Nikon NIKKOR 1910 16mm

★★★★☆ 4.4 (81)

A full 180-degree diagonal picture angle on full-frame sensors delivers dramatic, distorted perspectives, while the close-range correction system maintains sharpness down to a 0.25m minimum focus distance. Weighing just 289g with a bright f/2.8 aperture, it remains exceptionally portable for low-light interiors and tight spaces without sacrificing contrast thanks to the Super Integrated Coating. This lens is best for FX-format photographers seeking exaggerated, creative wide-angle effects for close-ups and stylized portraiture.
