I bought this lens thinking that it would be nice and sharp on my DX machine. I own both an FX body (D810) and DX (D7000). On the FX it's not a bad lens all round. It's sharp, the CA is very low.

Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight

Optics better for FX format

This may be one of Nikon's sharpest lenses. Set yourself free from the weight of pro-grade zooms! Everyone should spend a day walking around with this lense to see what it can feel like to lose the weight and keep the sharpness!

Wanted a wider lens for group shots and interiors. Found this lens to be fantastic, used it on a D700 today and the images came out perfectly.

Purchased this Nikon 24mm 2.8 for a combination of coverage, optical quality, and lower price than Nikon's superb but more expensive 24mm 1.4 wide angle, for night time street and indoor event coverage.

"Fantastique lens. Easy to use, great results on D700. Nice wide angle, before distortion of smaller focal lengths. Fully recommend."

I have this lens since 1999...it gives fantastic performance...very useful in weddings to capture still life, I always keep in my bag.

While I hope to create a full Nikon 24mm f/2.8D AF Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site. This page currently exists because it is required by the database and content management systems for me to post information and standard...

Originally posted 2006-12-27 on Optyczne.pl After the launch of cameras equipped with APS-C/DX class sensors, it got rather quiet around 24 mm devices. Perhaps the silence was a bit undeserved. On full frame such instruments provide a quite wide angle of view, equal of as many as 84 degrees.

weak image quality on the edge of the frame; visible chromatic aberration; high coma

I bought this lens used a few weeks ago specifically for street photography, and have been pretty happy with the results. On a cropped digital body like by D70, the 24mm focal length is only mildly "wide", works well for candid and from-the-hip shots.

compact; good view angle on a digital body; perfect "street" lens

prone to flare; f/2.8 aperture not as fast as many other primes

Close Range correction (CRC) system provides high performance at both near and far focusing distances
