We use this lens on a PB-4 Nikon Bellows and it delivers sharp photos in the reversed position. Also mounted it on my D750 and it is a sharp walk around lens as long as you let your feet be the zoom. Overall, I am well pleased.

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.

This D series lens is best suited to full frame Nikon DSLRs for landscapes and architecture photography. It is however also popular for street photographers who own crop sensor DSLRs that have the focusing motor in the body (D90, D7000, D7100, D7200) because it has a 35mm equivalent focal length of...

Stop! I don't own this lens, which I'm sure is a fine lens. However, I am a "D"-series Nikkor fan who prefers the smaller size, lower cost, and the way older lenses render despite not being as well-corrected and having generally less resolving power wide open and own several.

Size; weight; cost; rendering

Not as well-corrected as modern lenses; lower resolving power at wider apertures

This lens shines on an FX body. (There are better looking lens for crop frames. ) Sharp, even at f/2.8. I like the color reproduction. Not as great as a 35mm 1.4 but you can only see the difference in 5-10 percent of the photos. What I love that this lens doesn't look too "professional".

sharp; great look on FX; not expensive

feels plastic but I don't care
