There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
After I month of use I wanted to say that I go to this lens more than my 105mm Micro f/2.8G and my 50mm f/1.4G (I am building my setup again after a run-in with a thief and I made the decision to only go with primes.) This lens makes the world look like a much better place than it actually is. I have also had the 14-24mm f/2.8G. I was curious on whether I would miss my wide super zoom. Nope. This lens is sharper, faster, lighter, and everything that I need. The 14-24mm is a wonderful lens too, but it is huge and you cannot put filters on it making worthless sometimes. I do not regret this purchase at all, and I highly recommend.

I am writing this review after one day of ownership, but I have used this lens several times in the past. I received a new unopened lens in good packaging from Amazon. Kudos to that since this was shipped to Alaska, adding to the susceptibility of a few more bumps in the road. The copy that I received has dead on accurate focus with my D610. Haven't worked it through it's paces yet, but it is ridiculously sharp at f/1.4. Can only imagine how sharp it will be up a few stops.
As far as my general experience with this particular model, this specific copy aside. They are the sharpest lens out there by Nikon. Bokeh is good when you can make it, you really have to close focus wide open to get it. It is a great portrait lens if you are incorporating background, it is not a great lens for blowing out the background. You also have to be careful with the typical aberrations associated with wide angle lens when using for portraits. This lens is kinder than most with those, but they still do rear their ugly head (or Pinocchio nose.)
This lens is a powerhouse for landscape, cityscape, etc. Great walk around lens. Ridiculously sharp. You have to be used to focusing 1.4's. I highly recommend this lens if you are looking for a sharp, fast, wide angle prime lens. You really can't find much better in that department than this lens.
This is better glass than anything Chihuly makes (I am a fan) :)
I will revise this review if my opinion differs at some point. Hope this is helpful.
Pros:
1. For me the top reason to buy this lens is debt of field control. I love this lens for environmental portraits, where I want my subject/s in focus and the surrounding area in view but less pronounced.
2. Low light shooting at 1.4 is great. But I don't wait for low lint to shoot at f1.4. Image quality on this lens wide open is excellent. No compromises at all. With the excellent high iso performance available and excellent flashes, I do not have to rely on this lens for low light performance to be honest. But it does have the advantage when needed.
3. Very low distorsion, if any. Especially on a DX body where it functions as a 35mm, it requires no correction for distorsion. This means less photoshop work.
4. Given it's quality, I would consider it light. Don't get me wrong it is a heavy lens but it is half the size and weight of the 24-70 2.8.
5. 24 1.4 focuses faster than my 50 and 35.
6. It is very sharp at all apertures.
This is an excellent lens on FX or DX bodies. If you like wide angle, this is going to be your favorite lens, go for it...
I hope this helps

si on ferme de 1 à 2 diaph, il devient excellent...
Attention, c'est un objectif relativement lourd (620gr)...
si, on est moins exigeant il est aussi possible de choisir le Nikon 24mm F/1.8 (355gr) tout aussi bon et moins douloureux pour le portefeuille...
Bis Nikon diesen Fehler korrigiert oder sich zumindest mal dazu äußert, kann ich das Objektiv wirklich niemandem empfehlen. Leider, denn die optische Qualität dieses Objektives ist wirklich mehr als atemberaubend. Wenn es einem gelingt, ein scharfes Bild zu machen (z.B. mit manuellem Fokus und liveview), sind die Ergebnisse unglaublich. Besser als alles, was ich je gesehen habe. Dann sind die Auflösung und vor allem auch Farbübertragung und Kontrast eine Klasse für sich. Aber was nützt es, wenn der Autofokus praktisch nutzlos ist... Ein Umstand, der bei dem Preis dieses Objektives noch ärgerlicher ist.
Update: Ein fünftes gekauftes Exemplar wurde mehrfach bei Nikon justiert. Erst jetzt funktioniert das Objektiv und bringt seine Leistung. Ich bleibe daher trotzdem bei meiner Bewertung von nur einem Stern, da der Aufwand, ein funktionierendes Produkt zu bekommen, einfach enorm war. Wer es trotzdem probieren möchte, kann mit Glück oder viel Ärger ein außergewöhliches Objektiv bekommen. Man sollte es aber wirklich wollen!
Nachtrag: nachdem ich ca. 1 Jahr lang das fünfte Exemplar an einer D700 nutzen konnte, habe ich die Bewertung von einem auf fünf Sterne erhöht. Einfach nur deshalb, weil es - funktonierender AF vorausgesetzt - an einer Vollformatkamera absolut außergewöhnlich ist. Also fünf Sterne trotz des Ärgers!
Vorteile:
- bereits bei Offenblende absolut scharf
Nachteile:
- Fokussierung nicht immer einfach
- langsamer Autofokus
- Gewicht
- Preis
Fazit:
Wer ein lichtstarkes Weitwinkelobjektiv (von Nikon) sucht, muss dieses Objektiv kaufen und wird mehr als glücklich sein. All diejenigen, die noch keine Erfahrung mit lichtstarken Objektiven haben, sollten erst einmal an einem 50mm Objektiv über längere Zeit schauen, was so eine Lichtstarke Festbrennweite bei Offenblende macht, und ob man so etwas auch als Weitwinkel haben möchte. Für einen Anfänger ist dieses Objektiv sicherlich nichts, aber die harten Fans von ambient light Fotografie werden um dieses Objektiv nicht herum kommen.
Als es dann im Amazon Warehouse angeboten wurde war ich doppelt skeptisch, da es ja vermutlich ein Unzufriedener zurückgesickt haben musste.
Da ich aber mit dem Nikonservice sehr gute Erfahrungen habe, dachte ich mir: egal. Kauf es und sende es an Nikon zum Justieren.
Und nun? Günstig gekauft. Auf die D700 montiert und: KEINE PROBLEME! Sehr gut justierter AF. Auch bei 1,4 exakt da wo er sein sollte. Selbst in dunkelster Nacht ohne AF-Hilfslicht sehr gute AF Leistung. Keine Probleme am Tag, in Innenräumen oder in der Dämmerung.
Ich vermute ganz ehrlich, dass einfach viele Hobbyknipser keine Ahnung haben wie präzise man mit Offenblende 1,4 selbst arbeiten muss. Nach dem 50, 85 und 35 ist es nun mein viertes 1,4er.
Bin mit allen hochzufrieden und würde sie wieder kaufen. Aber wie gesagt: Offenblende 1,4 ist im wahrsten Sinn des Wortes ein schmaler scharfer Grat auf dem sich der Fotograf zurechtfinden muss.
Mit der D700 bei 1,4, ISO 6.400 und 1/30 sec. sieht man auf dem Bild in der Nacht im übrigen mehr als mit dem menschlichen Auge!!! Das heißt dieses Objektiv fotografiert mit einer guten Kamera ohne Stativ alles was der Mensch in der Nacht auch sehen kann ohne Blitz! Und von allen 1,4er hat es noch den größten Bereich an Schärfentiefe zu bieten.
Die Fehlabstände wurden mit Zentimetermassen ermittelt, wo man sehr gut sehen kann, welche Millimeterstriche tatsächlich scharf abgebildet werden, und welche eigentlich anvisiert wurden.
Das Objektiv habe ich zurückgeschickt. Für über 1800 Euro muss man nicht einen einzigen Kompromiss eingehen.
Ansonsten ist das Objektiv makellos verarbeitet, solide und schwer. Der Autofokus ist flink und leise.
Leider neigt das Objektiv bei Blende 1,4 zu sehr starker Chromatischer Abberation, das heisst, alle hellen Kanten wie Chromleisten haben bunte Farbsäume. Man muss diese auch nicht mit der Lupe suchen, sondern man sieht sie ohne auf 1:1 ranzuzoomen.
Fazit: Das Nikon 24mm/f1.4 ist neunmal teurer als mein Kitobjektiv, dafür achtmal lichstärker, ist dafür aber zehnmal unschärfer und alle hellen Kanten haben einen lilafarbenen Farbsaum, noch schlimmer wie damals Sony mit seiner Cybershot f828.
