Verdict
The Nikkor delivers impressive resolution across the image frame straight from the maximum aperture. CA's are well controlled and image distortion is moderate. In addition, the bokeh quality of the lens is on a surprisingly high level for such a wide angle lens.
The Nikkor is not without flaws, though. Vignetting is very high at the largest aperture and even stopped down half a stop of corner darkening remains. In summary, however, the lens performs very well.
Build quality is on the same level as the other f/1.8 Nikkor lenses, high quality plastic that does not give the impression of handling a luxury item but does its job. This lens feels lightweight, but not fragile.
Thanks to an AF-S drive, the Nikkor is compatible with all current DSLRs (entry level DX included) and autofocus speed is silent and quite fast.
Given its good performance, the current retail price of around 750 EUR is acceptable. At this price point, however, it competes with Sigma's 24mm f/1.4 Art lens, which does not offer the same level of sharpness, but even more creative potential with its faster f/1.4 aperture. But it's also bigger and heavier. When choosing between these two, it comes down to personal priorities to decide which one to pick.
Mechanical Quality:
★★★★★
