Nikon announced three new wide-angle Nikkor lenses this morning: the AF-P DX Nikkor 10-20MM F/4.5-5.6G VR, which is a compact, ultra-wide-angle perspective DX-format zoom lens; the AF-S Fisheye Nikkor 8-15MM F/3.5-4.5E ED, which is a circular fisheye zoom lens; and the AF-S Nikkor 28MM F/1.4E ED: a wide-angle, prime lens.

Every photographer has a favorite lens, depending upon the type of photography they enjoy most. For some, it may be a super telephoto zoom, like the powerful new Sigma 150-600mm Sports lens we reviewed recently. For others, it might be a high-speed prime. But what really gets my creative juices flowing are the creative opportunities unlocked by an ultra-wide lens like the new Sigma 12-24mm DG f/4 HSM zoom.
