Coming from Leica and Olympus film cameras, I'm used to 21mm lenses that are quite a bit smaller than this one. It's only small in comparison with modern bloated zooms, which I won't carry around at all. Nevertheless, it's the sharpest W/A I've ever had, especially at f4.

Sharp, sharp, sharp; Very flare resistant

Larger than it needs to be; in my opinion

As a nature photographer, this lens is a 'must have for my bag. It is one of the lightest lenses you will find, anywhere (270g), it is extremely sharp, and (best of all) you can buy a Nikon BR-2A adapter+ a BR-5, flip the lens around, and use it for super-macro photography (3.4x), giving you...

This is my first super wide fix focal length lens. In the short time that I have had it, it has produced stunning results. The image comes through crisp and clear. The colors are outstanding. I brought this lens with me to photograph Italy, and all I can say is, wow.

* Crisp clear results; * Colors are great; * Little to no image distortion

* No lens hood

If you like to take landscape or nature photographs, try this lens for shaping cloud, rocks, land or even tree or bridge. Just be prepared to get facsinating shape of your subject. It's wide but not too wide to ruin the original shape of the subject.

fab product and service thank you

Small compacted fits into your pocket

Consistent Output; Lightweight; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus; Strong Construction

I used this lens for my new d700. It is really wide for my landscape and architecture shots that I don't need to carry my heavy 17-35 2.8. It is also very useful for my wedding low-light indoors shots in church and restaurant.

Fast; Sharp even at wide open; No distortion; Compact and Light

None

I always stopped at 24mm when assembling a SLR kit. Anything wider was too specialized for regular use and good glass gets pricey wider than 24mm. Except for this lens. Amazing color, contrast and sharpness. Barrel distortion is expected, corrected with DxO software or Photoshop.

This lens is truly one of the hidden gems of the Nikon lens lines. Along with the 60mm and 180mm Nikon D lenses on my D700, it is in every way my ideal Nikon outfit. My recent Ebay purchase has now kitted me out to shoot virtually all photo opportunities I am now seeing in a two months tour of Java,...
