Pros:Chromatic rendering, contained distortion, glare resistance, AF, constant aperture, IF (does not stretch and the front lens does not rotate), compact and light.
Cons:Price of the new today, drop in sharpness at the edges at 12mm f4 (under certain conditions can be a merit), was one of the first pro Plasticoni, lack VR.
Opinion:"Perfect" wide-angle zoom for focal lengths on DX. I bought it for a D200 around 2006 I think and I still have it today. I have always liked the chromatic rendition, typical of the Nikon lenses of the time that was (de Gustibus). Good sharpness even at the edges from 5.6. At 12mm f4 instead loses much detail at the edges but already at 14mm improves and at 16mm it works. However at 12 CT standing below, close, the softness at the edges becomes a value giving a pleasant sensation of bokeh like FF, depth and detachment, I keep it for this. Usually on DX I like to work TA because the PDC of the reduced format with a little ' attention allows it to the advantage of the three-dimensionality of the images. If you want you can also make the portrait set with good results. To be a wide angle pushed the distortion is really minimal. It doesn't like the filters you can do without. But where it really excels, and among the wide angle zooms is perhaps undefeated even today, it is in the resistance to flare and reflexes. For those who love backlighting is a must have. It could probably be affected by the weight of the years. I would be curious to try it on a D500. Who uses it on DX sensors around 20MPX and knows how to handle wide angles, speaks well and says it solves them but I do not venture not having tried. It also offers great satisfactions in architecture and landscape at F8/11 on D300. I don't think it makes sense to buy it again today but they find it used at very affordable prices.
Cons:decline at the edges, distortion on certain occasions
Opinion:I use this lens for about two years on D7000. A lens according to me inevitable in a kit DX. I have preferred to tokina 11-16 as the resistance to flare the nikkor is much higher! Found used 700 Euro, it is almost always mounted. The sharpness of the edges is not very high and sometimes 12 to 16mm the distortion is such that they should throw away the photos. It 'a lens that must be studied and understood in order to obtain the best, definitely not for everyone.
Pros:color rendering, construction, resistance to flare
Cons:sharpness to 12 mm at the edges, price new samples
Opinion:The use of four months on the D7000, especially for mountain landscapes. It 'compact, lightweight, well-built, a beautiful rendition with warm colors. The distortion is acceptable and imperceptible in the landscapes, of course, is most noticeable in the architecture, but in my opinion it returns pleasing shots. It lacks a bit of sharpness at the edges to 12 mm, but this also acceptable, and recoverable in PP without going overboard. More manageable 10-24 that I tried. Excellent in backlight, flare almost absent. The new price is very high, I've got it used, otherwise I would not recommend preso.rnLo
Pros:excellent sharpness, little distortion, light, fast autofocus
Cons:currently not found
Opinion:bought used recently, before I used Tamron 10-24 mm lens discreet, this is another cosa.Utilizzo on a D90, sometimes on a D300.Mi am wonderfully well, it gives me a lens that all fare.l'obiettivo I carry when I go out without equipment, gets a bit of tutto.Veramente ottimo.Consiglio purchase good quality / price ratio, used of course, the figure on the back is, in my opinion, a bit high.
Pros:Light weight, easy handling, high clarity, low distortion, fast autofocus, good yield cromatica.rnCon the advent of FF now these lenses are used at a very good price.
Cons:At the moment I have not found.
Opinion:I own this perspective alone 5 days, my opinion on the 12-24 is largely positive, I only did a few shots has a nice color rendition, given the short focal length is used well by hand in all light situations, the images are sharp and detailed, the distortion was a pleasant surprise for me as it is more than acceptable for a focal length of 18mm on fx, in any way distorts less than 20afd I own both tempo.rnQuoto from those who preceded me at the minimum focal length can not be use a 18mm with disinvoltura.rn
