Pros:
|
Sorely needed wide angle zoom for digital camera. Nice and sharp. Good colors.
|
|
Cons:
|
Worst lens I own for flare once the sun gets anywhere near the horizon and 90 degrees off axis.
You'll wish it were f/2.8.
|
|
|
It's quiet, fast and sharp. Very good compliment to the 17-35 f/2.8 AFS. Now if it was f/2.8.....

Pros:

Very well designed lens, optics great, overall performance very...very nice. Love this lens !
|
|
Cons:
|
It is neither compact nor light, but balances very well with my cameras.
|
|
|
What can I say, if you like wide angles then this is for you.
Damn... I miss the DOF scales, this lens is perfect for Hyperfocal.
You can get so..so close and still don't distort, unbelievable for landscapes.

I love it. Finally a true wide. It allows you to get very close  I'm very happy, and it is the lens that will spend the most time on my camera.

Its a very fantastic lens and I really like the way Nikon has arranged the focus vs Zoom rings. The zoomring falls perfectly into my hand when holding the lens in my normal way. Sharp, light, resitance to flare, no rotating front end while zooming or focusing

Cons:
|
PRICE!!!!!

Walked into my local dealer to buy a $50 set of close-up lenses and walked out with this last week. Loved it the minute I used it. Though not a 2.8 design like my 17-35 it is half the weight and fills that minor gap on the wide angle end with the Nikon DSLRs. In the first week I shot several hundred images with it and have been very happy with the performance. Can't wait for the leaves to start turning this Fall and putting it to some really good use. This should be a very strong performer as long as Nikon stays with the same sensor size.

Pros:
|
AFS ! Light weight, contrasty and detailed, lack of flare and ghosting, edge to edge sharpness
|
|
Cons:
|
I hate the focus ring position, it is "backwards" from my other Nikkors. F4 Maximum aperture
|
|
|
I purchased this lens to cover the last "hole" in my kit. I am very happy with this lens , I do alot of indoor shots and really like the zoom range here. As a landscape lens it is really sharp and the images are uncanny in their realism.Alos I do a great deal of flower shooting, this lens minimum focus distance really makes for interesting close up with tons of DOF.
2 thumbs up way up !
