A wide-angle prime lens that delivers superb performance right throughout the frame of every image, this lens is perfect for reportage and documentary photography, as well as more expansive scenes such as landscapes and cityscapes. If you’re shooting architecture or interiors you’ll also find it an invaluable companion, and the maximum aperture of f/2.8 means it’s no slouch in low light.

With a rear focusing system and short minimum focusing distance, the Nikon AF 14mm f/2.8D ED is also highly useful for close-up photography. Despite its ultra-wide focal length, it really is a lens with applications across a broad range of disciplines, and is well worth pairing with your Nikon DSLR.
