Nikon AF Nikkor 14mm Pro Reviews

slrgear‘s review Edit

Our copy of the Nikon 14mm f/2.8 lens was a sturdy, well-built, excellent focusing lens. Unfortunately, its optical performance (sharpness, chromatic aberration, shading, distortion) was a little marginal, especially for a lens selling in the vicinity of $1400. We haven't (yet) had the chance to compare it to competing 14mm prime lenses available for the Nikon mount, but most of its optical characteristics are surpassed by any of several zooms available on the market for considerably less money. If you really need an f/2.8 maximum aperture at 14mm, the Nikon 14mm f/2.8 prime may be a good choice. But if maximum aperture isn't all that important in your shooting, you can do a lot better with any of several ultrawide zoom lenses instead.
