This remarkable professional lens features a Nano Crystal coating to reduce the effects of ghost and flare and delivers edge-to-corner sharpness that can surpass that of equivalent fixed focal-length lenses.
this is an absolutely incredible lens.
Its intended use is on a Full Frame camera like the D3 or the D700, but you can of course use it on any Nikon DX camera; it would however be a waste on a DX camera, because the 14-24F4 is smaller, lighter, and wider (on DX) than the 14-24. On an FX camera the 14-24 is of course wider than the 14-24 (equivalent 18-36 on FF).
Its optical performances are stellar. This is with absolute certainty the best ultrawide lens for DSLR cameras. It is better than Nikon's wide primes, and it is at least as good or better than some very expensive exotic lenses like the Carl Zeiss manual focus lenses. It has been optimized for digital cameras, implying less lightfall in the corners. It contains Nikon's fabulous N-glass which certainly contributes to its performances. Some Canonians will buy an adaptor ring and accept the fully manual operation of this lens on their canon bodis to be able to fully exploit its performances.
Be aware, this is a BIG and heavy lens. There is no way to put filters on it.
