This is an excellent lens for landscape photography. And you can do a lot of photographic experiments with it. It works perfect on a D800. For that Camera only the best glass is good enough, but the 16 -35 gives you also excellent results. Just buy this lens if you are a wide angle junkie ...

Very wide and very sharp; super Haptik

If you buy this lens you know that you can't use filters; I don't care

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED ($1,999.95) is an ambitious lens—it covers an ultra-wide field of view at its widest, and a 2x zoom ratio that seems modest, but actually changes the field of view quite dramatically given just how much it captures at its widest—and it does it all while maintaining an f/2.8 aperture. It's an excellent performer, even on full-frame cameras, with only a few weak points, and a go-to lens for Nikon shooters who crave an ultra-wide zoom lens. Some folks may prefer a more modest wide zoom, like the less expensive Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G($746.95 at Amazon), but when 18mm isn't wide enough, this is the lens to reach for. And when you reach for it, it won't be hard to find. The 14-24mm($1,996.95 at Amazon) is big, measuring 5.2 by 3.8 inches (HD) and heavy at 2.1 pounds. Its front element curves outward, so there's no way to screw in a standard lens filter. Lee Filters sells the SW150 holder for use with the lens; it's pricey at $400, b...

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED is an excellent ultra-wide angle zoom with an f/2.8 design, but it's on the pricey side for a specialty lens.

Very sharp; Ultra-wide field of view; Full-frame coverage with f/2.8 aperture

Noticeable wide-angle distortion; Requires special holder for filters; Big; Expensive

A well built and presented optic that breaks new ground on the camera it is designed for. Excellent image quality only slightly let down by the distortion at the wide end, something that can be easily sorted in post processing.

Good optical performance; Extreme wide angle capability; Excellent Build quality

Some distortion at the wide end; An expensive optic; Lacking ability to attach filters

While I hope to create a full Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G AF-S Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site. This page currently exists because it is required by the database and content management systems for me to post information and...

Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S The fastest and widest of Nikon's full-frame zooms, this pro lens ($1,800, street) scales up to 21-36mm on the Nikon D300. Introduced with the full-frame D3 and unofficially matched to Nikon's 24-70mm and 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses, this superfast, constant-aperture,...

Lets face it, wide angle zooms have their problems and have never been able to produce images as well as straight, fixed focal length, wide angles. Well, now Nikon has re-written the book on how wide angle zooms perform with its new AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED.

Once a groundbreaking ultrawide, this workhorse is now a little old and faces serious rivalries from third party makers such as Tamron 15-30. Still the optic quality is fully comparable even against the newest competitors and the build quality is nothing but exceptional.

Decent optics; very handy focal range and excellent build quality

Expensive (compared with third party rivals); huge; hard to use filters and very prone to flares

Aug 23rd. Nikon has today announced the AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED Nikkor zoom lens, offering a full range of professional features. In addition to a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture at all focal lengths, the AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED features a short close-focusing distance of 0.28 m/0.9 ft.

Amazing zoom lens. The image quality has a superb clarity that is hard to describe. It takes quite a good lens to impress me, but this one does. Unfortunately, the corners are not tack sharp until you get down to f 5.6 or f8.

Amazing clarity and IQ

Corners not acceptable till you get to f5.6 or f8.

The AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8 is an ultra-wide angle zoom designed for full-frame FX-format Nikon DSLRs. Announced in 2007, alongside the AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8, it delivers a unique combination of ultra-wide coverage, fast and constant focal ratio, pro build quality and superb results which has...

Good to excellent quality across the FX image-circle; Weather sealing; Quiet and fast AF operation; Sturdy build quality

Prone to flare; No filter-thread; High price; Modest zoom range
