I have been using the lens just for few days and I am very happy with the results. The visual range is very wide and I highly recommend it for DX sensor. I use it on a D7500.Sharpness is spectacular in open diaphragms and the fact of having f2.8 for the whole range makes this lens a very good...

I purchased this lens for the sole purpose of photographing the Milky Way. It did not disappoint me at all. the photographs i took with this were superb. The Infinity setting on the lens worked like a charm. I never had to adjust it after the initial setting in the 5 hours i was shooting.

I bought this lens for my crop sensor camera and wasnt expecting a whole lot. this lens is great. it's very sharp almost side to side!! and as a bonus, i can use this on my full frame 16mm-20mm. dont let the price fool you, this is a great lens. i highly recommend it.

Having no issues with focusing either in Auto or Manual on a D5500. Loving it for landscapes and astro. Only downsides are, it takes 82mm filters which may be another huge investment depending on you needs. Also, it is a serious piece of glass and has some weight to it.

I use this lense for full framed D800. This lense can fit from 17 to 20mm. It does an excellent job. When I took this lense with my on New Zealand vacation; I shot landscape and astronomy ,even wide open 2.8, just 15 second exposure I can get excellent pictures with nebulas.
