Very lightweigth, solid lens. No visible distorsons in normal use (perhaps some, if you are in habit to shoot a wall of bricks; actually don't know anyone who really does), good colours and bokeh, nothing bad against it.. Also works with cropped digital sensor, as a semi wide angle lens. Very good material perkele

Strength:

Light-weight. 55 mm diameter. Quick autofocus. Sharp!

Weakness:

Visible Distorsion. Slightly light falloff tt f2.8

A fine lens. I think it's sharp enough! Visible distorsion at some times so be careful when photagraphing building. Very quick autofocus. Colors seems to be true.

Strength:

Optical quality, great from f/4 to f/11. Very fast autofocus. Small & Light. Perfect hood.

Weakness:

Some lower contrast on f/2.8.

A very good 24mm, among the best. Very good contrast from f/4, very little distortion (Nikon is a little better here), very good sharpness. Fast AF due to IF. Perfect lenshood.

AF 24-50/4. Don't believe the stories that the 24mm of this zoom are as good as this lens!

Model Reviewed: AF 24mm f/2.8 Maxxum

Strength:

Good sharpness wide open, excellent at F8. Color is warmer than Nikkor. This lens shows minimal distortion and flare at all apertures. Truly one of the best of 24mm/2.8

Weakness:

Feels more plasticky than Nikkor.

Highly recommended. One of the sharpest lenses in the Maxxum line-up.

Strength:

Color is warm

Weakness:

Not Sharp enough, Resolution is not as Canon's or Nikon's

I bought it nine years ago. Bascially, I think it is not as sharp as Canon or Nikon's 24mm f/2.8, also the resolution is worse than Canon's or Nikon's.
