Wonderful fast and sharp lens that I use with my Nikon D300. Tried using on my daughters Nikon D700 and was much more excited to use on full frame to really get the benefit of the wide angle.

A bit pricy but worth every penny. Great clarity and color. One of three must have lenses (along with 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8)

I have just recently pick this lens up because I needed a full format lens to go with my new Nikon D700 and the DX lens weren´t cutting it for me.
14mm is an extremely wide view. Great for landscapes and ground to ceiling shots for portraiture. The only disadvantage is that it gives a wall eye affect when opened to 14mm. So you must zoom to full 24mm in order to avoid this.
Aside from that, it´s a great lens to add to the collection. Fast and clear as can be.
Go Nikon.

The best wide angle lens I have used. Very sharp and does an amazing job controlling distortion. If you´re an architectural, interior or scenic photographer there is not a better zoom available. This is a specialized lens and the average photographer might find themselves using this lens less than expected. Cons would be the price, the hood traps dust on the lens and the shape of the lens makes it difficult to use filters.

This is one of the three main lenses that go on my d 300 and d 700 bodies. This is an exceptional fine lens and I love how it opens the possibilty of filling the frame for me. I sometimes will keep it on the camera for weeks at a time just to increase the experiences allowed withsuch fine glass. i highly recommend this baby and would not leave without it. I love shooting outdoors and recently documented the tearing down of giants stadium and did it all with this lens. i am leaving for my third africian safari in September and this is up there with the malaria plls as must packs. The morning savanah scenes and evening scenes are ideal for this lens.

This is the perfect wide-angle zoom! I do a lot of close proximity pictures from cars, motorcycles, machineries and architecture. This lens deliver fantastic point of view of the subjet with minimal distorsion. I use it a lot and it always surprise me!

I have used this lens for landscapes coupled with my Nikon D300 camera body for outstanding results. I recently got back from Ouray area of Colorado and could not believe the number of pictures that were blow-up and mountable quality. Absolutely, the best ultra wide zoom lens that I have ever used.

This is an amzingly sharp lens from edge to edge, has all of the pro features you want, excellent build quality and very fast.

Don´t know what to say about this Lens except that ´´bravo´´ Nikon. This lens is truly a marvel, initially I was really hesitant to spend almost $2k on it but a recent trip to Alaska had me itching day and night so you know the rest... No regrets, the images I was able to capture with this lens were stunning and sharp.
