Love the lens. It is a perfect compliment to my D800E. I do recomment stopping it down to 2.0 for better color corner to corner (some vignetting at 1.4). Really becomes sharp from f/4.0 to f/16. This is a great landscape and interior focal length. Resolution is a good match for the D800E.

This lens is a little overhyped. I've used the Canon 24mm f/1.4L II, and the Nikon is really only slightly better in some aspects as seen in the post below. I wouldn't switch systems for this lens. The reason you buy this lens is for the f/1.4.

f/1.4; sharp*; gorgeous bokeh; unusually thick lens hood; solid build; great feeling MF ring

*sharpness at f/1.4 is a little overhyped; AF sometimes is slightly inconsistent; CA regardless of aperture

With the popularity of zooms, particularly of constant aperture f2.8 types amongst the press, not to mention DSLRs with variable ISOs and ultra-high sensitivities, the fast prime has been overlooked in recent times. But that's changing.

I use this lens for low light and low light action on a Nikon D800E or D3200. Perfect for "no flash" indoor parties and night time street photography. The best 24mm ever made by anyone.

Sharp; very fast

None

The HG L series includes ones of the most expensive, top-of-the-range Nikon binoculars; the producer ensures that they used ?everything the best" while producing them. It consists of roof prism models with the following parameters: 8x20, 10x25, 8x32, 10x32, 8x42 and 10x42.

very solid casing; good transmission; perfectly sharp image across the whole field of view; low chromatic aberration in the centre of the field of view; very low astigmatism; quite well corrected coma; low brightness loss on the edge of the field; low distortion; very good whiteness rendering; very...

a bit too high chromatic aberration on the edge of the field of view

The most awesome focal length for FX landscapes, and the next most awesome on DX (1.5x 24mm =36mm) . I doubt anything better will be made in the next 50 years.

Optical quality at all apertures (sharpness, colour rendition, bokeh, resistance to flare); Lightweight; Perfect for night lanscapes and astrophotography; Really good on DX for pet photos

Price; 1800 euros, really; Oww, hurts

This lens is very expensive and really a speciality lens, but if you need it or have a use for it its the best 24mm lens on the market. Ultra sharp right from wide open at f1.4, at f2.8 its sharper than Nikon's 14-24 and Nikon's 24-70.

Accurate focus; Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Quick Focus; Rugged; Sharp Focus; Strong Construction

I've owned this lens for over a year now, and I'm still positively surprised every time I look at 1:1 magnification of a shot taken with it - the sharpness of this gem is breathtaking. But the sharpness is only the beginning.

"I just picked this lens up today, and I'm still blown away how sharp it is @ 1.4. Although there is noticeable fringing, it's nothing that can't corrected in PP. Otherwise, it focuses quicker and quieter than any lens I've ever used.

At $2,200, the expectations for this lens have to be high. The 24mm ƒ/1.4G almost reaches them. Certainly, stopped down, the lens produces exceptional results, but as the main feature of the lens is its extremely wide aperture - ƒ/1.4 - we imagine the lens will spend much of its time here,...
