User Reviews and Specs | Submitted by Alex, Sep 01 2013 02:44 AM | Last updated Sep 27 2013 12:36 AM
The fast maximum aperture of F1.4 ensures a bright viewfinder image as well as a smooth background blur. The lens has a built-in autofocus motor and features nano coating.
On an FX camera this lens is a moderate wide angle lens suitable for interiors, weddings, photojournalism and landscape photography.
On a DX camera this lens has the field of view of a normal lens and is suitable for low-light and general photography.

While this lens is a bit pricey, you can expect it to deliver solid performance accross the board. I use it mainly for landscapes and low-light photos, as well as astrophotography. Don't be afraid to stop down with this lens, as it delivers respectable image quality even wide-open. Highly recommended for an FX DSLR user who wants a versatile and fast wide-angle.
I have a 20mm "goto" lens, I use most of the time. But I certainly do love this lens. Rented one for 4th of July and fell madly in love with it. But the price is a bit much. However Nikon makes a cheaper one that looks very enticing. Gotta get one!
