Thoughts on Nikkor 24mm F1.8G ED lens?

7 years 5 months ago #499616 by Dan Spade
Hey guys, I was looking at getting a new 24mm and just noticed that Nikon has this f/1.8 for only $746.  This is much less than the 24mm f/1.4.  

Any thoughts on this lens?

I considered it and instead bought a 20 f/1.8, and I'm very happy I did....About the same price.

Edit: That's nearly fifteen hundred less for a half stop...a no brainer for me.

Why so serious?

The nikon 24 1.4g is an absurd lens if you can stomach the price. The 1.8G's have been stellar lately, rent it to try it out.

:rofl:
Yeah no doubt. When it come to spending the money for half a stop it is more of a bragging rights thing in my mind. Now if it was a full stop that might be entirely different.

I really like this new lens, a lot of things I wanted it for are gone until April or so....:(
