Cons: * Heavy vignetting on 2.8 makes it really, really dark * On the dark side for an astro lens * Not overly sharp - don\'t expect to break any resolution records * Skies can look cyan on a bright day * Expensive!!!
Pros: * Weather sealed * 18mm on Full-frame is wide! * Maybe the best wide angle lens for Nikon F mount * Low CA, low distortion and edge performance makes it great for shooting landscapes, once stopped down * Can mount 77mm filters * No color noticeable shifts in corners allows you to take great landscapes with water/rocks/snow in the frame, but there\'s still vignetting that needs to be dealt with.
Summary: It\'s a tough call whether this is default choice for landscape photographers. The price point is hard to stomach, although the lens overall performance is quite nice - there are no visible problems and the image looks quite clean, although a bit dark when shooting wide open. Things start to brighten up past f/5.6 and corners become very good as well, maybe even better at f/8. Without being overly sharp, it certainly gives you nice, even performance for landscape. For Nikon F mount, it\'s probably the best lens optically, at 18mm, with very few options that can compete with it. For Canon EF, or mirrorless cameras, things are a bit more complicated at this price range. Hope that LensTip can make an official review of the lens.
