Flexible zoom range, lightweight carry-everywhere design and amazing close focus—convenience meets versatility in the full-frame NIKKOR Z 24-105mm f/4-7.1
Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED Lens has the widest ever zoom among the f/2.8 ones. The Nano Crystal Coat and the petal-shaped hood keep the flaring and ghosts far away! If you are searching for the broadest zoom for your Nikon cameras, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED Lens could be the best choice for you. Thanks to the flexibility provided by a range of ultra-wide-angle focal lengths, It gives you the most comprehensive view from all sides so that you can capture the perfect frames. It is an ideal option for a wide range of occasions like nature photography, interior shoots, and portrait applications. Our Take on the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED Lens: The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED Lens design goes well with the FX-format sensors. However, it can also work fine with DX models, giving an equivalent focal length in the range of 21-36 mm. In addition to its wide angle of view, the lens is also distinguished by its f/2.8 constant maximum aperture, which provides consistent efficiency and illumination across the whole of the zoom range. It adds to the perfection of the result and renders the images more realistic. The diaphragm of the lens is constructed of nine rounded blades that offer a perfect circular bokeh with its useful out-of-focus characteristic. It also helps in providing a better output when working with a shallow depth of field. The autofocus feature is controlled by a Silent Wave Motor that gives a near-silent, smooth, and precise focusing. Also, there is a manual override function to use any time you require to focus manually for both still photography purposes or video capturing. The focus function works based on an internal focusing mechanism. It implies that only the lens groups will move inside, maintaining the overall external size of the lens unit, adding to greater convenience in using it. The Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2

Lives up to the expectations & then some.
I needed a wider prime lens that would give me low light capabilities to go along with my D750. I shoot landscapes and indoor concerts so I have a needed for a larger aperture than my f/4 zooms had to offer, along with a shorter focal length prime than my current 50mm & 85mm f/1.8 primes. The 20mm f/1.8 is noticeably sharper in the corners than my 24-120mm f/4G ED VR is at 24mm shot at the same apertures. I've used the 24-120mm for landscapes but sometimes I was wanting more corner sharpness and a bit wider of a lens; this 20mm f/1.8 definitely delivers! I also have the 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED that's my go to landscape lens but its smaller aperture doesn't lend itself to those low light concert shots. After comparing the 20mm f/1.8 to the 18-35mm at 20mm I was very pleased to see that the 20mm f/1.8 is slightly visibly sharper in the corners to my eye, but not by much as the 18-35mm is pretty stellar in that regard as well. I've only done back yard testing with the lens so far, but it's passed with flying colors. Attached is a handheld shot taken with the lens at f/5.6, ISO100 and 1/100. They are both the same shot with a close crop to show the amazing resolving power and detail this lens can produce. This was a RAW shot with nothing done to it other than using lightroom to export the .jpg files.

Amazing
Great lens! Took this with me on a yellowstone trip last weekend! It performed excellent. Used it for landscape shots. Glad I added it to my kit! Paired this with my D610.

AWESOME LENS!
I read and watched tons of reviews on-line; allowing me to determine I REALLY WANTED THIS LENS. From all the reviews and professional commentary on the subject, it appears NIKON has the best 20mm 1.8 on the market. As for my experience, I love the fact the lens is razor sharp even wide-open at f/1.8...Fabulous little lens, which happens to be 77mm in diameter allowing to share filters with the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 ED & others.
