The one lens that's been missing in my camera bag until now has been a good wide-angle. This is not merely a "good" wide angle; it is no less than a game changing lens, simply superlative in sharpness, color rendition, contrast and distortion control. Buy it!

I love wide angle lens and this lens gives me the room I need when working close to subject and to see the big picture. At F/4 it's has enough light to focus in most low light situations and still keep a nice depth of field. Rarely do I need to use manual focus, and in close the lens is still sharp.

Fast focusing with AF-S; good size and weight

A little pricey for an F/4; Lens hood design seems to be wider than nessesary

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Nikkor 12-24mm F/4 ED-IF DX G lens is Nikon's offering for an ultrawide zoom for its digital bac

SHARP!!!; low edge distortion; flare resistance; compact size; 77mm filter

F/4 aperture; reversed zoom and focus rings; mid level construction quality; no weatherproofing

A simply amazing lens. A must have for any landscape photographer.

I don't use this lense very often, but when I need it, I really need it. It produces fantatic photographs of entire rooms full of people and awsome shots of nature or mountins. The photographs are very sharp, even in low light with my D300 camera.

Must read the manual

I purchased this lens used and had problems with really unsharp corners. I did some testing and determined the lens was de-centered. Sent it in to Nikon for repair and it came back better, but I still think the corners are soft at the wide end, even when well stopped down.

Very good resistance to flare; great color and contrast; sharp everywhere at long end and in center at short end

Corners at short end are soft; doesn't focus nearly close enough

The best ￡[$] pounds I ever spent the lens is now 4 years old,and still looks like new after many adventures.Nikon have updated this unit with a f2.8.but I will not be tempted, at f4 it has given and given and now our bond is tight.

The lens is a must if you use a Nikon DX camera as Nikon make no wide angle prime DX lenses, i've owned the 10.5 fisheye but its very hard to take a decent picture as the lens bends any straight lines,(which it is designed to do). The 12-24 used on my old D80 and now my D2x gives excellent results.

Outstanding picture results in all lighting. Works well with build in D40 flash. Can't wait to try with SB-800 flash. Great for indoor Realtor photos for whole room look. Takes good portraits but photo subjects can get nervous at first with camera so close to them. Solid / fast auto focus speed.

Sharp images; no distortion at 12mm; fast focus

wide shape at 77mm, manual focus ring near auto focus ring, minor points here; Expensive but you get what you pay for in quality photos
