Is the Nikon 24mm f/2.8D AF Nikkor Lens right for you? Learn all you need to know about the Nikon 24mm f/2.8D AF Lens in The-Digital-Picture.com's review!

The Nikon 24mm f2.8 lens is the older design so you need a body which has an auto focus motor in the body, but it is light weight, and sharp. I looked at reviews of the new 20mm f1.8 lens as a good travel lens for landscapes and building interiors and decided I did not need the extra 4mm and speed...

  Durable, Fast / accurate auto-focus, Lightweight, Rugged

There are better 24mm lenses out there, even on the Nikon system. Of course, those "better" lenses are also much more expensive and more importantly bigger and heavier.I'm mostly a travel photographer and tend to use primes whenever I can get away with it.

  Focus Ring Turns In Af, Only F28

I really like this lens. I use it on a D800. Really sharp all around when stopped down to about f5.6. Useable wide open. Build quality is excellent, way better than the 50mm 1.8G for example.

Purchased this Nikon 24mm 2.8 for a combination of coverage, optical quality, and lower price than Nikon's superb but more expensive 24mm 1.4 wide angle, for night time street and indoor event coverage.

For a wide angle, my options were the 20mm f/2.8, 28mm f/2.8, 35mm f/1.8 and 35mm f/2. I own the 50mm f/1.8 & 18-55mm af-s VR. My camera is DX format. My 50mm is too long of a focal length sometimes, and the 18-55mm is slow, sometimes horrible with color fringing or pictures would look muddy.

  Fixed focal length, lens flare (not too bad, but definitely more flare than my other lenses)
