This is a great wide angle lens with clear sharp pictures.Although plastic, it feels well constructed and designed. Lens correction data is available for this lens on Nikon site. You will still need a tripod or support for longer exposures in low light.

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Strong Construction

Poor in Low Light

I bought this lens to use on my Nikon D810. I read the reviews before I bought it and agree that it is a Great lens at a sensible price. Ideal for travel and landscape photography and can be used with slim filters. Highly recommended

I tried this lens as a replacement for my Nikon AF 24mm f/2.8 D and I was pleasantly surprised. It's sharper and it has better contrast than the 24mm. It's also very lightweight and compact for a full frame wide angle zoom. I like how this lens handles/feels on a Nikon camera body.

Compact; lightweight; nice handling; sharpness; contrast; silent autofocus

Could be a little sharper at 35mm

Great light and compact lens for the full chip. Easy to use and good value. Good lens for landscape and general use.

In the following material we have an opportunity to present the full test of that latest acquisition of Nikon – enjoy your reading! We had an opportunity to test that lens courtesy of the Foto Plus shop from Cracow – thank you very much!

very good resolution in the frame centre; good image resolution on the edge of the APS-C sensor; negligible longitudinal chromatic aberration; good performance against bright light; slight astigmatism; silent and efficient autofocus; moderate vignetting for such a class of equipment; sensible price,...

weak image quality on the edge of full frame at the maximum relative aperture; build quality of the casing and the manual focus ring should have been better; high distortion on wide angle

Following in the footsteps of Sigma's 18-35mm f/1.8 lens it would be easy to dismiss Nikon's new AF-S 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5 as an inferior competitor but nothing could be further from the truth.
