Extremely fun wide angle for DX
Strengths: Widest angle you can get (at this time) for DX, sharp, high contrast image rendering
Weakness: Other than minor complaint about distortion at 10 to 15mm, I do not have any. But such is the case with all ultra wide lenses, it's just that this one has bit more distortion than most lenses.
I was torn between the Nikon 12-24 and this lens for my DX ultra wide DX needs. I chose this lens due greater angle or frame coverage and I am glad I did. That extra 10 degrees of coverage is actually a lot! I also was convinced that this lens is sharper than its 12-24 brother.
The lens ranks as a typical modern Nikon lens with good sharpness and good color saturation. For me, one small drawback of this lens is the perspective distortion when shooting under 15mm as you get closer to the edges (see included photos and keep in mind that each wheel or gauge is supposed to be perfectly circular). In my past experience I used Sigma 15-30 on film (identical frame coverage) and the distortion in my opinion was controlled better than with this lens. Keep in mind that generally this is not an issue when you are doing landscape photography but it might be a worry for those who use it for architecture and other scenarios (such as photographing inside of a submarine!) or for those who always have to find something to complain about! By any means, don't let that deter you from getting the lens - just accept the limitation of this lens and have fun with how dramatic your pictures will start to look!
Overall I love this lens to a point where I gave up my plans of going to FX for a while - coupled with a fisheye I am in wide angle nirvana.
