Nikon - AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens - Black

This is a great lens and I am very happy with purchase. Note: if you think you're going to need to use flash, remember to use/buy a hot-shoe attached speed-light. This is due to the built-in flash being too low to get around the wide barrel of this lens (even without the hood attached)... resulting in a large shadow in the frame.

Still getting used to the wide angle aspect. The greatness of this lens really shows up when shooting in wide open areas. Heading out west in a few weeks can't wait to try it out in Arizona and Utah.

A recent trip to the Grand Canyon showed the limitations of the 18-55 zoom and I knew I needed the 10-24mm ultra-wide Nikon Lens and it has fully lived up to its design. Very sharp and no distortion when shot level. Color and contrast from this lens is superb.

This is an excellent dx lens for any of the Nikon dx camera bodies. There is no substitute for the 10mm end and the zoom to 24mm allows you to get just the right shot no matter the subject. Forget the fisheye lenses and get this one. Forget the 12-24mm because you're buying a macro to shoot at the widest opening so you'll eventually regret not getting this one. Build quality is solid and the glass is Nikon glass which is both clear and crisp. This lens will hold its value for years to come and will fit Nikon camera bodies of the future. Highly recommend getting the Nikon brand neutral filter to go along with this.

I had read professional reviews that the durability was not quite great. However, after using it on a recent trip to the north east coast, it will be one of the lens that will accompany me all of the time. The first time I used it, I got the WOW reaction. I was able to go to museums and get a complete image standing only 10 feet away from the display. Landscape photos were just as breathtaking. I had purchased a filter to protect the lens, but I found my shots were so much clearer sans filter. Unless you really need a filter, the Nikon lens cover is just fine. It is definitely worth the price if you really want true wide angle shots. I am shooting with a Nikon D7100, and am pleased with both products. I gave it 4 stars because it looks cheap. But, after using it, what matters is the shot. The quality of the shot makes up for the appearance of the lens. I highly recommend this lens.

I Tried the 12-24 and returned the lens I read ken Rockwells review and he is so on target. With everything He says about this lens I couldn't agree more

with family get togethers or scenery shots - this is the best lens I've ever had

I'm an amateur photographer and I do family pictures for a lot of friends. This lens has greatly improved the quality of those pictures.
