The NIKKOR 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR is an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens designed for DX-format Nikon DSLR cameras. Lightweight, compact, and surprisingly versatile, it gives photographers the ability to capture expansive landscapes, dramatic architecture, and tight indoor scenes with ease. You can go wide—really wide. The 10–20mm focal range offers dramatic perspective and creative framing possibilities that a standard lens simply can’t match. This lens is perfect for travel, vlogging, or everyday adventures. It weighs just 230 grams, making it one of the most portable wide-angle zooms available.
Despite its compact design, image quality remains sharp from edge to edge. Three aspherical elements help reduce distortion and chromatic aberration, even at the widest settings. Lines stay straight. Colors remain vibrant. Nikon’s built-in Vibration Reduction (VR) provides up to 3.5 stops of stabilization, enabling handheld shooting in low light without blur. You can leave the tripod behind. The Silent Wave Motor (SWM) offers fast, quiet autofocus, ideal for both stills and video recording. It focuses smoothly. It’s nearly silent. This makes it especially useful for content creators and vloggers who need crisp footage with minimal noise.
The lens also features an internal focusing system, meaning the front element doesn’t rotate during focus. That’s essential for polarizing filters or graduated ND filters in landscape work. The minimum focusing distance of 0.22 meters allows you to get surprisingly close to your subjects while maintaining a wide field of view. You can shoot immersive close-ups with context-rich backgrounds. Built with a durable plastic construction and a metal mount, the NIKKOR 10-20mm is designed to handle real-world use without weighing you down. It’s the ideal wide-angle companion for DX shooters who want more room in every shot. Get closer to the scene—by stepping back.
