... rented the lens for a trip and fell in love with it

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2018

I rented the lens for a trip and fell in love with it. I instantly purchased one and have not regretted it at all. Not very heavy, good size and is very sharp. I have been doing photography for about 3 years now and I really wanted a wide prime lens. After using it in Florida on vacation, I don't think I could ever be without it. This is my go to landscape lens now. The sun stars that this lens produces are beautiful as well.

I think that for the money, this is a fantastic purchase if you don't need "ultra wide". I also has the benefit of almost being a macro lens because of the close focus distance. Of course this isn't the best for portraits, but it does pretty well if you don't mind the typical wide distortion. Makes taking group photos a breeze as well!

This is easily one of my favorite lenses in my bag. If you want a no nonsense wide lens, this is the one. I can't recommend it enough!

This lens has great resolution, very sharp

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2016

This lens has great resolution, very sharp, but I found the images to be extremely flat. The rendering just lacks character. If all you want is sharpness in a lens, than this may work for you!

Focuses Fast and it's Really Sharp

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

Bought this for shooting indoors (f/1.8) and I was shocked how fast the lens focus works (accurately almost all of the time) on both my Nikon Z50 (with adapter) and my Nikon D7500. For this price, I would expect good glass and no issues. Shooting inside the house, and inside a gym with LED lighting (5600k), at a basketball game, it worked great. (Like all fast primes I had to recover some details from noise due to higher ISO on my cropped (maybe 40-50% or more) pictures. Even after noise reduction and crop they were as sharp as I could have wished for--very happy with it at this point. . .

This looked like new out of the box and it was a used item in good condition. Very happy that I took a chance on it because it was a couple hundred dollars cheaper than brand new, and I was finally able to afford the lens that I’ve been looking at for years

I really am enjoying this lens. It has incredible glass and makes for a good addition to my prime lenses. It works well for portrait work when you want the background in the photo. I also like the sunset photos that I have taken with it. The best thing about this lens is it's versatility.

Dusty and dirty

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

Ordered two lenses from Amazon. Both arrived with substantial dust on the interior and exterior of the lens. I returned both. I have ordered many Nikon lenses over the years, and have returned all of them. They are either dusty and dirty as delivered, or are decentered. No Quality Control that I can see

Great optics, but poor AF alignment quality control

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

Disappointed that it arrived factory fresh with unacceptable forward focusing error. At 3' to target the auto focus was off by about 3", which at f1.8 depth of field is way out of focus.
Lens is stellar using manual focus or direct contrast focusing in Live View, but the AF failure showed up consistently on two different camera bodies so error is definitely in the lens. Shipped to Nikon at my cost for warranty repair - which is irritating.
It's sad that a $750 lens would pass Nikon's QC in such bad alignment. Wish they were still made in Japan instead of China, or even made at their Malaysia plant where quality seems to be under better control.

No surprises here, I like it more than the 28mm1.8G it replaced

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2016

Verified Purchase

I always prefer primes over zooms. Especially with today's fast zoom pricing getting out of control. With today's higher resolution cameras I find myself more comfortable shooting wider than I used to. This gives me the flexibility to crop to any aspect ratio for printing. I haven't had it long, but after a few days of use I already prefer it over the 28mm.

I was skeptical about upgrading for 4mm, but I also recall how great the 24mm/2.8D I had before the 28mm/1.8G (which this lens replaced.) I mostly use a D750, but the 24mm is perfect on DX bodies (such as my backup is a D7100.) I gave up relying on pixel peeping tests and technical reviews a long time ago. However I don't ignore them either, and the technical reviews have been very positive so far.

I will update my review after I've had it for a while, and wanted to get my initial impression out since there are so few reviews out.

Excellent Prime Lens for FX and DX Nikon

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

I’m using this FX lens on my Nikon D5300 and it’s my favorite indoor and lowlight lens. I’ve read articles the reference and compare mobile cameras with DSLR in terms of quality. Once you learn about shutter, apature, ISO and the various auto/manual override methods with the Nikon, even with DX models ... this lens is perfect and a superior addition to your Nikon zoom lenses included in your box set. Additionally the This FX lens is 100% compatible with both FX and DX cameras.
