I bought this lens when I switched from Canon to Nikon. I had been using the Canon 17-40, which I found pretty good. However, once I saw the images this lens was capable of (especially at 18mm) I was thoroughly impressed. It quickly solved my search for a wide lens for landscapes and general use.

Fairly lightweight; IQ punches above its price class; fast AF; common filter size; did I mention it was sharp

A little slow on the long end, makes you want to get a 35mm prime for low light, also because it's slightly less sharp wide open at 35; Could be more compact, perhaps, it is surprisingly long

Este lente es ideal para sacar fotos de arquitectura, puedes obtener tomas muy abiertas aún estando muy cerca a los edificios

Now you can cover the highly useful zoom range of 18mm to 35mm (27–52.5mm on DX-format cameras) with a great performing full-frame NIKKOR lens that doesn't carry a professional's price tag.

I love this little lens! It would have got 5 stars, but the first one supplied was faulty. Amazon returns policy, however, meant that a replacement was with me the next day, easier than going to my local camera shop! The lens is small, light and plenty sharp enough for me.

I wanted an ultra wide for my Nikon D750 to supplement my Nikkor 28-300. It was a decision between the Nikkor 16-35mm or this 18-35. DxO Mark says that for my D750, this 18-35 would be sharper than the more expensive 16-35mm. Wow.

This lens stays on my D750 most of the time. All my lenses are fast lenses (f/2.8 or faster) so i was a little hesitant when purchasing this lens. but i have yet to miss f/2.8 with this thing! It is amazingly sharp and focuses fast. it is simply perfect!

I purchased this excellent wide angle for use on my D610 and D750 along with the Nikon 16mm-85mm VR Zoom to shoot U.S. Coast Guard events, landscapes, architectural exteriors/interiors, and urban transportation infrastructure.

I had to throw a 10 in here to balance out the relatively low ratings. Some earlier ratings gave this lens effusive praise with little criticism and left 8s! Compared other lenses ranked here, this one should be above 9.5.

Excellent center sharpness throughout FL range, very good corners, lightweight, takes filters, good flare resistance, competes well against more expensive options

distortion at 18-20mm, no VR

"I had my doubts on this ""value priced"" FX wide angle zoom but once I started to use it, my doubts were unfounded. No VR...no problem...not needed on a wide angle. Very light, very sharp, focus is quick and accurate. It compliments my D610 perfectly! It's a keeper! Well done Nikon!"

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED is a surprisingly lightweight full-frame ultrawide-to-wide zoom lens that delivers a very good performance in the optical department. Centre sharpness is excellent throughout the zoom range, and corner sharpness is also better than expected, especially at...
