Pros: Very good overall quality

Cons: Contrast sometimes too 'obvious'

Opinion: Superb construction. Good/very good sharpness comparable to the best German 18mm contemporaries. Compared to the other Nikkors, I found the contrast too aggressive and not really suitable for a 'wedding' complexion, but for the rest (architecture and documentary above all) his 'grit' provided impressive and qualitative images. Moderate, non-invasive sprain. Vignetting never noticed. Interior reflections never seen before...

Pros: perfect ultrangandagolare

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I'm owner of many nikon ais optics, not because I don't use those autofocus, but mostly because I still like to focus on my own, not that the reflex pilots me, put the diaphragms manually east, and then the mechanics of how these optics are made It is astounding a precision and optical mechanic that unfortunately is now unthinkable to be able to do it and sustain it with market prices. Optics that are 30-40-50 years old with assembly precision unthinkable in the present day. However returning to our lens, I find myself very well both as distortion and maybe because using it in landscapes and nature is not very accentuated and is well undercontrol, sharpness that already from f.8 becomes stunning and at f.11 becomes exceptional . Then not least a focus at cm.30 that allows to blur 3.5 in the foreground. For me and I add for me is an irreplaceable lens. Thank you and good photography.
