Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens
Customer Review: An excellent product for the professional
Summary: 4 Stars
I am impressed with the lack of distortion and flare in such a fast and complex lens. Color correction and fidelity are exceptional and the build quality seems fine. Sharpness is not quite what I expected, but far better than with many other new lenses I have tried recently. My only criticism would be for the design of the plastic lens cap that is only held on by friction. It falls off easily and this will probably get worse with time - a poor solution for a high price lens. Customer Review: AMAZING
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a collection of nikon's pro glass and have to say this one is built better then any other i own. The image sharpness is amazing and focus speed is immediate and silent. Make's you happy you didn't switch to Cannon. Note, while this lens says it was designed for digital, it works wonderfully on my Nikon F100 which is still my workhorse.Customer Review: Tack Sharp!
Summary: 5 Stars
Very nice solid lens...the only drawback is the absence of thread to hold filters on this monster!Customer Review: Excellent Wide Angle zoom Lens
Summary: 5 Stars
Its huge but it produces excellent photos. I just love the sharpest I can get from this lens even with a Nikon D80 camera. Its at par or a bit better than the Nikon 17-35mm f2.8. The built quality is very good but it is a speciality lens and so requires a bit of care in handling with the exposed front lens.Customer Review: Shocked!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is quite shocking to hold this 2.8 ultrawide lens. This lens is a standard-setter. It is SO SHARP wide open that you will be amazed. I read one review that said that it eliminates a bag of primes.
Yes, it is large. Yes, it is heavy. Yes, the front element is exposed and potentially vulnerable (use the lens cap!). Yes, it is not as wide as the DX lenses on DX bodies: Sigma 10-20, Tokina/Nikon 12-24. Yes, it is expensive. Yes, it is not as wide as some on DX cameras...
BUT this is a keeper and - somehow - when you mount the lens, and hold it, all those problems disappear. Will I take it hiking in Shenandoah? Nah, I put the Sigma 10-20 on for wide mucky stuff...
If you own a DX camera currently (all but D3 owners), you can invest in your FX future. BUT, it works phenomenally well on DX sensors like my D300... Helps me take great images...
A great piece of kit, as my British friends would say...
