Comments about Nikon Nikon 24mm f/2.8D AF Nikkor Lens - with 5 Year U.S.A. Warranty:

I bought this lens as a 35mm equivalent for my D90. Manual focus is a breeze with this lens, it's very compact and light, and a joy to use in field (of course AF works, but the focus ring is so nice to use that I almost always used it in MF). It's too bad that newer Nikon lenses aren't built as well as this lens.

There is only one major drawback to this lens, and it is it's sharpness. This lens is not among Nikon's sharpest lenses. Compared to the 35mm f1.8 DX, the 35 is way sharper at f/1.8 than this lens at f/2.8.

All being said, if your looking for a lightweight wide angle for your full frame Nikon, this lens may be ideal (I haven't tried it myself on FX). On DX, you're probably better off using the 35mm f/1.8 DX (50mm equivalent) which is cheaper, sharper, faster, has faster AF, and is a bit more lightweight. On the other hand, if weight is your main concern and you *need* a 35mm equivalent for your DX, and am prepared for the weak sharpness (just stop down), by all means go for it. It's an absolute joy to use in field.

Okay, the lens is awesome, but so far all my Nikon glass has outperformed all others so I expected it.[...]

I love this lens.Overall quality is great. Not as fast as an AFS lens , but quite sufficient . It is definitely a favorite. On the D700 is exactly what I wanted. It is sharp and fast enough for me.

I have an older (used) version of this lens.
The focus ring is sloppy & worn out so I will definitely be replacing this lens with another identical to it. The fact that they're still in demand and Nikon still makes them after all these years tells you that Nikon really did it right with this lens. Fast AF, lightweight, small, great color. It received good reviews from Ken Rockwell. I have a preference for the older D version lenses and own 4 different types. The AF on D lenses is VERY fast. The tones and colors in images shot with the 24mm f2.8 lens are exceptional and natural. You will definitely notice the difference. The bokeh admittedly is average. The 50mm 1:1.4G is better if you are a bokeh fanatic. I use this type of lens primarily for scenic, nature, landscapes, cityscapes and also for community events, festivals and group shots, i.e. family gatherings. Also Great for sunrise, sunsets. I have used this lens primarily on a Nikon D90. It's a keeper in my bag... but it usually resides more often on my camera. A great all around small, well performing lens in the super wide angle class.

This is a nice lens for the money. Sharp lens but probably made for film cameras. I use this lens on a Nikon d200. Not as wide on this camera as I would like. Slight purple fringing in enlargements. Overall, however, this is a very sharp nice lens. Nikon lenses are always worth the money.

I am using this lens with D200 and D70. This lens is very sharp, very good for scenery, much better than zoom lens(18-70mm etc.)

Great wide-angle. Doesn't zoom, but the image quality is dead on. Very solidly built and smooth on AF or manual. I would recommend this lens to anybody.
