10-24mm f3.5-4.5G AF-S DX review at Shutterbug
"After working with the lens for about a week I came to find it a most excellent companion for nature work and landscape photography, though I’m sure if I had worked with it in my usual haunts on the streets of New York City it would have been just as fun. Having always been a fan of wide-angle lenses and short-ratio zooms, I can say that this is one lens that would always find a welcome home in my camera bag."
10-24mm f3.5-4.5G AFS DX review at PhotoRadar
"Easy to live with, the Nikon 10-24mm combines great handling with simplicity of use and a powerful zoom range."

12-24mm f4G AFS DX review at PhotoRadar
"It’s been around for a while, but Nikon’s 12-24mm super-wideangle zoom is still a very good performer, optically, with great build and handling too. Even with heavy discounting, though, this is an expensive lens, and third-party alternatives are considerably cheaper. It’s a big jump in price for a small gain in quality."
12-24mm f4G AFS DX review at ePhotozine
"Despite being among the first of its kind, Nikon's 12-24mm f/4 DX still holds its own against competition from third party manufacturers and even other manufacturer's offerings. Although the price may seem a little steep, when there are alternatives available which are both wider and cheaper, it's capable of producing images with very good resolution across the frame, even at f/4 and as a result is deserving of its 'pro' designation."

14-24mm f2.8G AF-S review at ePhotozine
"This lens is one of a kind. In terms of resolution, handling and even its resistance to flare and ghosting this lens is excellent, and it outperforms primes in the same focal range."
14-24mm f2.8G AFS review at PhotoRadar
"Extreme lenses almost invariably come with optical compromises, and you can’t get much more extreme than a 14-24mm f2.8 full-frame zoom. And yet the Nikkor 14-24mm’s optical performance is quite staggering. It’s a big lump to handle and it’ll leave a big hole in your wallet, but what a lens this is!"
Wide Lens, Tight Spaces by Joe McNally
"The Nikkor 14-24 f2.8 is a pretty cool lens, but ya gotta be careful tipping that puppy around, or pushing it in way close for a portrait. On board a nuke sub, though, especially with 30 degrees down on the dive planes, it’s gonna get a little tippy here and there, mostly ’cause you’re standing at an angle that generally is reserved for mountain climbing and the like."

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"

16-35mm f4G AF-S VR review at PhotoReview
"The review lens turned in an impressive performance in Photo Review's Imatest tests, which showed consistently high resolution throughout the aperture and focal length range."
16-35mm f4G AF-S VR review at Photozone
"The Nikkor AF-S 16-35 VR is a very good pro grade ultra wide zoom lens that shows excellent resolution in the center, very good border and corner at medium focal lengths, but lacks border and corner sharpness at the shortest and longest focal lengths."
Hands-on review: 16-35mm f/4.0 AFS VR G zoom Nikkor lens by Jason Odell (NikonLinks sponsor)
"The new Nikkor 16-35mm f/4.0 AFS VR G lens is the least expensive of the three super-wide FX zoom options. Its performance, however, exceeds that of the 17-35mm in my testing. It has better sharpness, handles CA better and has better contrast than the 17-35mm. The 14-24mm f/2.8, however, is still the hands-down winner in terms of optical performance."
16-35mm f4G AFS VR review at ePhotozine
"Overall this lens is a very good all round performer being capable of producing images of very good resolution, especially in the centre of the frame where the performance is excellent up to 24mm and very good thereafter. The performance in this respect isn't as stunning as the 14-24mm lens as I'd hoped, but is still very respectable indeed."
16-35mm f4G AFS VR review at DPReview
"The 16-35mm F4 VR is, then, an excellent alternative to the 14-24mm F2.8 as a lighter, more affordable ultra-wide angle zoom for Nikon's full frame DSLRs. The addition of VR, and the ability to accept filters, also adds up to a slightly different set of capabilities, making the 16-35mm in many respects a more practical lens to carry around and use."
16-35mm f4G AFS VR review at PhotographyBLOG
"...the lens is a superb performer. Chromatic aberrations are almost non-existent, corner shading is minimal - being restricted to the extreme corners at 16mm f/4, and too subtle to worry about at other focal lengths and f-stops -, while sharpness - if not quite “biting” - is very good throughout, except along the edges at 35mm f/4."
16-35mm f4 AFS VR review at BJP-Online
"Had this lens been introduced before the 14-24mm, it would have won that “best in class” rosette; if the price was lower it would be easier to recommend. As it stands, around £995 for this lens versus £1295 for the 14-24mm, I would try to find the extra £300."
