Product Description
The fast, wide-angle to medium telephoto AF-S zoom lens from Nikon is optimized for edge-to-edge sharpness on both the Nikon FX (23.9 x 36mm) and DX-format image sensors, with focus as close as 10.8 inches at the 24 mm. setting. Enhanced optical formulas, engineered to produce exceptional sharpness, contrast and color, render outstanding image integrity, while two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements and PGM aspherical lenses futher control chromatic aberrations at even the widest aperture settings It has an exclusive Nano Crystal Coat to reduce ghosting and flare for even greater image clarity. The Nikon Silent Wave Motor (SWM) enables ultra high-speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and powerful, super-quiet operation, while the Internal Focus (IF) provides fast and quiet auto focusing without changing the length of the lens and M/A Focus Mode switch enables quick response to changing situations between Auto and Manual focus operation. With all these features, as well as an incredible resilience to dust, water and general wear and tear, the Nikon 14-24mmf/2.8G ED Lens is a welcome way to meet your telephotography needs. M/A Focus Mode switch enables quick response to changing situations between Auto and Manual focus operation Two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements and PGM aspherical lenses control chromatic aberrations and enhance the image even at the widest aperture settings Exclusive Nano Crystal Coat further reduces ghosting and flare.

Dreamy lens September 21, 2008
David S. (USA)
Just returned from a landscape workshop and, of my four lenses (24-70, 70-200, & 50/1.4), I found myself returning to this lens time and time again. The optical quality is just superb. The contrast and clarity of the images are startling. Because of the bulbous front element which reminds me of "Hal" from "2001-A Space Odyssey", no filters will fit this lens.
Near Perfect on DX or FX August 8, 2008

This is the dogz bollox when it comes to sharpness, contrast, colour rendition and clarity. Spend the money, don't whine about the weight and be amazed at the pictures you will produce.
Expensive but look what it does July 28, 2008

$1550 for a lens with a 10mm range?
Yes, and worth it.
First, if you use this on a combination of FX and DX bodies, you have a range of 14 to 36 mm. You cover every wide angle prime -- 14mm, 18mm, 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, 35mm, in one package. Not bad. Add the fact that the ISO 6400 on the FX Nikon bodies is fantastic and there's no need for 1.4 or 2.0 max apertures, you got a very versatile package in this lens.
But even if you couldn't get 14-36 coverage, this lens would be worth the dough because it is so sharp. The first time I opened a group shot done with this lens I was blown away by the detail and sharpness. I have never seen this kind of quality out of a Nikon lens, and I own a lot of them. It is great. Colors are saturated, flare well controlled and the lens handles very nicely. I've used it in low light and the 2.8 shots are as good as the f/8 shots. A fantastic lens; wish I had the money to buy its cousin, the 24-70, but I have to content with the 28-70 for now.
If you can afford only one Nikon wide angle lens, make it this one.
Phenomenal WA Lens for Nikon DSLR July 20, 2008

Gorgeous super sharp WA lens. Sharp corner to corner, at wide open aperture, at entire zoom range. The color is just pop. It is better than my AFS 17-35 (sharp only in the center, at wide open, need to stop down for sharper entire frame).
At 1st, I kind of reluctant to try it since I have 17-35 already. But after I tried it, holly smokes, I MUST to have it. It is has kind of quality that I cannot get from 17-35. The color and bokeh is just way more pleasing to my eyes. It makes D300 shows its capability in WA department.
NO filter ring is the only my draw back. I guess I have to make my own custom Lee filter holder myself. The IQ of this lens is very hard to resist. It is worth the price.
Flare is a problem, but it can be controlled easily with your technique. Most WA lenses have flare problem. I think this lens has the least.
I am not a WA guy, but after owning this lens I start to take panoramic photos.
For weddings, this lens is an absolutely must use lens.
If you need real High Quality WA lens, this IS THE LENS.
BTW, that bulbous almost protruding lens shape looks sexy, attracts quite a lot of interest at several parties. It is not fish eye lens, as many thought.

amazing quality lens. Will give you a workout when mounted on a D3 as it is no small lens, but the images it can capture are amazing.
