable lens to use all day, paired with a DX DSLR such as the Nikon D7500 or D3400.

As an AF-P series Nikon lens the Nikkor 10-20mm uses Stepping Motor technology to deliver fast, accurate and near-silent autofocusing. With a minimum focusing distance of 22cm, this lens will produce a near fisheye photography look with an ultra-wide field of view when taking portraits for example. It also offers full-time manual override so that users can take over control of focusing without having to physically turn off the autofocusing function.

One of the features that sets this lens apart from its competition is the inclusion of image stabilisation in the form of Nikon Vibration Reduction (VR) technology. The benefit of this is sharper images when shooting handheld and improved capabilities in low-light conditions, as photographers will be able to select slower shutter speeds. VR operation remains quiet, even when recording video.

Three Aspherical lens elements included in the design of the Nikkor 10-20mm help to reduce distortion associated with wide-angle lenses. These quality elements and specialised lens coatings combine to minimise the impact of chromatic aberrations, flares and ghosting, boosting overall image resolution and clarity. Additionally, the 7-rounded blade aperture construction of this lens also helps to deliver attractive out-of-focus highlights as the lens creates attractive separation between the intended subject and the background when shooting at wider apertures.

A suitable choice for events photographers, travellers and filmmakers, the Nikkor 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6 is a great lens option at this focal range and a solid investment for anyone who is keen to build their kit.
