Update; this lens is the best lens I've ever owned. Shooting wide at14 mm opens up new looks on my photos. And it's sharp with rectilinear lines all the way through just like everyone says.
It's pretty heavy but not cumbersome like the 70 to 200 mm. The build quality is great like everyone says, there's not much original that I can say except that it is a superlative lens and if I were starting over again I would start with this wide angle lens rather than the 24 to 70 mm, then I would go to the 24 to 70 and the 70 to 200 mm but I went 24 to 70 mm then onto the 70 to 200 mm. I just think this wide lens is much more versatile than the other two in the unique look you can achieve photographically and I absolutely love it for portraiture. I'm not a professional just an avid enthusiast. The 70 24 mm and 70 to 200 mm take fine portraits as everyone knows but the 14 to 24 mm takes different portraits and they look unusual but nice in a different way that can't be achieved with the other two lenses. Being able to photograph my grandchildren up close and getting expansive backgrounds, I like it and it looks different, more dramatic or comical. It's this kind of flexibility that makes this lens special or at least one of the attributes that make it so special.
It is expensive but I don't regret buying it.
This lens is a workhorse, built to stand up to the most demanding situations and yet is easy to carry and a snap to use. I have had mine for several years now and would not go anywhere without it. For landscapes it is a jewel. With an incredible depth of field one can have the most delicate wild flower sharply in focus with the majesty of lake and mountain, all in magnificent detail. The world is one's canvas and this lens is the brush. It is almost impossible not to make a beautiful photograph with stunning clarity and detail.
I have found no focal length that does not function above the level of my expectation. I have always also enjoyed using wide angle photography to make the subject, when photographing people, a part of their environment and this lens does that exceptionally well. I find when I travel I can take this lens and my Nikkor 28-300mm f3.5 and cover everything I need. Of course I have other lenses that I love, but when space and weight are critical, these two lenses cover all the needs. The built in lens
Of course I cannot personally compare it to other manufacturers, particularly Canon, since I have never used their products. But I have used many many of Nikon's products over the years and many Nikkor lenses. For good reliable performance in a rock solid line of precision built equipment, one cannot go wrong with this lens. Happily mine is made in Japan and I believe they still are. I would never skimp on the lens when buying photographic equipment since this is what is really between the subject and the CCD. This is what makes all the difference, so is it worth the money? Yes, every last cent. I highly recommend this lens, it is everything it should be and more.
Picture quality is outstanding. There is minor barrel distortion when used at the 14mm end, and minor vignetting when used wide open at 2.8. However, the barrel distortion quickly dissipates as you zoom in some...and vignetting is gone by f/4. Corner to corner, the images are extremely crisp (as opposed to its little brother, the 16-35mm lens, which is horrible at the wide end) throughout the entire zoom range. There is very minor light falloff to the corners at the wider end when also used at 2.8, but it's hardly noticeable to all but the most strict pixel peepers.
Color distribution and contrast is well managed...I have never noticed significant color fringing (chromatic aberration) at any f stop, even in wide dynamic range environments. And, this lens does a remarkable job handling scenes with wide dynamic range in general...for landscape photographers, that's an extremely important trait, as this lens renders bright horizons/skies with darker foregrounds extremely well. In these situations, the image isn't oversaturated with colors that are harsh to look at. Instead, it tries very hard to render the image how you want to see it. It's rare that I have to do much desaturation of an image with this lens.
It's somewhat heavy, but easily hand-holdable if you so choose. For a comparison, physically its sort of a little version of the 200mm f/2. It's a bit bulky, but not long, so the camera doesn't suffer from significant (and annoying) front-tippage. As a result, its nice and balanced when used on a tripod.
The biggest drawback to this lens is its inability to hold a filter in the traditional, screw-on way. Instead you have to opt for an aftermarket filter holder like the Lee SW150, which is a contraption that mounts to the front of the lens, making it possible to hold 6" X 6" filters. The Lee filter is not cheap, so if you intend to use this lens with filters, be prepared to invest a lot more than just the cost of the lens up front.
That said, using this lens with the SW150 proves to be easy, and very rewarding. This lens absolutely shines for long exposure photography in landscapes and waterscapes. I've shot many a waterfall, rivers, beaches, and farmland in long exposure with the SW150 and neutral density filters, and it all works to perfection, consistently and accurately. On the 14mm ultra-wide angle end of this lens, the depth of the image literally pulls the viewer into the scene, a beautiful trait for landscape shots. On the longer end, the distortion levels out and you get an outstanding, wide-normal perspective that is exceptionally well balanced from corner to corner.
Autofocus is quick and practically silent...you can hardly tell its working, which is the highest praise I can give an autofocus mechanism. Manually focusing is simple and enjoyable. The focus ring turns smoothly and affords the photographer the ability to precisely nail the focus point, without any "drift" of the ring after you release your grip. The focus ring stays firmly in place if you re-compose after focusing.
The construction of the lens is top notch. It feels as if it's hewn from a magnificent chunk of composite granite. It's solid and rugged...easily able to survive a clumsy drop or two, and holds up just fine in poor weather condition.
To sum it all up, you will never find a better wide angle zoom lens on the market, anywhere. If you can afford it, don't even think about it...just buy it. You will have no regrets.
