Crisp, sharp wide angle
2008-08-17
|
I purchased this lens because I did not want to drop a grand for the Nikon 12-24mm f/4G. After reading professional reviews, I'm glad I saved my money. This lens performs almost identically to the more expensive Nikkor option, at a third the price!
I've used this lens in several very different shooting environments, including ambient light interior shots on a tripod, in harsh sunlight over snow, and for night photography. It performed exceptionally well across the gamut, producing contrasty, sharp images that were everything I could have hoped for.
The lens focus ring doesn't move during auto focus, which makes holding the lens during shooting a bit easier. Manual focus works well: smooth and precise.
A few dislikes:
As others have noted, this lens is bulky! It is over 10" long, and weighs about a pound and a half. It is not a 'walk around' lens.
You cannot use filters with the lens because of the curvature of the front element.
The flare guard is permanent. I would have preferred to be able to take it off, if for no other reason that saving space when packing the lens into my carry bag.
Save your money and get this lens over the Nikkor 12-24mm lens. |

Big lens with big quality
2008-08-07

I like this lens, the pictures are sharp, and with very good colors, the autofocus is fast, you can cacht a lot of complete buldings, like churchs, stadiums, big houses, etc with the 15mm. altough the corners looks with a little distortion, but you can fixed with software, even I like how look those pictures, also you can't take good landscape pictures, and excellent portraits. The minimal focusing distance is 1 ft, but I had taken closer pictures in manual mode with good results.
Thera are tow things i Don't like about it.
1 the size: is a huge lens and bulky.
2 you can't put a uv filter to protect te glasses, you can use some special filters but they have to be between camera body and the lens, but I like to put a protective filter to my lens to avoid damages.
Any way, you will have fun taking shots with this lenses. it worth the money |

Awesome Wide Angle Lens
2008-03-11
|
| Used this lens first with a Fuji S2 Pro for 2 years and then with a recently purchased D200 for shooting a lot of interior automobile shots. Good lens for this application especially when shooting a full dash. Lens hood is integral which is not a problem for me and the overall lens size is well balanced on both cameras. Pics are crisp and clear with minimal distortion at the fringes. This lens just does what I need it to do. Don't hesitate to purchase one. |

Good Lense
2008-02-19
|
| I bought this lense for the purposes of taking wide angle shots during vacations. First of all, the lense takes good pictures. I am an amature and not a pro. I am shooting a Nikon D50. I was able to take pictures that I normally wouldn't have been able to. With that being said, I was surprised at the size of the lense. From looking at the pictures of the lense online, I was not expecting the lense to be so big when it arrived at the house. The lense is bulky and not something that I would want to lug around on a vacation. The reason why I bought this was because I had bought a 55-200 VR lense recently and wanted to add to it. But after lugging it around for a week in Mexico, I think I'm better of spending the extra money and buying the 18-200 VR lense instead. If I was shooting a wedding and had another camera, then this would be a great lense to have on that second camera. Despite that, the lense did what it advertised, I just was aware of the size of the lense. |
