This lens is simply put outstanding. It is sharp edge to edge even wide open at 1.4. The auto focus is very very accurate and relatively fast given the amount of glass being moved around and the accuracy it needs to be positioned at to achieve the tack sharp images it makes. It is built like a true pro lens, heavily overbuilt and rugged and weather sealed to match the likes of the D3s, D700 and D300s. If you need to do any lowlight hand held photography this lens should be your first consideration, you will make photographs in places you never though possible.

Great Boken. Sharp corner to corner. Fast auto focus. Beautiful color rendering. Perfect weight. You would be nuts, not to add this masterpiece to your collection.

The 24 like the 85 1.4 will be a Classic!

This lens was greatly awaited.

When it arrived, I got about 50% focus reliability.

The silent wave motor on this and the new 50mm 1.4 lens does not meet professional standards.

Very slow, and VERY inaccurate. It seems it runs out of power to drive it to complete focus.
