p.1 #1 · lets see those amazing 14-24mm FF pics

from what i've read of any review anywhere, you guys and everyone else say the 14-24mm is the best wide angle out there currently and how great an FF lens it is. i have yet to see pics to back up all that talk, what do you guys have for me?

Heyo,
Two from a recent wedding, just some quick edits thrown down so I could show em to ya!

Evan

PS that first one is bugging me, I'm still trying to figure out whether I want to crop out the top or what I want to straighten it to lol. So don't nitpick on that!

The quality of this lens is just phenomenal though...

@ Lumen01

Crop the top

turn it into a 4x5 or so, the single red horizontal bar just breaks the rhythm. Beautiful image!

I really want one of these just for interior work. I haven't shot a landscape in a year or two.

How about we flip it around and you show us something out there that is better ?

i've seen plenty an amazing WA picture, but not alot of 14-24 pics for the amount of discusstion and praise put on it, i haven't used it before so i couldn't tell you if IMO it is in fact living up to it's name and praise. personally i do landscape WA in decent light, so a 2.8 aperture and an AF-S motor are 2 costly features i don't need and rather not pay for, a regular AF and anything from F4-5.6 Constant or not can work for myself. keep em coming guys!

Don't ask us for images to prove the superiority of the 14-24 over other lenses. We can only show what we as individual photgraphers can do with then lens. The image is however mostly a result of the talent of the photographer. If you want to compare the perfomance of best WA lenses read what for instance Canon shooters have concluded:

From what you indicate, you probably don't need the lens. That being said, there is NO lens out on the market right now (WA wise) that can live up for sharpness and lack of CA.

If your content with the 4-5.6 lenses though, you probably don't need this lens.

Here is one (a deliberate HDR image - my first) taken with a 14-24mm (set to 14mm) that I had borrowed for a couple of days. I must say that this lens doesn't just perform well, it also balances so nicely on the camera (in this case a D700 with battery grip) and it's a work of art in itself. That said, I'm still not sure I would buy one right now...I'm holding out and waiting to see if a new 17-35mm f/2.8 is announced in the months ahead. I would like to be able to use a filter and I'm not sure that I would miss the 14mm if I have 17mm on the wide end (and to have 35mm on the other end would be more useful), but we all have our different needs.

Then again, if Nikon comes out with some of the rumored lens rebates sooner than an updated 17-35mm...I might put a 14-24mm in my bag after all.

i am well aware that it is indivudual photographers talent and not the camera/lens, i've seen plenty of shooters shotting setups that i personally believe were above there level in terms of there experience and knowledge when i saw there results, my point is simply that if it is as good as it seems there should be no problem showing me images that say so. If you don't believe the individual amateur/proffesionals here can show me good pics with there talent, than please show me who can.

good shots guys, thanks.

I have only had my 14-24 for a little over 2 months maybe. I am usually too busy playing with my new 70-200 to give my UWA a good run. I am trying to broaden my shooting from when I used my older Sigma 10-20 90% of the time. You can pretty much find almost any photo where it is focused on infinity and see what the strongest point of this lens is.. Corner sharpness. Give it time as more people are able to acquire it and production finally catches up with demand. This lens kicks ass.
