Nikon Nikkor AF 24 mm f/2.8D
11. Summary
- very good image quality in the frame centre,
- well-corrected astigmatism,
- no reservations concerning the work of autofocus,
- compact and solid barrel.
Cons:
- weak image quality on the edge of the frame,
- visible chromatic aberration,
- high coma.
If you consult the test results of such lenses as the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 or the Tokina 19-35 mm, you will notice that both these devices, set at 24 mm, offer us more or less the same performance as the fixed focal Nikkor 2.8/24. Both zooms are cheaper to boot (the Tokina even significantly so) and definitely more all-purpose. Is the tested lens worth buying then? Perhaps not. If you want to own a 24 mm class “prime” you will invest your money better purchasing the noticeably cheaper Sigma 1.8/24.
