Used Sigma 24mm f/1.8 EX Aspherical DG DF Macro AutoFocus Wide Angle Lens for Nikon AF D Cameras.

Although this lens is much cheaper than the equivalent Nikkor AFS 24 f/1.4 it's a tremendous bargain based on the cost of the $1999.00 Nikon with a cost savings of $1450.00! It delivers amazing images, sharp and contrasty especially with a good cicular polarizer. The best part is the amazing 1:2.3 macro or close focusing ability of this lens. Wide angle macro's are simply a lot of fun and adds a different perspective to wide angle photograhy.

My sample was not focusing correctly on Nikon AF bodies (F5, D300). Focus was just really off. It is very built, heavy, metal. On an FM2, the manual focus allowed for relatively sharp pictures at f1.8. Not amazing, but OK for price paid. I returned mine and do not know if will try another anytime soon.

This is a very good lens regardless of price. Sharp focus, very little light fall off at any focal length, very versitle and produces great bokeh! If it is an EX lens...especially a Macro lens...think Sigma. All day over Nikon!

Some great outdoor shots with polarizer.

Photo quality is excellent. Pictures are sharp and have great color. This is my indoor/low light/night lens. I just thought I busted my lens when the focusing mechanism was moving forward a bit. I just realized that this was how Sigma designs its manual focus - slide the lens by a few mm's. I'd rather have a switch AF/MF.
