Yeah it's def a unique lens, i just kinda think it wouldn't be too useful.....i mean, 1.8 is great for light gathering capabilities, but for DOF, forget it....unless your subject is 2ft in front of you, you won't even get the effect.....and honestly, most of the time lately with my 17-35 2.8, i find myself stopping down anyway, simply to sharpen up the outer areas/corners of the frame, and eliminate the vignette.......this lens will be no different......sure it may clean up by f/4 vs f/5.6 like my 17-35..but it won't be sharp in the corners, and it'll vignette like a beast.....

I'm not knocking it, i just think for shallow DOF on an ultra-wide, you gotta be at 28mm and 1.8 or 1.4 to really notice it....

Kind of wish it was an updated 18mm 2.8, because as stated above, I'll definetly use it wayyyyy stepped down from 1.8, but it does have appeal to me nonetheless.

Looks pretty fantastic to me, coupled with the high MP D810 camera! A really innovative lens design.

need more night shots to see what the coma is like. This could be a great astro/star trails lens if the performance is there. If positive reviews come out soon this will be the next addition to my kit.

Nikon China did post night shots, not sure why it's not here.

has quite some coma, guess another lens that must be stopped down to at least f/3,5

This is definitely the choice if you need to hike a number of miles to get to your scene.

I'll be interested to see how this compares to the Zeiss 21mm...

Thanks for the samples. Not as impressive as I'd hoped. Guess I'll be waiting for the Sigma 24/1.4 Art.

For shallow DOF you do not use wide angle lenses!

This lens at f2.8 is likely to be a tough challenge for the Zeiss costing more than twice as much.

Let's wait for DxO Mark.

Cheers,

Nice lens but would be nice if they posted out samples without pp on it. The Nikon 17-35mm has very little barrel distortion at 20mm, so that will be hard to decide.
