There is no doubt that the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24mm f/1.4G ED lens is a very high-quality piece of gear. Build quality is up there with the very best of its current stablemates, while optical performance is superlative.

This lens was defective and not near as sharp as advertised. I tried several techniques to correct this without success. Be carful buying from this seller as this lens is very expensive.

I selected this lens over the 35/1.4 for my full frame. I love the wide angle and there is zero distortion! I'm still learning how to focus with this lens as it's not swift at it but I knew that before I purchased it. It is just going to take some practice.

High quality lens with great depth of field

Strong learning curve; It is not a fast focus lens

This lens works in such low light conditions that it sees more than the naked eye can in the dark. Mounted on a tripod it is incredible what this lens can do at night. Daylight shots are top notch and will make every image look professional. This is an artist's lens.

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 chose the 24mm f/1.4G ED as my first serious lens when I upgraded and bought a new camera even though it was the pricier of the other f/1.4s which I would eventually get. i ran into some auto-focus issues that turned out to be just me not knowing how to use my new camera which the people at the...
