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

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...

The Nikkor AF 24mm f/2.8D didn't really convince during the tests due to various shortcomings. The resolution figures were generally very decent and there's only a slight degree of barrel distortions. However, the lens shows very high vignetting at f/2.8 and very pronounced CAs.

Fast wide angle at a decent price This is your lens. I got this glass when I purchased my first modern film camera (Nikon F80), the salesperson who was helping me at the store said that this was the best for a 'normal' lens for the camera, and he was right.

* Sharp Lens; * Great for a Film body; * Fast Autofocus; * Fast Wide Angle Lens

* Doesn't do well on a digital body

I bought mine last year, used, from a woman who bought it on Japan in the early 80's and seems to ha

Color; sharpness; contrast; build quality; size

Flare if a strong light enters the picture

Optically, the lens holds its own, despite showing some signs of age: wide open it shows some corner softness, and chromatic aberration is a problem for Nikon bodies which don't automatically remove it.

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

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.

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!
