I recently switched to the full frame Nikon D700 camera, and wanted a really good and versatile wide angle zoom lens. I researched this lens on 3-4 different lens review sites, and because the reviews were quite good, I decided to buy it.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Great for Night Pictures; Lightweight; Strong Construction

You want tack sharp, you got it. You want great focusing capabilities, you got it. Color fidelity is excellent. Yes it's a little heavy, it's a professional lens, get over it.

I had read reviews on this lens but there is nothing quite like using a lens to see how sharp it is. This lens is a beauty can't recommend it enough and it is a steal at this price. forget the 14-24 f2.8 get this lens and save yourself a load of cash.

Bought this because I have already the 14-24mm but I am always worried about damaging the lens during outdoor photography. The 16-35 in my opinion is more practical as a travel/outdoor lens. The only thing I miss on that lens is the look at 14mm. Which is why I intend to keep both.

I have used the best lenses Nikon has to offer and boy they are nice. This one is Just a little slower, but just as sharp yet not as expensive or heavy as the 14-24 f2.8. Very happy with the purchase and quick shipping.

Sharpness ,cost ,weight

It's not f2.8 but so far I haven't needed it

I debated on this versus the 14-28. This is considerably smaller and lighter which appealed to me. I took this on a recent vacation to Ireland and was expecting major distortion and some softness at the longer end based on some (not all) reviews.

This lens is AWESOME. If you love wide, it does wonders on a full frame camera. Before purchasing, I've debated between this lens and the legendary 17-35mm. In the end, I wound up buying this lens and am loving it; no regrets whatsoever. A cool feature of this lens is its focusing distance.

A truly great lens I've had for a year and have come to know as my go-to for interiors, architecture, capturing big grandeur nature scenes, and shooting vehicles. When I put this lens on my D800E on a tripod and shoot with a cable release in Mirror-Up mode, it consistently shows that my investment...

"This is a pretty awesome lens. I bought mine two months ago from the Henry's in St. Catharines, and it hasn't disappointed one bit. It captures beautiful landscapes and sunsets. It's light, sharp, and takes very clean looking images.
