Unfortunately my Nikon 12-24 didn’t survive the last trip I made (it simply broke while in the photobag).
I am wandering to simply get another 12-24mm f/4 or go for the DX 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5.
Who has experience with these two lenses? The webpage indicated that it is internal focusing but the NIKOR code doesn’t include “IF”…
I also suppose that I can use the same domeport/extension ring for both.
The size of the lenses are the same and I hope that the entrance pupil will be more or less at the same place.
All commens welcome

I have been keen to do a back to back test for Wetpixel. I will try and source some lenses for Cayman in January - so I can test them both.

Funny thing, I was researching just the same question for my GF. She can't go with the Tokina 10-17 because she shoots a D60 - no pin drive AF.
Aquatica uses the same port, port shade, gear, and extension.

It is very likely that I will go for the 10-24. I know you have the 12-24, so together we would have both :-) So you can then do your test if you want to in the Cayman.

I sold the 12-24mm several years ago when I bought the D700. But I suspect I can find one to borrow. I am giving a talk to an UW Photo Group in the UK the night before leaving for Cayman - maybe one of them can lend me a lens.
Will have to borrow some gears too.

12-24 zoomgear I have and will bring it to the Cayman......
10-24 has much better corner sharpness in the domes that I've tested...

Hi Ryan, thanks. It seems to become clear that the 10-24 is a good choice.
Hi
I use a 12/24 with a 4x diopter & get great corner sharpness this is using a W/Port with a short extender.
