Rumor: Nikon to Release Its First 24mm f/1.8 in Early 2015

Rumblings around the rumor mill lately indicate that Nikon rumors have some new glass to look forward to. Specifically, it seems the camera giant is working on its first 24mm f/1.8 lens.

The rumor comes from the folks at Nikon Rumors, who are reporting that the lens will drop alongside a new DX camera in January or February of 2015.

“With a performance close to the f/1.4 versions and for a fraction of the price, the f/1.8 lenses have been a huge success for Nikon,” writes the rumor site, so it’s no surprise they’re squeezing a 24mm option in between the 20mm and 28mm f/1.8 lenses already offered.

The question is whether or not this incremental of a step in focal length is really worth buying a whole new prime lens. Let us know what you think in the comments down below.
