Nearly as good as 12-24 Nikon f/4 AFS
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.
Fast AF, MF-AF switching on the lens MF ring is nice, MF is smooth, optically nearly the same as Nikon 12-24 (I have made various tests comparing it with my friends Nikon), corners soft at 12mm f/4, starts to be very good from f/5.6. Optical quality at closest focussing ranges are excellent when stopped down, body is sturdy, lens feels excellent in your hands, outer coatings are superb, lens is relatively small for its range and feels very well balanced with Nikon D200. Distortion is somehow noticable at 12mm (barrel) but the distortion of Nikon 12-24mm is no different than this one. For the price this lens is excellent.
