An Absolute Keeper I bought this lens last november 16,2011 and i took my first picture on thanksgiving of this year the result is amazing. November 24, 2011

Excellent Wide Angle. Superb. Must Have!! I just got this lens today and I just love it. I started shooting around the house taking wide angle pics of corridors and doors. Such a pleasure to shoot with this lens. This lens is an absolute must have wide angle for a photographer to have in its arsenal. I think this lens is going to stay on my D5000 for a while until I get bored with it. :) Love the lens. November 7, 2011

Just Get One!! Just got the lens the other day. I had about 2-3 hrs. shooting things around the house to get a feel for it with different lighting etc., and had to shoot a retirement party that night. I mainly shoot College sports with a D700 & the 70-200 2.8. I usually carry the 50mm 1.4G also. As a back up, and "wide" zoom I have been using a D200 and the 18-200mm VR. I have been wanting an FX wide zoom for quite some time now and was torn between the offerings! I finally decided on the 16-35mm 4.0 VR. Cost and being able to use filters entered into the equation. This thing loves the D700! The higher ISO's and VR definately make up for the f4 of this lens. Plenty of capability! True, the barrel distortion is there at 16 to 19, but either composition or Photoshop can eliminate it! My images came out sharp, and the AF worked flawlessly for me. The color rendition was great! This will probably become my new "walking around" lens! It just feels "right" on the D700! I wish now I hadn't waited so long to pull the trigger on this one, but I'm really glad it's in my bag now!!

Sharp as a razorblade Very sharp lens and VR feature make it perfect for low light situation. A good alternative to the venerable 14-24 lens. October 22, 2011

Fantastic Lens Fantastic lens with great build quality. Relatively light for the size. Great aperture as I feel there is no need to own a f2.8 wide angle lens as I rarely shoot at this focal length in low light conditions requiring a faster lens. Only complaint is the length as it would be nice if it were a bit more compact allowing it to fit easier in the bag. June 11, 2011
