5.0 out of 5 stars the new standard, December 28, 2007

By	PlainWhite (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

Nikon's new 14-24 lens is just phenomenal. The clarity is that of a prime lens. In fact, this super-wide angle zoom lens effectively replaces the equivalent prime lenses within most of its focal length (except perhaps the 24mm range); it's like owning a bag full of prime lenses that have been combined to make one superlative zoom lens.

Yes, it's that good. If you check around the web, you will see the pros falling over themselves for this lens after they test it. It's built like a tank and is precise as a Swiss watch.
Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only great wide lens in existence , February 24, 2008

By	Eugene Fratkin - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got it about month and a half ago. I used Tokina 12-24 before and was not very happy with the edge performance. 14-24 is the only wide lens that lets me get the resolution that I expect from medium range and telephoto zoom lenses. Color and contrast are amazing. Much more even than my 17-55 Nikon. Very good built and handling. Over all, very happy!

That being said you should also remember:
It is not as wide as 10-12 APS-C ones.
Cannot use it with filter; both for safety and visual effect.
Flare appears more often than with 12-24.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing ultra-wide, January 13, 2008

By	Michael E. Clark (Tampa, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you want an amazing ultra wide angle lens for both FF and DX, this should be your choice hands-down. My old Sigma 12-24mm is a laugher by comparison. Talk about clarity and detail! Nothing out there comes close! Better than my old AF 20mm 2.8. The only down side is the inability to use filters, and the fixed hood is just a bit too wide for my Lee LF filter holder. But, in these Photoshop days, most filter effects can be post-processed as long as the image isn't overexposed. If it wasn't for this inconvenience, this would be a 5-star lens all the way.
