And that's a 2.8! I'd buy it if it was close in price to the Tokina - a 10-20% premium for Nikon over Tokina is fair. But RRP in the UK is £800 versus the Tokina around £500. No contest.

The 12-24 was WEAK at the corners on the 12mm end and started to look dated compared to its competition (Tokina 11-16, Sigma 10-20, Tamron 10-24). I am sick and tired of these whiners who complain about the 10-24 not being "Pro" because it's variable aperture. LOOK AT THE MTF CHARTS!!! Beats up on the 12-24 esp. at the wide end. This lens is a BARGAIN for the optical performance it will have. My 12-24 will be put on SALE when this comes out. Congrats, Nikon!

Now yet another use for it! I hope it fits more securely than on the 12-24. It is ok on the 18-35, and when I had a 17-35, I don't recall it being loose, but the 12-24 fit is lousy.

The lens isn't even official yet. Please reveal your sources - NR would love to know who has this lens and what tests they have run. Hell, everyone here would.

If this is designed to be an amateur lens (made in china ?) then the glass quality is likely similar to the recent 35mm DX. Very sharp but prominent CA with reasonable flare control. Should be a winner. It might even kill off the 12-24. I expect the lens will cam out at both ends of it’s range and the number spacing is to do with the cam system.
