9 Unbelievable Camera Lenses that Actually Exist (including the 6mm Nikon fisheye) - PopPhoto
"We've pulled together some of the most extreme photographic lenses ever made. Sure, the military or other big corporations may have even crazier glass (NASA, we're looking at you), but we tried to stick with rangefinder, medium format and SLR compatible optics big-spending photographers could actually buy."

"The Nikon 10.5mm Fisheye can in most respects be compared to it's older brother the Nikon 16mm f/2.8 Fisheye. When comparing the two lenses side by side the performance is almost identical. I feel that the 16mm has an edge wide open in regards to sharpness, but other than that they are very similar."

16mm f2.8 AI review by Fredrik Rasmussen
"The Nikon manual focus Fisheye-Nikkor does not stand the test compared to the more modern Nikon 16mm AF Fisheye-Nikkor. The AF version is quite a bit better than this old dinosuar."

Shooting the 16Fish by Moose Peterson
"It’s 180 degrees uncorrected coverage is just amazing! You might think such a lens more gimmick then tool, but it’s gorgeously sharp. One of  more common uses of the 16Fish is for the landscape. This is a great lens for that purpose."

"...if you are into street, event, culture or reportage photography and looking for a light, pocketable and unobtrusive fast wide angle lens, then go e-baying for a reasonably priced AF 18mm Nikkor, you’ll fall in-love with it once you learn its limitations ... but don't buy it for anything else!"

NIKON RELEASES TWO HIGHLY ANTICIPATED WIDE ANGLE NIKKOR LENSES DESTINED TO BECOME PHOTOGRAPHER FAVORITES
"The Ultra-Wide 16-35mm f/4 VR and Ultra-Fast 24mm f/1.4 Lenses Provide Photographers With New Perspectives and Creative Versatility"

24mm f1.4G AF-S sample photos at DPReview
24mm f1.4G AF-S review at PhotoReview
"As anticipated, the review lens delivered an impressive performance in Photo Review's Imatest tests, which showed consistently high resolution throughout its aperture range."
24mm f1.4G AFS review at PopPhoto
"This lens is clearly flagship glass—with flagship pricing. You may be tempted instead by the bargain-basement cost of Nikon’s film-era 24mm f/2.8 ($340, street), which is still in the catalog, but the older lens is neither as fast nor high-magnifying (1:9), and lacks internal coatings to suppress flare off the sensor."
Wide World - Moose Peterson on the 24mm f1.4G AFS lens
"The 24mm f/1.4G ED is a wicked-sharp lens that has one purpose in my book, and that's wide-angle coverage while isolating the subject."

"Optically, the lens holds its own, despite showing some signs of age: wide open it shows some corner softness, and chromatic aberration is a problem for Nikon bodies which don't automatically remove it. Nikon bodies which do remove it automatically however, breath new life into the lens, and when stopped down to ƒ/5.6, the lens is extremely sharp."

24mm f3.5 PC-E review at PhotoRadar
"This lens is about as far from today’s auto-everything photography as you can get, but it’s also a reminder that electronics alone don’t solve every photographic problem. A perspective control like this demands patience, know-how and deep pockets, but it does things that Photoshop can’t."
24mm f3.5 PC-E review by Michael Weber
"...there is enough room for an advanced mark II of this PC-3 24mm 1:3.5D ED lens, but despite its little flaws I can recommend this current version nonetheless to anybody who is into landscape and architecture photography, or who simply wants to regain the pleasure of slow but mature photography."
24mm f3.5D ED PC-E review at ePhotozine
"During testing this lens has proved itself to be an exceptional quality optic capable of producing high resolution images, with great contrast and also with the added creative benefits of tilt and shift lens movements."

35mm f1.4 AIS review by Fredrik Rasmussen
"This might very well be the ultimate semi wide angle photojournalist lens, if you are on the FX format or if you still shoot film. On the D3 the lens shows quite a bit of vignetting wide open and to f/2.8(f/4 if you want perfection) for photojournalists this is usually not a problem. When you hit f/2 the lens really starts performing."

35mm f2D AF review by Thom Hogan
"FX users have more to consider. If you're looking for a small autofocus prime, the f/2D is your only choice for 35mm in the current Nikkor lineup. The older manual focus 35mm f/1.4 is a good choice if you don't need autofocus, but much more expensive. But neither of these lenses has the corner performance a D3x user might desire."
