優點:
Nice expression of colour.
Well-suppressed distortion and aberration.
Subtle vignetting.
Usable aperture at f/2.8.
Filter can be easily mounted at the front in contrast of 14mm f/2.8.
Tank-like build quality.
Reasonable AF speed even without SWM.
缺點:
Ghost and flare controls could be enhanced.
Hard to find one nowadays even in the second hand market.
Very dear price (triple the sum you pay for 20mm f/2.8).
Discontinued (just like the other large aperture Nikkor prime lens) .
評價:
It works well on my D700 and I love it, even it's the design from more than 10 years ago. It's handy and maneuverable with its large aperture and wide-angle. Looking at Nikon's marketing strategy, the high-priced large aperture prime lens are going to be discontinued one after one (just check out the already gone 28mm f/1.4 and 14mm f/2.8) and replaced by the zoom one only. I really miss the old 35mm days.....
