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." |

"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." |
14-24mm f2.8G AFS review by the Mansurovs
"There is a reason why so many people fall in love with this lens – as you saw from the tests, it is the finest ultra-wide angle zoom lens available today with razor-sharp performance and contrast." |
Look Ma... No Hands: Nikon’s 14-24mm at Full Stretch by Michael Freeman at Pixiq
"The Nikon 14-24mm ƒ2.8. A wonderful piece of glass, a triumph of optics and engineering. But I’d wondered ever since I bought it more than two years ago why on earth it went down as far as 14mm." |
Which is the best 24mm from Nikon – Nikon 24mm f/1.4, Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 and Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 by Kent Yu
"Honestly, I couldn’t tell much difference between the three lenses even at 100% crop. However, the test results did show the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 has the best CA control as show below." |
14-24mm f2.8G AFS review by Thom Hogan
"Since getting the 14-24mm, I've shuffled my 17-35mm off to the farm to enjoy its retirement in peace. The extra angle of view and better resolution, coupled with some other strong performance aspects don't have me missing filters. The only filters I'd ever want to use on this lens anyway would be NDs." |
14-24mm f2.8G AFS review by Todd Owyoung
"The Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 is unwieldy, ugly, and expensive. And you’ll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers." |

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." |
16-35mm f4G AFS VR review at Shutterbug
"With VR, a constant aperture, a well-designed lens hood, and of course that dazzling 16mm super-wide range, this is one lens that will appeal to travel, landscape, and street photographers. I enjoyed every day I worked with it in the field." |
16-35mm f4G AFS VR review by the Mansurovs
"Can I call this lens a breakthrough? Absolutely! Not only does it beat the legendary Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8D in performance, it also rips my favorite Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G apart, especially in the corners." |
16-35mm f4G AFS VR review by NikonGlass blog
"Even though slightly overpriced for what it really is, the AFS 16-35mm f/4 is an excellent lens for all those landscapers out there. Overall the 16-35mm lens can produce high resolution images throughout the aperture and focal length range but more precisely, best performance is between f/5.6 and f/16 and from 18mm to 30mm." |
16-35mm f4G AFS VR review by Michael Weber
"On the other hand, as a landscape photographer I usually stop down to around f/8, and then I am simply blown away by the sharpness, contrast and vivid colours. This is one of the few lenses I own that are a perfect match for the sensor of my D3X." |
16-35mm f4G AFS VR review at WhatDigitalCamera
"Overall this is a fantastic lens that deserves to be taken very seriously. Admittedly this is probably the test sample’s first review and it is currently in pristine condition so the results are likely to be the best possible figures, but that fact cannot detract from a truly stunning performance." |
16-35mm f4G AFS VR review at PhotographyTalk
"In total, image quality could be described as spectacular. The center of the frame is extremely sharp at virtually all settings. At 16mm or full frame, the farthest parts of the corners will exhibit some softness, but the sharpness returns at the typical apertures." |

18-35mm f3.5-4.5 AF-D review at Photozone (with D3X)
"The lens delivers very good to excellent sharpness in the image center, but that's about all the good news we can report. The borders and corners are very poor and the lens needs to be stopped down considerably to achieve acceptable sharpness down to the image corners. Distortion is very high and unfortunately not uniform at the widest setting, but smoothens and decreases when zooming in."
- 18-35mm f3.5-4.5D ED review at Photozone (D200)
"The Nikkor AF 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5D ED is capable to produce very good to excellent images when shooting at and beyond f/5.6. At max. aperture the border performance is far less impressive due to the lack of contrast and resolution (specifically at 35mm). The level of distortions is very high at 18mm so it's not a lens that you'd use for serious architecture photography"
