I also got my long time of the reports on the Internet concerning the performance of the AF Nikkor 24mm 2.8D scare to digital cameras. As it turned out, that was a big mistake. The image quality and sharpness of the lens itself on the high-resolution Nikon D7000 is already at full aperture lonely peak. It's just fun to photograph it. However, experience both in a brand new and perfect copy. Most this lens, however, get used - so my impression. Since a good piece in the current D version is actually already since 1994 on the market, you can never be sure what you are getting for a abgenudeltes copy. Surely one of the reasons why differing views about the 24er so far.
Another thing to point of view. The 24mm focal length tells me to DX significantly longer than 35mm. The 24mm focal length here behaves like a 36mm on small screen, is the ideal reportage and Street focal length and has in my eyes "normal" and closer to the human point of view as a 35mm, which has to DX with 52,5mm already a bit too much tele , When it comes to the Bokeh 24er suggests quite well in spite of its wide angle characteristics. One pays attention when composing a bit on the background the bokeh is really more than okay.
Would you provide me the needed 1,500 euros for the State of the Art Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm 2.8G, I would invest in a 24mm 2.8D AF, an AF 50mm 1.4D and a 85mm 1.8D and of the remaining 250 make Euro holiday or organize a garden party for my friends. Bottom Up.
