When people say this lens gives "prime" quality in a zoom they aren't kidding. I'm using this on my D800 and the image quality is astounding. It performs extremely well when stopped down, too, without much sharpness killing diffraction.

amazing image quality weather sealing high build quality metal body

filters for this lens are expensive relatively heavy due to high build quality built-in hood is plastic

I'm happy landscape photographer from the northern hemisphere Finland and I have always wanted to try Nikon gear... my sister is Nikon girl and when I visit her I sometimes keep her N body in my hands but this is all I can do with it...

Usable with canon, it's as sharp as lens can get, I got new dimension in landscape photographing with this lens, ++ Now I can have friends from both sides C&N..; Thank's Nikon for this piece of gold

Firs I thought manual focusing might be a problem with my 5dmk2; but I forgot that very soon after using it it's practically always in focus when 3ft away from the target and who needs filters nowadays anyway

Initially I got this lens for my D200 to try to get a wider angle than I was able to achieve with the 18-200 mm lens I have. Of course I didn't gain much of an additional angle because of that small sensor in the D200 but I benefited none the less.

I purchased this lens about 11 months ago as a requirement for a class I was taking in Florida. We really never used it in the class but I did get some great shots on my own especially in the wetlands.

This lens is not good for general use, including portraits. Before purchasing it, realize that it is a specialty lens with lots of visual distortion. If you are looking for a general lens, the 24-70 is a better fit. Also, this lens is not for the dx camera user. It works best on full frame cameras.

Wow, what a lens, the 14-24mm f 2.8 packs a punch. This lens is the first of the 'Holy Trinity' of Nikon lenses. This lens makes Canon users envious. Canon has never replicated the design of this lens and from all accounts they can't?

Just received my lens today! Beautiful, sturdy and smooth... cannot wait to begin shooting with it! Thank you CamerasDirect! I've made several orders previously before, always prompt, affordable and best customer service I've experienced. :)

Part of the Nikon "holy trinity" of 2.8's , this lens is built and works like the professional lens it is. It is very sharp at all focal lengths and has brilliant color. I have had mine for two months and have no complaints.

Exceptional edge to edge sharpness, contrast and color. Super fast and silent autofocus with D3/D300. Absolutely enjoy shooting with this full frame ultra-wide lens even with a D300 (effectively 21mm-36mm). Well worth its price if fast ultra wide is desired.

excellent shapness, contrast and color; fast ultra wide full frame lens with well controlled distortion

relative easy flare; functional limit for some older film SLRs; no filter mount
