5. Chromatic aberration

With such a wide angle and the need to preserve sensible dimensions at the same time, the high level of chromatic aberration is a frequent problem. The Tokina 12-24 mm was made painfully aware of it as its level of this aberration was huge. The Sigma 10-20 mm surprised us very nicely for a change, keeping the aberration on a sensible level. Looking at the graph below you can notice very clearly that the Nikkor is closer to the very good result of the Sigma than to that very bad of the Tokina.

In the case of the tested Nikkor 12-24 mm, the chromatic aberration never reaches high level. At 24 mm and at 18 mm on stopping down, its level is simply low; in other cases – medium at most.

Here the Nikkor deserves a lot of praise as it scores a big point in the duel with the Tokina.
