Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy a wider angle of view with the Nikon 12-24mm autofocus zoom lens, which is optimized for Nikon digital SLR cameras. The lens offers such features as a 2x zoom ratio, an exclusive Silent Wave Monitor that allows for accurate and quiet high-speed autofocusing, two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for minimized chromatic aberration, and three aspherical lens elements for low distortion. Nikon's D-type design, meanwhile, provides precise distant information for the flash and ambient light exposure processes. Perhaps the nicest feature, however, is the small image circle--the size of the image that's projected by the lens onto the sensor--which produces an optimal image from the center to the edge to the corner. Other details include a variable angle of view from 99 degrees (at 12mm) to 61 degrees (at 24mm), a rounded diaphragm that makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural, and an 11.8-inch close focus distance throughout the zoom range. All Nikon lenses carry a five-year warranty. - Focal length: 12-24mm

 beautiful glass September 1, 2008
D. Ryan (Southern California)
I selected this lens after reviewing this, Sigma, Tokina, and other's wide-angle zooms. I am so happy with this lens so far, and, for the money, feel like I made the right choice. The glass is very sharp corner-to-corner, and focusing is quick and silent. I do a lot of home interiors, and landscape, so this lens really fits the bill.
Love this lens August 30, 2008

I've always wanted this lens and finally broke down and bought it. It is now my favorite lens for my D300. Sharp pictures, excellent contrast and colors. Wish I had bought this sooner. Fantastic for indoor pics with an SB400 bounce flash.
 Pricey and not worth it August 10, 2008

This is an excellent lens. Well-built and sharp. HOWEVER, so is the Tokina version at half the price. I tested both and couldn't tell the difference in the images. Used the other $500 for something else.
Excelent purchase April 15, 2008

I was hesitating between the sigma 10-24mm and this lens. There is a big difference in price but after reading all the Amazon reviews and some more I decided to go for the Nikon. I own a Nikon D200 and have the 18-200mm VR lens, the 80-400mm Nikon VR lens and the Sigma 105mm macro lens. Talking about optics I can not complain about the sigma macro lens but talking about look and performans I really prefer Nikon lenses. This wideangle zoom lens I consider was the lens I was missing to have a complete set of shooting options. It feels good, looks good and most important of all it performs outstanding.
Crazy Good DX Wide Angle March 7, 2008

A friend suggested I get this wide angle lens for my D40. At first I was reluctant because of the price. I'm glad I took his advice however. I've taken about 600 shots on this lens so far, and every one of them is clean. Zero blurry or fuzzy or vignetted shots.
The color is excellent, and 12mm is wide enough to have some serious wide angle fun. The lens has not gotten in the way of taking crazy shots.
