5.0 out of 5 stars I actually have this lens, April 13, 2009

This review is from: Nikon 24mm f/2.0 Nikkor AI-S Manual Focus Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)

I bought it on eBay for a steal. I've used it a few times on my FM3a and FM2 cameras. I haven't done any work with it on digital, but it is a solid performer with color print film on the above mentioned cameras. It is faster and more interesting than the more common 24mm f/2.8 AI-S (or various 28mm lenses). I like mine and I will never sell it, but I know there are modern versions that are objectively better.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best fast wide angle lenses Nikon ever made, July 19, 2005

The manual focus 24mm f2 Nikkor AI-S lens remains one of the best fast wide angle lenses Nikon ever made. Wide open, its performance is better at f2 than its slower 24mm f 2.8 sibling at f2.8. Optically, I believe that this lens is also better wide open than Nikon's celebrated 28mm f2 Nikkor and 35mm f1.4 Nikkor lenses. Like the 24mm f2.8 Nikkor lens, this 24mm lens has floating elements to ensure optimal performance up close. This is a splendid lens for landscape as well as indoor photography. If I still owned Nikon equipment, I would have eventually acquired this superb lens to replace my 24mm f2.8 Nikkor. Like all AI-S Nikkor lenses, the 24mm f2 Nikkor can be used on virtually every Nikon camera ever made from the original Nikon F to most of the current Nikon autofocus SLRs, but in manual focusing mode only.
