What's your favourite Nikon Wide Angle Lens?

I recommend the 16-35 to a lot of people Jimmyboy.

If you forget about the VR, is it still a better buy than the Nikon 18-35G?

It is like picking a favorite child.

I have had an 18mm f3.5 AIS I bought new in 1985. Handled correctly, it can be wonderful. It is quite sharp in the center, the corners not so much. Better to stop down if you can. Stopping down also helps the vignetting.

A few examples:

Not normally my go-to lens for night work but this turned out well:

I do like the 10-24 on my D7200:

All that said, I am tempted by the new Sigma 12-24. . .

The 14-24 2.8. I never leave on a shot or a trip without it. For night time, I pull out my 24 1.4G

28mm F/2.0 Ai-S...best 28mm, and excellent wide open,outstanding against flair

14mm Samyang, 14-24 legend, 20mm AIS for starbursts (love the straight aperture blades), and beauty Zeiss glass 18 and 21mm. Can't afford the 15mm yet (probably never). For Leica M, the Voigtlander 15 and 12. The 18mm Zeiss is steller too. Yes, I do love me a good wide angle

jimmyboy that 16-35 could be next on the update list for Nikon as it is the same age as the 70-200 VR II I believe. Sounds like you don't need the refresh though!~

I sold my Nikon 24-120 F4 VR and Samyang 24mm f1.4 and got a Sigma 24-35 f2. Happy with it so far, sharp with few aberrations for my night shots.

How is the Coma ? ... ( i mean the lense .... )

HAH! Yeah, not bad. Take a look at the pano I posted two days in on the November PAD. All things considered, it's good.

The one I don't have yet: the 14-24. My DX 12-24 makes a nice vignette around my FF sensor on the new D810.

I am with jimmyboy, i really like my 16-35 f/4. It worked really well on some product shots I did, my client said they looked 3d. I got similar results on the 10-24mm when I was shooting DX.

My favorite....the 10.5mm f/2.8, modified for full frame....

Now, as to my second favorite..maybe the 24mm either f/1.4 or the PC f/3.5. Lots of fun can be had with tilt and shift.
