Incidently when I look at Nikor 14-24 2.8 vs TS17, on the-digital-picture.com, the TS17 is way better. I am not sure that is a fair comparison though 17 vs 14. http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx?Lens=487&Camera=453&Sample=0&FLI=0&API=3&LensComp=615&CameraComp=614&SampleComp=0&FLIComp=0&APIComp=4

Did it again at 17 on TS17 and 18 on 14-24 at f8 and they are pretty comparible. So 14-24 is not very sharp at 14. Less sharp in 14L and even the Samyang 14 at 14mm. Comparing to 17-40L at f8, Nikkor 14-24 might be slightly better.

Conclusion: Primes are sharper - no surprise. And although 14-24 is pretty good zoom it is not nearly as good as 14L at 14 or 17TS at 17.

Which takes me to the tentative conclusion - 14-24 is not that much better than 17-40L. So if I want better its either 14L or 17TS.


Well I\'m sure there\'s some variability in the 14-24 but I\'ve seen better results. IMO this is be ter review of what the 14-24 is capable of.

Impressive tests - it suggests that Nikon 14-24L on 5dii is better than 14L and 16-35. Thanks for the comparison.
