Actually, I wanted this lens do not buy, because as a landscape photographer I am rather in the lower range of focal lengths go. Being from the 14-24 f2.8 and f2.8 but did complete the 24-70 up my number, I have yet ordered me what I've regretted not. The price of the lens is very high, but the picture quality coupled with the highly professional processing and haptics is the equivalent. I'm just delighted with the image quality of this lens. Even offenblendig at f2.8 it conjures up on the D800 finest details at a phenomenal sharpness that I have never seen before. I can only advise every owner of a D800 to accommodate this lens in its lens Park. The combination is simply fantastic!
