I was torn between the Nikon 12-24 and this lens for my DX ultra wide DX needs. I chose this lens due greater angle or frame coverage and I am glad I did. That extra 10 degrees of coverage is actually a lot! I also was convinced that this lens is sharper than its 12-24 brother.

Widest angle you can get (at this time) for DX; sharp; high contrast image rendering

Other than minor complaint about distortion at 10 to 15mm, I do not have any; But such is the case with all ultra wide lenses, it's just that this one has bit more distortion than most lenses

I use this lens mostley for landscape / scenery. When I am hiking in the mountains this is the lens I have mounted on my camera. It has given me some great dramatic wide angle shots that are clear and have great color. It gives me the range I was looking for with a DX format camera.

Nikon's venerable 12-24mm ultrawide zoom has the benefit of a reasonably fast f/4 aperture that remains constant throughout the zoom range. By contrast, the newer 10-24mm lens has a variable f/3.5-4.5 maximum aperture but, crucially, it extends the zoom range where it matters most: at the wide-angle...

This is the widest angle lens I have ever used and it's a dandy. The zoom is great for interiors, framing is a cinch. Wish the aperture were constant, but overall this lens is an excellent choice. Only done a few landscapes so far but results are promising.

Durable; Easy To Use; Reliable

I've been taking pictures for an awfully long time, I got my first camera over 45 years ago, and used it at the 1970 Commonwealth Games – my shots were universally rubbish, but I was smitten.

Glorious wide open spaces

Less than ideal for portraits or sporting events; also expensive new

This is a class leader in the ultra wide zoom category. Designed for crop sensor Nikon DSLRs it offers an ultra wide to semi wide focal length range (35mm equivalent of 15mm - 36mm). It delivers fantastic image resolution throughout its entire focal range which is unmatched.

Very good quality optics. Good value. Decent build quality. Authentic product with warranty card included. Made in China. Received package had fair protection for the item. Excellent images, pretty sharp. Expect some distortion, especially around the 10mm end, but nothing that can't be fixed in PP.

The Nikon name and longevity convinced me to buy this lens over a 3rd party one, I expect Nikon to have ability and spares over long period to fix this lens if it ever has a problem. Good wide angle range and image quality is good over the entire range.

Easy to use; Compact

Build quality

A wonderful lens for all those who want to have a wide angle and cannot pay for the high end lens. It serves its purpose very well if you can ignore the slight blurring on the edges of the picture.
