from epay Summary: Regarding the price it's the best wideangle prime lens one can get. Although it is a good idea to test before the buy because there are big differences between examples. The first one i've got has strong light fall off in the corners. The one i have now is ok. Low distortions and good sharpness even in the corners. I've tried a identical looking Vivitar which was bad regarding distortions and contrast. Strengths: Low distortions, good sharpness, good contrast.
Small, easy to carry.
Very strong construction. Weaknesses: It tends to flare easily (as do most of the lenses with big front elements). Filter size 67mm is not a standard with Nikon but there are step rings, so one can use 77 or 72mm.
