Title: Exchanged for other Nikon Lens
Product review: I really didn't have anything wider than a 35mm 1.8 in my camera bag so I thought this would be a great addition when I needed to go wider. Unfortunately the 24 2.8 was not up to par with Nikon's newer AFS primes that I own (35 1.8, 50 1.8) in terms of sharpness or speed of autofocus. I had it less than two weeks then returned it. The only way I was ever pleased with the lens was when I was right on top of the subject (which accounts for about 5% of my shooting). Instead I purchased the Nikon 24-120 f/4 and have been very pleased. The 24-120 shot at 24mm is much sharper wide open than the 24 2.8 wide open so if you can live without the 2.8, look at other options like the 24-120. The beauty of owning the 24-120 is that I still have a fairly wide angle when needed, and a great all-around lens when just out shooting for the day.
