Had my son out yesterday in hopes he'd get the bug.
He enjoyed himself with the P&S.
Hopefully soon I can get him a DSLR setup
if he gets in to it.

After long contemplation. I decided to get Nikon 24/1.8g. At the end, it was between 28/1.8g and 24/1.8g. I then, realized, that contax 28/2.8 is still quite a fun lens, and I don't need another 28. On the other hand, 24 range is hard to MF for family snap shots.. I had to do AF fine tune +7, but, at least once done, it seems consistent. ( different from 58/1.4g ) I am learning this lens, and so far I like what I am seeing. Very different from Zeiss wide angle primes. With Nikon, I have 14-24, and 24-70. Love them all, but 24mm is not their strong area. I hope, I learn the strength of this lens, and hopefully fall in love. I am kind of slow in really understanding what I like about each lens. Good thing is, I am in no rush.
Some initial shots. All with D810. All at 1.8 Reviewers always mention about vignette at WO. Interestingly for me, I love vignette, and I don't like lens without it.

Very nice series Luka. Especially like the station interiors. I have considered 20, 24, and 28 in the Nikon 1.8 G series. Still have not made a decision.

I might want to take a lesson from you how to take flower shots. I am so bad at it, it is not even funny. Too bad you are on the opposite side of the sphere.

LukaVery nice series Luka. Especially like the station interiors. I have considered 20, 24, and 28 in the Nikon 1.8 G series. Still have not made a decision.
I really like the light weight. I was looking for a light weight wide angle AF to make a AF trio with 58.1.4g and 85/1.8g. I have wide end covered with 14-24 and Zeiss 21mm. So, 20mm was not really on my list. It was harder with 24 and 28. I like 28 as focal length. 28/1.8g tends to be criticized with field curvature and focus shift, but I also thought 24 may be a bit too wide for walk around. So I was going to give 28 a try anyway, then 28 1.4E came out, that got me confused, especially by looking at Charles' gorgeous shots, I was tempted. I lost my aim. Images were too alluring. It took a while for me to remember what I really was looking for was a light weight walk around lens, Finally, I was back on track between the 24 and 28 1.8g. What pushed me toward 24 was actually that contax 28/2.8 which I also own is also super light weight, and I love the rendering. So, it didn't really make sense to get another 28 for light weight reason. So if I get another 28, it all be 28 /1.4E But that will not be for a while.
Regarding 24, I am definitely still studying the lens. It is sharp, I like the rendering. It is definitely on the neutral side in comparison to older lenses. Barrel distortion is a bit strong for frontal architectural shots. Not nearly as bad as 24-70 at 24mm, but it is noticeable for flat on shot.
Like this one

It is quite sharp, and I like the bokeh so far
https://www.nikonimages.com/gallery/1100/U1100.1542489329.2.jpg
For architecture, in the end, best would always be PCE lens, but, it is quite handy, and 24mm is a good focal length. more honest than wider lens like 20, 19, or 17 mm.

I am waiting for better light to see how strong morning sun will render on this lens.

Thank you Luka for your kind words With spring here there are so many flowers now. You are more than welcome to visit us anytime!

The D810 is just an amazing camera and still I feel the 36MP's is the perfect compromise.

Charles,
I recall you didn’t have good impression with 24/1.8. What was the issue, if you don’t mind me asking?
Yes. D810 is still a pretty good camera. D850 looks amazing. Only thing I will have hard time adjusting is lack of pop up flash as I use it all the time in command mode.

I did buy the 24/1.8G and it is meant to be very good but I did not gel with look or rendering. Maybe my copy was not so good as I was seeing a lot of CA at f/4. The 24/1.8G is very sharp as is the 20/1.8G which I do have but rarely use. My issue is that I am not really UWA shooter so many WA's I do not like except the 14-24G. This is why the 28E is ideal
Yes with the D850 the lack of onboard the flash is a downside but the flash often gets in the road when you packing the D810 in a tight bag. The newer flash system is much better but I do wish the transmitter was built into the D850 without having to buy another add on.
