As recently as a few years ago, before Nikon learned to mass produce aspheric elements, manufacturing this complex 14 element lens at reasonable cost would have been impossible. Compared to the earlier 12-24mm, significantly wider angle. A nice suprise is that this DX lens can also be used FX, with some limitations of course. Although it will give the full zoom range only when used on the smaller DX format, it actually covers the frame of an FX camera - not over the full range but from 24mm down to about 18mm focal length, with acceptable vignetting (edge darkening). I am using it that way on my film Nikon F6 and digital D700. (For the D700, turn the DX Crop default OFF and turn the Vignette Control to HIGH.) This is pretty cool because it means that someone who wants only occasional use of an 18-24mm lens on a full frame camera does not have to go...

Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S DX, This review is from: Nikon 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S DX Nikkor Wide-Angle Zoom Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Camera) Nikon 10-24mm SOLD! This will be my last entry here, but please consider my original review as well, since it still applies.If you notice in my original review, I never really mentioned that the Nikon 10-24mm is "very" sharp, clear, contrasty, etc. Though I've achieved fairly sharp landscape shots with the lens, it's honestly been rather a struggle to do so. Shooting at 10mm really "pushes" the landscape into the distance where one may wish to see sharp details, whether grass, trees, hills/mountains, etc. The perspective is striking, especially with cloudscapes, yet distant details clearly suffer from lack of detail and can be "mushy." In other words, background elements don't resolve as well at 10mm as they would with a more normal lens such as my Nikon 16-85, 50, 70-300, etc. I would say that distant details are rendered about as well as my old 18-105mm kit lens, which is a decent lens, but not the sharpest lens in the bag. Therefore, I've reluctantly sold my 10-24...

With the exception of one recent bad copy of the Sigma they were all notably better than the 10-24 in the corners. My copy of the 10-24 is nice in the center, but all four corners were uniformly degraded. Every other WA lens I have owned cleans up very fast in the corners at 10-12mm and by f/5.6 was nearly as good as f/11. Not so with 10-24, which is mushy in the corners at f/3.5 and improves only gradually as it is stopped down, with peak sharpness at a bit over f/11. At f/11 it mostly catches up with the third-party lenses mentioned above and Nikon's own 12-24. I have posted sample images on DPR, photo.net, [...], look them up to see what I am talking about. The 10-24 range is ideal for my needs so it is a shame that the performance is not as good as the 12-24, even at 12-14mm. The MTF numbers would have suggested that it would be better. My copy is not. Since all four... Read more |
