Looking at the book shots I think you have a bad copy. I’ve seen much sharper review samples from other online tests.

I agree with JS & Paul’s comments, I don’t think the book photos are sharp at all, and a wide angle is the most forgiving of any focal length. If it’s a bad sample, I think mark would have known it. I wouldn’t recommend this lens for DX at all, and Mark, you referred to it as an “ultra wide angle” when you were describing the rounded blades. B/t/w more blades is a better way to obtain better bokeh results.

So that makes Four 24MM FX and Three 28MM FX Lenses.(plus many overlapping zooms) You can’t blame them for lack of selection, but $700.00 is no bargain here.  I guess they can’t all be winners.

Doesn’t is seem like they were just boasting 65 million Nikkors?
It says they’re up to 70 million now! Thanks for the review Mark.

get the Samyong 35f1.4 or 24mmf1.4 instead, they are much better and faster primes than this nikkor.

Jake, I’m glad you said that. For years I’ve been buying Nikkor only. A couple of years back, while out on a job I needed to go wide. A local store had the TOKINA ATX-116 (11-16MM) But 17-24 on the D700 It got the job done and the quality is unreal. It takes a lot to impress me. The price went up quite a bit since then, but I was thinking about looking into Samyang. THK-  Tokina, for some reason doesn’t make many lenses. I don’t know why, but it’s worth looking into the third party brands. The quality has improved greatly. Thanks for the tip Jake.

Interesting to read everyones comments, I recently spent a lot of time comparing a newer ‘G’ lens (made in China) against the older ‘D’ lens made in Japan. Thanks.

This is one of the best lens I have ever used, on a D800 it is the lethal weapon light sharp simply amazing lens great for pro commercial work it gives hardly any distortion for my portrait style I like to shoot with some background in the shot
I have every Nikon lens this is my best luck I got one when they were cheep , watch this one become an all time classic
