Question: Who knows enough about this Nikon 24 1.8 G to comment on it?
Or, if you choose, what wide angle would you recommend for this D850?
Seattleducks posted a shot of a brook (or creek for you Southern boys). What do you blokes call a small stream in the Australian woods (or outback?). Lance B, Charles.K ?
Here is the shot (Wow!):

The shot floored me. I love these scenes. Grew with them, as a young man cruising the Maine woods. I know brooks that look just about like this one cold, wet fall days. And it's a big reason I bought the D850. I do not regret it.
So what do ya'll think of this 24mm 1.8? Or what do you suggest to accomplish the same? I like the price of this 24 1.8.
Please and Thank you.

In Australia, we would refer to as a "creek" and if it was flowing more during the wet season, then a river. Often it is a fine line between a fast running river and a flood It is a superb shot. The Australian bush is very harsh in comparison and there tends to be a lot of undergrowth and often it is hard to compose a "nice" shot. Australian scenes are very rugged, harsh lighting generally. Whereas in our rain forest the creeks, streams and rivers are just stunning!
The D850 for seascapes/landscapes has also floored me, particularly at 64 ISO. I have not posted that many of those shots and many of friends are also finding the wow factor with D850. In the end I don't care whether there other brands now as we can chase our tails in circles.
I recently purchased the 24/1.8G. This lens is meant to be superb in sharpness and right up there with the best of them. My copy was not a good copy and had a lot of CA even at f/5.6 so I sent it back. I still have my 24 Art which is superb for street photography and landscapes. I was just hoping for a lighter street lens but I just lost interest and I did not want to try another few copies. WA lenses are a very personal choice. Some just love the UWA and some prefer less extreme WA lenses. It is best to try out a few UWA lenses first and see which FL suits.
The 20/1.8G is a great WA, light and great IQ. This may be a great first choice.
As mentioned I love the 14-24/f2.8 . There are many to choose from, 12-24/f4 Art, Tamron 15-30, 16-35/f4G, 17-35/2.8G just naming a few or a whole range of primes. There is good reasons why the 14-24/f2.8 has been a workhorse for so long. I am waiting for a 16-35/2.8E
Personally I have had primes and I find an excellent UWA zoom will cover a lot of ground. I found with UWA primes I would be often limited in my shots when the scene changed and I would have to swap lenses. Each to their own.
In terms of absolute IQ the 14 and 20 Art lenses are stunning!
