PRODUCT REVIEW: AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED Ultra-wide Angle Lens

The AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED is an ultra-wide angle lens with a constant f/2.8 maximum aperture that delivers edge-to-edge sharp images and excellent picture quality. It is the first time I've used an ultra-wide angle lens and I am really happy as it is fast and works great in low light level. It is best for shooting landscapes and interiors especially when doing hotel features. I'm glad I've tried it!

Before I got to try this ultra-wide angle lens, me and my photographer normally use an 18-105mm lens in taking photos of hotel rooms and facilities; however, it wasn't wide enough to capture the whole room. I am really glad that we got to try this NIKKOR 14-24mm lens as it is super sharp and wider than we expected. Here are the sample photos:

f/2.8, 14 mm, 1/20, 320, No flash

f/2.8, 14 mm, 1/15, 320, No flash

f/4.5, 14 mm, 1/80, 1600, No flash

f/6.3, 15 mm, 1/160, 1600, No flash

f/5, 14 mm, 1/30, 320, No flash

f/3.5, 14 mm, 1/50, 320, No flash

f/3.5, 14 mm, 1/50, 320, No flash

f/6.3, 18 mm, 15 sec, 100, No flash

With a price tag of 96,000 pesos, it is quite expensive but definitely worth the investment. If only I can afford a prime lens such as this, I wouldn't think twice and definitely buy this amazing lens!

Thank you Nikon Philippines for letting us try the AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED. We truly enjoyed shooting with it!
