AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED

I own this lens befor five months i am so pleased that i bought this lens because the sharpness and the well constructed , I keeping it mounted on my D700 , photographing churches its so nice with glass

I have had this lens for just about one year now and I must say I don´t use it as often as I like but I should, since this in my opinion one of the sharpest pieces of glass I have used, I usually use this in tight city and town shots at night but need to start breaking it out for day time photos, the one draw back is filter usage is next to nil on the options here, but Lee has designed an after market Cokin style holder that fits behind the built in lens hood that uses 150mm filters, so a Grad. ND filter can be used or others.

I love this glass for indoor Cathedral photos in that the wide angle it offers on a FX sensor is perfect on my D3-D3x bodies and it is a beautiful to handle lens, if you only want top notch glass and don´t want to purchase a arsenal of lens to cover a good range I suggest that this needs to be in your kit bag and a perfect compliment to 2 other beautiful lenses offered in the Nikon line up that one should consider is the 24-70 f/2.8 VR, and 70-200 f/2.8 VR. These three lenses will just about cover anything you will ever need.

One recent photo I shot at night is with this 14-24mm f/2.8 and is included in my review was shot on my D3x full frame sensor at 16mm focal length at ISO 640 and 2 seconds, yes I did use lens correction in PS CS5 to straighten out the lens distortion but you can see some of the endless possibilities possible with this lens.

Bought this lens along with the D700 for shooting in jazz / night clubs with no flash .. Between the glass and the high available ISO, it´s the perfect combination .. heavy, yes .. perfect, yes !! Great for city shots as you can get crazy with this lens .. You can take it all in even when the light gets low between the tall buildings .. Love hand holding the night shots, no tripod !! A monster of a lens ..

without doubt a superb piece of glass! i have owned and used this lens now for the past 6 months and love it! i have no reason to doubt the ´true´ ability of this lens and only my lack of ´daring´ (and the bloody cost of the thing) is holding me back from just taking all sort of chances with it: ´´have to get that shot´´ - ´´at all cost´´ Really, this is a marvelous piece of glass, one you will never be disappointed with, just release your imagination and watch it be fulfilled! i highly recommend this lens (for what it´s worth)

Si bien siempre me incline por otras focales, despues de comprar el 14-24 es uno de mis elejidos !!

I tried other wide angle lens hoping to save a few dollars. I just recently purchased the 14-24mm and I can honestly say it´s the best of them all. My only negative is its susceptible to flaring if in direct contact with light source. Beyond that it´s sharp, colourful and controls distortion better than any other wide angle lens I´ve worked with. I love the weight and construction and I highly recommend this lens to anyone who´s picky about picture quality. This is definitely one of Nikon´s best achievements, and its one of my favourites for sure.

This lens is easily one of the best in my arsenal of lenses. A lot of people get all into their zoom lenses, but if you are not into zoom lenses and want easily one of the best lenses nikon has ever made. This is their Mona Lisa. The ƒ2.8 comes in handy for low light scenes. helps long exposures at night. crisp sharp details across the spectrum.
Can´t see that light fall off. - Using DX, it´s just Awesome. on FX, It´s even more so! I highly recommend this lens. The construction is superb, I use raincovers all the time, but sometimes there will be that long exposure you were dying to get and suddenly, rain! This lens can take on quite a bit. it´s been through some light rain and hail at the same time. Just keep that bubble of the lens at the front clear of anything. - Only down falls are: the price (this lens is WELL worth it. the lower the price you find the better!) and that bulge of the lens in the front. Not complaining. It adds that uniqueness to the lens and for me.

this is the best lens for ultra wides out there.
If you want smaller sizes, you can go for the fixed D series which are still great!

Seriously, try this lens, I guarantee you will fall in love with Wide style photographs.

AMAZING AND REALLY SHARP LENS, QUALITY IS THIS LENS IS EXCELLENT QUALITY IS AMAZING, their great NIKON OPTICAL TECHNOLOGY IS A SUPERIOR GRADE LENS

This lens has been the heart and soul of all my landscape work. I´m pretty much addicted to it; it stays on my camera almost 70% of the time.

It´s super sharp and built to last, my photo friends that use other brands cameras salivate when they see this lens and wish they can use it :)

Buy one!
