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.

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.

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...

"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.

Pros: Nice Bokeh Cons: Slow Focus Other thoughts: finally decided to spend on this great lens. glad i did, the pictures are perfect!

I am a wide angle fanatic. I love to layer my photos and frame subjects through busy foreground elements. So when I was looking for a new wide lens, it was between this one or the 14-24mm 2.8.

Im Unsinn this Lens for architetural and Industrial Photography. Its in use on a d800 and d600. This Lens delivers sharpness even at wide open and a very creamy shallow depth of field for a wide angle lens

Fast / accurate auto-focus; Nice Bokeh; Strong Construction

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.
