Pros: Very Snappy sharp and contrasty images, price secondhand now, Sensible filter size

Cons: Bad barrel distortion, slow aperture at 35mm

Opinion: Had this on my Nikon F100, eventually trading it in for possibly the ideal ultrawideangle Nikon zoom, Nikkor D 17-35mm f2.8, which I still use. Very decent images on the 18-35mm, especially with a polariser (sensibly sized filter). Having always been used to a fast 35mm focal length, I soon found the f4.5 maximum at this setting wearisome. I was also always annoyed at just how much barrel distortion there was at wider settings, with sea horizons placed near the top (I did a lot seascapes!) bending rather too much. If I didn't have my 17-35mm f2.8 now, I might consider the new 'G' update of this 18-35mm spec, presuming that Nikon have redesigned and ironed out the faults (and added AF for all models) in this original and as the 16-35mm f4 is an expensive beast indeed. But if on a budget and a good, but not brilliant, FX ultrawide zoom is what you need, then a good used example could be a good move. 8/10

Pros: FullFrame wide angle valid for low price and low weight

Cons: It sins in some things but if you find it at a good used price it becomes a good choice.

Opinion: To date in 2020 with little money you quietly buy a fixed "competition" much more defined and with less chromatic aberrations, even brighter. However, if you want a full frame zoom and find it at a good price it's always a great choice. It is very light, not large, it has 77mm filters. With 24 and 35mm it is also very useful in architecture and it does well even as 35 "standard". Unfortunately it is not perfect (sharpness at the edges and a bit of aberration) but defends itself well given its years. Recommended only under 24mpix (best 12) in the landscape. If you want the performance take a fixed wide angle.

Pros: Size

Cons: sharpness at the edges

Opinion: It was born as a super-angle zoom, amateur, in the days of film, and has suffered the blow of the emergence of digital. It was my first wide-angle lens on digital, although used on machines with only 6 mpix, I was never thrilled by the quality of the images and the contrast. In my experience it is a lens that can be used on APS and also on FF but on machines with 'few' mpix, such as D300 or D700. Using it on more demanding sensors shows all its limitations, especially in sharpness at the edges. Recommended in the days of the film, as for many other wide-angle 'vintage' I consider it close to obsolescence for digital. I don't rate it because it can't be evaluated on digital machines

Pros: Size, autofocus speed, performance, weight

Cons: sharpness at the edges at full open

Opinion: I needed a wide angle that would add screw filters and be used in hot and dusty conditions without too much fear. I opted for this 18-35 d series. Paid used 175, offers a good range of focals with size and derisory weights. The speed of the autofocus is remarkable (great for street), the ability to mount 77mm filters for me is crucial (yes my dream remains the 16-35 but currently out of budget). It loses sharpness at the edges at full opening, but diaphragm is great all over the frame. I preferred the D because the G-series is at twice the price of this and I don't think it offers twice the performance..... I use it on FF.

Pros: Comfortable focal Range, 77mm filters, light, economical

Cons: Plasticious, optically not excelled

Opinion: Lens that still defends itself, obviously coming down to compromises. It is light, economical, allows the use of filters from 77mm, you can not expect the moon. It was not born for sensors from over 24MPX, but I doubt anyone uses it with these. It is more designed to be a "wide angle street" lens, maybe on a sunny day. If necessary it is in the jacket, and it will not bother you. You can also who knows, mount the tripod on the fly and make some shots "veiled" by mounting an ND filter. Obviously it is not a lens to take in places lost to photograph breathtaking landscapes, it is more a "handyman" of quality to throw in your pocket together with another fixed of good opening. For the figure to which it is sold (now 200 \ \ 250) There is definitely no alternative, considering that it is a lens for FF. Absolutely not recommended on APS-C, where it will be too little sharp for 20 \ \ 24mpx DX sensors. If you are a d800\\d810 owner and looking for a wide angle to use on a tripod for quality shots, it is obviously not a sensible choice, you will certainly be disappointed, but not because the lens is of poor quality, but because you have the wrong goal.
