If you have something like a 24-120mm F4 then this lens is a good second lens for your camera. As a F3.5 to F4.5 this lens cops flack because it is not a continuous F4 but its only one third of a Stop up and down from F4 anyway; this is hardly a big deal. For Nikon photographers these older AF-S lenses are much cheaper than the new Z series lens but can be adapted to the new Z bodies with the FTZ II adapter. Given appropriate care this lens is robust and should last you for years and years. Great lens for all those extra wide angle shots. I use mine for cloud-scape photography.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sharp and Beautiful Wide Angle Zoom
Reviewed in the United States on 12 December 2014

I've been looking for a nice wide-angle lens for a couple of years now (especially after moving to full frame three years ago) and just couldn't decide on anything in particular. I was looking for something very sharp throughout the frame, wide enough for most landscapes or architecture in closed-up spaces and light enough to take anywhere. I didn't want to buy some cheap kit or third-party lens which might be good enough. I'm a self-proclaimed pixel peeper and I knew I wouldn't be happy with a lens that exhibited imperfections such as chromatic aberration, softness in the corners or possible focusing issues. I wanted something that also produced good color and clarity.

Up until this point I had tried the Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 and liked it, but the lens was very heavy and I just could't see myself carrying it around in my bag just in case, or take it on long walking trips for casual shooting. The 14-24mm f/2.8 is the kind of lens you take out only if you REALLY intend to shoot some serious landscapes, or during important low light events that require ultra wide angle. The weight is a bit prohibitive and the size is ridiculous for casual outings.

I then picked up a 28mm f/1.8G which is an excellent lens, super sharp, light, great for landscapes on a full frame body, but isn't wide enough for shooting large buildings around the city, especially when you're too close to them. I really wanted something wider for when I needed it. So, I began looking around at other options.

I was deliberating between the Nikon 18-35mm f/3.5-45G and the Nikon 16-35mm f/4G VR. The price on both was fairly close, but more people seemed to buy the 16-35mm f/4G VR. At that point I asked myself a couple of questions.

1.) Do I need VR on this lens? - For me the answer is No. I would use it for landscapes in good light, and for long exposures the camera and lens would be mounted to a tripod. I guess some would argue I could do semi-long exposures hand-held with VR, but honestly,... how often would I ever do that? Almost never. In low light and at high ISO, full frame cameras are excellent these days and a wide angle can be easily hand-held at very slow shutter speeds even without VR.

2.) Do I need constant aperture of f/4? - For me the answer is No. Why would I? The 18-35mm is slightly faster at its widest with an aperture of f/3.5 so that's a bonus. At it's longest it becomes an f/4.5. No big deal there and not a big difference from the 16-35mm f/4. Most landscapes are shot anywhere from f/5.6 and smaller, so whether or not the lens is constant aperture, there doesn't seem to be any advantage.

3.) Do I need the extra two millimeter difference between 16mm and 18mm? - For me the answer is No. For some people this may be important and every millimeter counts, but for me the difference is not big enough to justify paying more.

4.) Which lens is sharper from corner to corner? - I did a lot of research before I made up my mind and in the end the 18-35mm seemed just a smidgen sharper than the 16-35mm f/4 G VR. That is what really mattered to me the most. The performance of the 18-35mm is just beautiful.

After deliberating for weeks going back and forth, I settled on the Nikon 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G. It is a superb lens. Not only is it sharp, it also produces great colors and contrast, exhibits easy-to-fix wide angle distortion, easily accepts filters, is light enough to carry around just about anywhere (though not too light in that cheap sort of way), is well-built, focuses fairly quickly, and compared to other Nikon wide-angle zooms it is quite affordable! This lens is a gem.

The only minor negative I can think of (if I must) is the zoom ring, which when first used, can be a little bit tough to turn. This gets better with frequent use.

Would I recommend this lens? Absolutely. I shoot it with a Nikon D610 and a Nikon D750 and these work great together.

DX/CROP SENSOR SHOOTERS...

This lens is great on any Nikon, but if you're shooting with a crop sensor and looking for ultra wide angle, you may need something wider than 18mm. This is a wide lens on a full frame body, but on a crop sensor it may not be wide enough for you. It would make it about a 28mm equivalent (1.5 crop factor multiplied my 18mm) at the wide end. You'll want to look into wide angle lenses specifically designed for DX models, BUT.... if you plan to upgrade to full frame sometime soon, this 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G would be a great choice.

ONE MORE THING THOUGH....

If I were looking for a landscape lens today and I didn't need the flexibility of a zoom, I would also look into the newly released Nikon 20mm f/1.8G. It is two millimeters narrower, but it offers a much wider aperture at f/1.8 (for low light situations) and may be sharper from corner to corner (although honestly this 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G is really, really good). If the 20mm f/1.8G is as sharp as the 28mm f/1.8G, it should be phenomenal.

Léger, piqué, pratique, pas trop cher.
Excellents résultats sur le D700 (photos d'architecture).
Cet excellent objectif est pris en charge par LR et DxO.
Un petit temps d'adaptation est nécessaire pour s'habituer à la bague de zooming très proche de la monture.

Se trata de un objetivo gran angular con una relación calidad-precio muy buena, su nitidez sorprende desde el primer disparo.

Estuve planteandome el Nikkor 14-24G f/2.8, sin embargo el precio se me iba mucho y finalmente me decidí por este, más pequeño, más ligero y se pueden utilizar filtros normales (Sin necesidad de utilizar los portafiltros Lucroit).

Totalmente recomiendable su compra.

Initially i do not knew if i will buy this lens or 16-35, and i opted by this due to its lower price and size. I am very happy with its performance, sharpnes and light weight. Very good to use with circular filters because do not causes vigneting in the corners. The only issue is the distortion but the distortion correction in post processing can help here.
So i am very happy with this lens, and i recomend for those who cant buy 16-35 and want a lightweight lens.

Dieses klasse Objektiv hat sich in kürzester Zeit von einem Verlegenheitskauf zu meinem Lieblingsobjektiv gemausert.

Ich fotografiere bevorzugt Menschen in ihrer natürlich Umgebung, Street und urbane Räume. Vor etwa einem Jahr bin ich von der Nikon D80 auf die D600 umgestiegen. So toll diese Kamera auch ist, mein altes Sigma 24-70, das mir an der D80 gute Dienste geleistet hat, wollte mit der D600 einfach nicht so recht funktionieren. Die Bilder waren fast durchgängig matschig und ein korrekt funktionierender Autofokus war wie ein Sechser im Lotto. Da ich sonst nur lichtstarke Festbrennweiten benutze (50, 85 und 90 mm), plante ich, mein Sortiment mit einem 24er und einem 35er zu erweitern. Nach einem Blick auf Amazon war mir aber schnell klar, dass ich mir diese beiden weder leisten konnte noch wollte.

Relativ lustlos bestellte ich dann als Notlösung das 18-35er und bin wirklich sehr überrascht.

Die Schärfe ist klasse, schon bei offener Blende (soweit das halt bei 1:3,5-4,5 geht) bekomme ich super scharfe Fotos bis in die Randbereiche. Die Detailwiedergabe ist gut und der Autofokus sitzt auf dem Punkt. Da ich ja das langsame Kurbeln des Sigma gewohnt war, musste ich bei meinen ersten Versuchen (Stadt, draußen, bewölkter Himmel) mehrmals nachsehen, ob der AF auch wirklich funktioniert. Tat er auch, und zwar sehr schnell und leise und mit hervorragenden Ergebnissen.

Auch die nicht ganz so tolle Offenblende stört mich in der Praxis überhaupt nicht. Mehrmals war ich schon auf kleinen Konzerten in dunklen Clubs mit schwierigen Belichtungssituationen konfrontiert, das Objektiv schafft in Verbindung mit dem klasse Sensor der D600 aber perfekte Konzertfotos (35mm, 1:4,5, 1/100s, ISO 1600).

In Wohnräumen qualitativ hochwertige Fotos von spielenden Kindern zu machen, ist mit dem Objektiv ebenfalls ein Genuss. Hier ist der Zoombereich von 18-35mm genau richtig und das Handling auch deutlich komfortabler, als es die zwei ursprünglich geplanten Festbrennweiten gewesen wären.

Die Haptik ist auch nicht zu verachten, gewohnte Nikon-Qualität. Was mir früher nie wichtig war, es aber zunehmend wird, ist das Gewicht. Das Ding ist schön leicht und lässt sich auch längere Zeit gut rumtragen.

Alles in allem kommt das Objektiv natürlich nicht an die beiden oben genannten Festbrennweiten ran. Durch die trotzdem sehr gute Qualität bei geringem Preis und Gewicht ist es aber meiner Meinung nach das ideale Objektiv für die "gehobene Alltagsfotografie".

Nachtrag: Leider hat das aktuelle Lightroom kein Objektivprofil zur automatischen Profilkorrektur für die Scherbe. Ich hoffe auf das nächste Update, möchte diesen Mangel aber nicht dem Objektiv anlasten.
