Nikon does it again!

[Evin Grant]

Right, if it's so pedestrian how come no other optics Co. has made a 10mm FF lens. Assuming it's rectilinear.

I'm with Evin on this one. 10mm covering FF is a big deal. The Tokina 11-16 is f2.8 and is a very nice lens, especially considering the price. But it only covers DX sensors and that has been the one factor that has kept me from buying it.

10-18mm f4 AFS N... This lens if for full frame! If it actually exists

Nice lens.
Notice the little focusdisplay. On my Nikons I have ft on top and meters on the bottom. Last I looked 0.8m is more than 2.5 ft - so why is it opposite on this photo?

Maybe I'm the idiot, but this struck me... :umm:

If you put a lens on a full frame sensor you'd get even more FOV than on a S35 sensor. My rough calculations say it would be about 359 degrees... Anyone know the angle?

Canon's 10mm zoom is 3.5f, not much faster and covers only APS-C.

This would make for stunning photography and could be used for daytime filming also... imagine the landscapes and cityscapes.

I'll bet it's $4000.

:-(

I think I'll keep my Tokina. . . I'm in love with that one.

It's hard to tell exactly but I'd bet that's .3 not .8.

It's hard to tell exactly but I'd bet that's .3 not .8.

Maybe, but if it is 0.3m then that must be almost as close as you can get with the lens - so the focus ring goes from close to infinity in a (ca.) 20 degree turn?

Hi Evin,

Great news!
If it is in the same league as their 17-35 f2.8 and 28-70 f 2.8, that will be awesome!

thanks
