The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Lightweight, excellent autofocus, sharpness, relative value holding considering that it is an F, tropicalization.
Cons:Real against I do not see. Clear that at 18 twists a thread, but there is the pp for that (or the decentralizable).
Opinion:An excellent lens, which ends up remaining mounted for 90% of situations. The autofocus I find quite fast, and the sharpness on the frame very good. perhaps it conveys a bit that sense of plasticity that the G series have passed on us. probably if I had a D850 it would be a bit too tight, but for my D750 it's fine. I am very pleased. On low focal lengths (around 20) clearly affected by the comparison with both the 20Nikon and especially with the 21Zeiss Distagon, but the latter is a technical masterpiece, little to do. Distortion between 18 and 20 is easily corrected in post production, so it's not a big problem. I find the best to give it to 28mm. Highly recommended anyway.
Opinion:I used it with extreme satisfaction with the D600, definitely my favorite lens for landscapes. Very sharp landscape diaphragms without ever particular defects such as chromatic aberrations or flare, light and therefore excellent to carry with you and with the diameter for 77mm screw filters that is always very comfortable. Super recommended optics especially in combination with a D600/610 or D750/780. Now that I no longer own either the D600 or the D750 I can say that it is the only lens that I really miss...
Pros:Excellent sharpness to all excursions and diaphragms, it returns saturated and natural colors. Precise and fast autofocus. Absence of flares even in "difficult" conditions. Robust but lightweight construction. Diameter of only 77 cm., economical.
Cons:My closed diaphragm specimen I find a little dark and prefer in post-production, open the diaphragm of 1.5 stop
Opinion:I bought it second-hand after much indecision, mainly because among the various defects, it was attributed a heavy distortion. I did not find any defect in this lens and the barrel distortion, detected at 18 mm but never excessive, is normal to these focal points and is easily solvable in post production. This lens is giving me a lot of satisfaction, I recommend to anyone.
Pros:Lightness, practicality, tropicalization, flare resistance, fast AF
Cons:Minimum focal "only" of 18mm
Opinion:Used nowhere to be found. Whoever has this goal, does not give it away easily. I took it to replace the Tokina 16-28 2.8 first series. Although I also rated the 16-35 Nikon house, in the end I preferred this because much lighter, more practical and cheaper. Compared to other brighter wide angles it gives the possibility to mount filters with standard measuring holders (which is no small feat). It is a lens that gives great satisfaction especially on the road or in the mountains where the weight in the backpack is an important factor to consider.
Pros:Sharpness, sharpness at the edges even at 18mm, accurate and fast af, contrast and colors, good resistance to the backlight, light, focal range, 77mm filters, cost
Cons:Barrel distortion marked at 18mm but can be corrected without problems in post
Opinion:Taken out of curiosity after trying the most emblazoned 20 and 24 f/1.8G (which I gave away both), if you do not need to shoot below f/3.5 I highly recommend this 18-35. I use it with satisfaction on D810 and I assure you that the least resolution (according to the tests) is not noticed in the slightest, otherwise it is fast, precise, light, it has the focal points that interest me the most and it is very sharp! For those who enjoy the landscapes is ideal but does its job a bit in all situations. It is very light and small in size, I personally also find it very comfortable ergonomically as it is held and handled in a very comfortable way. If you want to put it in difficulty try to photograph two parallel vertical lines, the only defect for me really obvious (but I repeat, solvable in post correcting the lens distortion with ACR or nikon software depending on how you work) : the barrel distortion, which is still noticeable only around 18mm and with lines in the frame that highlight it, for the rest you will not even notice. A hair of more chromatic aberrations than other lenses but they come out only when you put it under stress in scenes with very strong direct light and very high contrast, otherwise never noticed. The vignette is very light and uniform to the most open and never annoying diaphragms, I would say almost pleasant. In my profile you can find some photos taken with this lens to give you an idea. For the price to which it is used today in my opinion is a best buy and a lens absolutely to have without fear of using it with dense sensors like D810. It is worth far more than the average vote indicated! Score: 9.5/10
