Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8

[...Mole...]

Any one here got one of these?, I have been tempted to get one for a while as a better quality lens to replace my 10-20mm. I would be using it on my D200 but I am planning to purchase a D700 at some point next year.

how sharp is it at 14mm?

I don't have one but hear that it has outstanding performance - one of Nikon's finest lenses.

I have one for my D700 ......it is in one word..."awesome"

Very crisp images at all focal lengths and no vignetting that I can see.
Great lens for indoor shots.

It is expensive but I feel worth every penny.

If there is a downside it is that the front lens is too bulbous to take attach a filter to .....so to use an ND grad I have to hold it in front of the lens...not ideal.

That lens sounds like a blinder!

It is a very good lens. Very sharp at all focal lengths and apertures. Not the most versatile lens but if you want reeeeally wide then there isn't much else. Since getting mine though I wish that someone had told me to look at the 17-35. 90% as sharp by all acounts and much more versatile and takes filters. So I'm offering that advice. HTH

I have one and it is stunning, expensive but as good as similar primes. If you need a zoom at this range then there is nothing better for 35mm. Just make sure you are going to use this focal length enough to make it worthwhile.

I went for the 17-35 as well. I just thought that 24mm was too short. It's a belter for indoors stuff - still a bulky lens though. Weighs quite a bit... also I've noticed that people can be intimidated by it. It's very obviously a "pro" lens with a whopping great piece of glass on the front and although the results are great it's never going to be described as discrete...

The 17-35 is a cracking lens, smaller and lighter than the 14-24 and much more practical, sure it's not quite as wide . . . depends what's important . . .

Funnily enough they seem to hold their value a lot better than the 14-24 also . . .
