I was discussing with Rich Whetton and he mentioned he needed a wider wideangle.
I immediately thought of the Nikon 14-24 f2.8 but then the 16-35mm f4 sprung to mind but initially I though no that is a DX lens but in fact it is an FX lens.

I know I dont like Ken Rockwell's style of reporting but......

Seems like a great lens and it takes a 77mm filter. The Nikon 14-24 cannot use a filter as its front element is so curved.
Seems to me the 16-35mm has everything going for it.

JK,
you are right about the 16-35 being full-frame.
Have you seen Ken's remards on distortion at the wide end? (Spectacular!, I have fisheye lenses with less distortion :-O)
I would rather consider the older 17-35 2.8 af-s lens.
Note the 17-35 can be made compatible with almost any Nikon SLR camera, by adding a meter-coupling-prong.
Regards, Gilbert
