the new standard December 28, 2007

Nikon's new 14-24 lens is just phenomenal. The clarity is that of a prime lens. In fact, this super-wide angle zoom lens effectively replaces the equivalent prime lenses within most of its focal length (except perhaps the 24mm range); it's like owning a bag full of prime lenses that have been combined to make one superlative zoom lens.

Yes, it's that good. If you check around the web, you will see the pros falling over themselves for this lens after they test it. It's built like a tank and is precise as a Swiss watch.
Highly recommended.

Amazing ultra-wide January 14, 2008
Michael E. Clark (Tampa, FL USA)

If you want an amazing ultra wide angle lens for both FF and DX, this should be your choice hands-down. My old Sigma 12-24mm is a laugher by comparison. Talk about clarity and detail! Nothing out there comes close! Better than my old AF 20mm 2.8. The only down side is the inability to use filters, and the fixed hood is just a bit too wide for my Lee LF filter holder. But, in these Photoshop days, most filter effects can be post-processed as long as the image isn't overexposed. If it wasn't for this inconvenience, this would be a 5-star lens all the way.

Shocked! March 5, 2008

It is quite shocking to hold this 2.8 ultrawide lens. This lens is a standard-setter. It is SO SHARP wide open that you will be amazed. I read one review that said that it eliminates a bag of primes.

Yes, it is large. Yes, it is heavy. Yes, the front element is exposed and potentially vulnerable (use the lens cap!). Yes, it is not as wide as the DX lenses on DX bodies: Sigma 10-20, Tokina/Nikon 12-24. Yes, it is expensive. Yes, it is not as wide as some on DX cameras...

BUT this is a keeper and - somehow - when you mount the lens, and hold it, all those problems disappear. Will I take it hiking in Shenandoah? Nah, I put the Sigma 10-20 on for wide mucky stuff...

If you own a DX camera currently (all but D3 owners), you can invest in your FX future. BUT, it works phenomenally well on DX sensors like my D300... Helps me take great images...

A great piece of kit, as my British friends would say...

The only great wide lens in existence February 25, 2008

I got it about month and a half ago. I used Tokina 12-24 before and was not very happy with the edge performance. 14-24 is the only wide lens that lets me get the resolution that I expect from medium range and telephoto zoom lenses. Color and contrast are amazing. Much more even than my 17-55 Nikon. Very good built and handling. Over all, very happy!

That being said you should also remember:
It is not as wide as 10-12 APS-C ones.
Cannot use it with filter; both for safety and visual effect.
Flare appears more often than with 12-24.

An excellent product for the professional April 28, 2008

I am impressed with the lack of distortion and flare in such a fast and complex lens. Color correction and fidelity are exceptional and the build quality seems fine. Sharpness is not quite what I expected, but far better than with many other new lenses I have tried recently. My only criticism would be for the design of the plastic lens cap that is only held on by friction. It falls off easily and this will probably get worse with time - a poor solution for a high price lens.
