Quantaray 24mm F/2.8 Macro Autofocus Lens For Nikon Review

The Quantaray 24mm f/2.8 Macro is a budget-oriented third-party lens originally sold through Ritz Camera and other retailers in the film and early digital eras. It features autofocus compatibility with Nikon F-mount cameras and a 52mm filter thread. This particular copy is sold used in excellent condition with caps included at $69.

As a 24mm prime, it sits in the wide-angle category and offers a macro-style close-focus capability, though true 1:1 macro reproduction is unlikely at this focal length and price point. Quantaray lenses were typically rebadged versions of optics from manufacturers like Sigma or Tokina, so build and optical quality can vary depending on the specific OEM. At this price, it may appeal to film shooters or those looking for an inexpensive wide-angle option for older Nikon DSLRs, but buyers should be aware that compatibility and performance on modern mirrorless bodies (even with an adapter) is uncertain.
