Most informative, most enjoyable! This is what a word "review" means. Thank You!
I think this is THE best review I've watched so far... about ANY lenses. Thanks for sharing this! Hope you keep up.
Many thanks! :-)
gustavo campos I second this.., what a great academic-level informative review!
Thanks JKLenses.
+JKLenses can you please do a review of the 16-35mm as comprehensive as this video? Your review is of higher quality than anything else I've seen on CZcams. Thank you
I have to agree. This is the best lens review I've ever seen.
Best review of this lens that I have found so far. Thank you.
Excellent review, as you’ve repeatedly delivered. My two cents or pence: having started photography in the 1970s, it’s amazing to me that this zoom range exists much less at this image quality. Kudos to the engineers. I just don’t care for the sub 24mm field of view. It feels almost like trick photography.
I've probably watched over a thousand reviews on absolutely everything ive wanted to buy, this review has probably been the best so far. Very informative, in depth and great review. thanks for sharing and taking the time to make this video
One of the most efficient , neutral and EXREMELY USEFUL REVIEW. Thank You for this one JKLenses.
Just ordered the Nikon 12mm-24mm F 2.8 Lens from NYC & for my Nikon D850. Can't wait to try it out. Thxs for all your information and making me to order the Lens. Lots of gratitude. from Tucson Arizona USA
12-24 + D850 - Awesome combination. Enjoy! :-)
Excellent review on the Nikon 24-70mm f2.8. You really broke down the pros and cons of this lens. Honorable mention in your conclusion on the 18-70mm f3.5-4.5 zoom. I just recently purchased this zoom for my Nikon D3500 in excellent used condition and it can hold its own against the 24-70mm f2.8 at a substantially lower price.
If you are considering the purchase of this lens, this is the definitive resource for selling you on it. Excellent content and well-delivered. Thanks! I'm sold!
Packed with super useful info. Great overview. Useful examples. Pls keep uploading!
Firstly, Who were the 9 people who didn't like this? why? WOW what a great review, that you for your time and effort! an absolute gem of a superb video, and then some. As a landscape photographer and owner of the Nikon 16-35 f/4 - coupled to the D750, I originally didn't choose this lens due to the filter issues (more expensive kit needed to mount my grads etc) , but I've gotten into night sky photography and thought, you know what, this is the lens I need for that genre, subsequently I'll probably invest in the LEE filters kit for this lens and maybe i time sell the 16-35. This review is just phenomenal, missed nothing.
Thorough test and explanation of the different use models. Well done and keep continuing this!
One remark, for limited budgets it would be nice to have other brands at least mentioned, which could work as alternative. I have see many videos comparing lenses, but budget can not always be the decision criteria - I hope :-). Sharing professional experiences with different lenses used (and qualities/prices) may help to avoid spending too much money.
Very nice to see such a intelligently produced video review! Keep it up!
Superb Articulation. Thanks. You made my day.
Outstanding review, same as the 24-70 and 70 - 200mm. i've been watching many lens reviews in youtube and following many of the colourful profiles around here and i have to say, your reviews really did the job for me. I most certainly owe you a pint!
Don't you just love Nikon and their lenses, we purchased this 14 - 24mm and could not put it down, along with the D3 and D4s this combination is so well balanced in the hand. Loving your reviews, no overdramatic nonsense, it is just about the kit. Would be of interest to know how you personally clean the lens, Thanks.
By far the best review on this lens and you can believe I have watched them all as I wanted to be sure before purchasing - which I have just done. Also watched the other trinity reviews and they are equally as good.
Another great review, me and my Yorkshire wife came over from N. Ireland to watch the Tour in Ilkley, I couldn't get a photo as the crowds were too deep, but I gave one of the security guys my GoPro and got some good video, thank's again.
Excellent review of this lens...WELL DONE. I just bought a used model and can't wait for it to arrive. The only downside as mentioned by you and other reviewers is the inability to use filters, especially graduated ND ones for landscapes. As you stated, there are aftermarket adapters but there is the adapter, $$, then just one filter is over $200 USD.

Been watching your reviews and find them outstanding. Thank you.
Hello ! I do agree your comments about that marvelous lens. I use it regularely for landscapes and architecture. I find it very efficient when you have few "retreat". Before I used to shoot with a tilt & shift PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED, very efficient to correct distorsion of perspective. But its use was much more complicated (tripod, manual set of focus). . With 14+24, its much more simple, and I correct distorsion with Lr or Ps.
One defect you do not mention is flare. It becomes important and quickly alterations of image become so important you cannot correct them. When I use this lens, I take care to have the source of light really in my back and I put one hand or a small shield to stop rays of light. But it is a common defect on all wide angles lenses.
Thank you for the quality of your rewiews.
Thanks! :-)
Sir, your reviews are the most professional ones out there, excellent work !
Sir, thank you very much for such a detailed and well edited video. Your time and effort is greatly appreciated. Good day.
Brilliant, professional, killer review mate, hats off and well done! Subsribed and moving on to the 24-70 video :)
Thanks! :-)
This is an excellent review covering all necessary information and practical approach to real outcomes
Nice review. I own the Nikon 14-24mm f2.8 and I am extremely happy with it. Recently purchased the Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 AF-S ( the recently superseded version), and a Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 AF-S ( 2008 model)
Thank you very much for going into all the gory details and not cutting corners, a enjoyable watch and helped me a lot for finalizing the lens.
Thanks! :-)
I have this lens and hardly use it, this review has given me a new perspective...Ive often needed a wide angle lens, I'll now put this in my bag.
Nice review. I have owned my Nikon 14-24 f2.8 since 2010. Extremely happy with it . I have the Lucroit filter system for my lens.
Interesting review. You said on a number of occasions that the converging verticals in the examples were being caused by large buildings, far away. But I would say that most of the effect in those pictures was from the camera not being horizontal. On a lens like this, a very capable rectilinear lens, when the lens is horizontal then verticals will not converge. It is tilting the camera back at an angle to the subject that causes the converging effect.
Superb review, I have had this lens for a couple of years, I often have to shoot images close up at car shows where you can not get far back from the vehicle, shooting for Classic Cars Magazine. It rarely comes off my D810, along with the LEE 150 system it does so much
Thank you so much for the review that was excellent information
Incredible review... it is a fair review and does gives you ideas on how to best use it. Nothing on the internet can touch the quality of this review. What a pleasure to view it! Well Done!
Thanks! :-)
Watched in in depth review comparing the Tamron 15-30mm and Nikkor 14-24mm. Tamron held up pretty well considering its half the price.
I'm still undecided which one to get lol. The 14-24 is one hell of lens for over 8 years with superb reviews, vs the Tamron 15-30 that just came out.
This has been one of the best review of lenses on nikon14-24mm, I have one, its very very good i have tested it and its exactly as you have said, man i wish i saw this before buying it. you've said it all, good job. keep it up. but the picture on 70-200mm ???????
Thanks! :-)
Thanks for the review, great review, details, thorough, informative and clear.
Just starting out this was very helpful. Especially the different options for alternatives at different prices. Can't wait to have this with my GH4. Thanks again
Thanks! :-)
JKLenses This has been one of the best Video of lenses that I ever saw. Thank you for so many Info, Tips and options too. This Video crear a lot my decision. Here from the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean I thank You a hope see soon the others Videos of the 24-70 and 70-200, both I have it, but the UWA I am maybe to buy the 16-35mm f/4 for my D810. For my D7100 I have the Tokina 11-16mm 2.8, but I been hearing that this is better for DX cams and not so for the FX.
Very many thanks for your comments :-). On DX format Nikons I have used the excellent Nikon 12-24 which does a very good job although I know several people who get great results from the Tokina 11-16 so I think you'd be OK with either one. Both these lenses are for DX format cameras only as they don't cover the full FX sensor area.
24-70 f2.8 review is almost done and should be out in the next few days...
lucky man .. im in Heywood Lancs UK . nothing to brag about at all even with fast lenses we struggle to get shutter speeds in access of 500th its wet wet wet 👍
Excellent review, you covered the subject completely , what more can I say.
Excellent photography.
Excellent review. It happens that I recently rented a Tamron 15-30 G2. I can't compare it to this Nikon lens, but I was blown away by the Tamron.
Thanks - I've heard great things about the Tamron too.. :-)
Excellent quality review of a legendary lens. You almost made me want to buy a second one! :). Well done
Thanks! :-)
Credit where credit's due... Very thorough and comprehensive test, and well delivered... One of the best reviews I have seen. Add a bit more humour/ light heartedness to it, and you'll really have a winner ;)
Epoque99
Thanks for your comments - much appreciated! :-)
I recently bought a Nikon d610 with a sigma 12-24mm and was extremely disappointed with the sigmas performance . Edge blur was a real issue and af was very poor . I sent it back and got this one . performance difference is night and day . the Nikon 12-24 is simply the best lens I have ever bought . sharpness is fantastic and I am simply blown away with the performance . worth every penny .
Fantastic series. Very methodical review. More more more!!!!
Best review ever ! Wonderful job...thank you !
The best review i ever watched thanks
Best review of any photographic equipment.
really enjoy your detailed and insightful reviews. hope you are still planning to review the 24-70 and 70-200
Many thanks! Hope to finish 24-70 review in the next week or so...
Great review! Specially when am finding it hard to use it everyday but can’t part away with it. Inspired to use it more often!🙌🏻
:-)
Amazing review..!! Fully objective and well spoken. 14-24mm is great lens and might be one of its kind. your pictures from rail museum proves a big point. At his point I regret selling my Sigma 8-16mm which I used on D7100.
Thanks - Sigma 8-16 gives great optical quality on DX but nothing matches the 14-24 on build quality!
It's the best Review i ever seen. Thanks very much !
Thank You! :-)
thank very much , this one of the best review ever. Subscribed already
Awesome review. Would you mind doing a Nikon 14-24 vs the Tamron 15-30 2.8 I would love to see if the Tamron is worth buying saving $$$$ or go with the holy trinity 14-24 thanks 😊
You are the Best Thank You,, Hello from Ecuador
Hi!! :-)
Fantastic review. Thank you.
Superb review. Can't wait for my lens to arrive.
Many thanks - enjoy! :-)
Very informative and profesional video. I have this lense since many years and I could not express it better. Thanks a lot!
Brgds.
Klaus
Nicely done, thanks!
This guy is a brillant narrator, I love these reviews!!
Great review, I am looking into buying this lens as I need a wide angle and this has sold it to me, can't wait for a review on the 70-200mm vr2 if your going to do one
Many thanks for your comment. Am working on the 24-70 f2.8 at the moment but will get to the superb 70-200 after that.
JKLenses Just purchased the 14-24mm f2.8 and loving it, looking forward to the 70-200mm f2.8 review now though as thats next on my list, what version will you be using as from your Trinity shot its the VR1 which will I am considering due to the fact its nearly half the price used.
Dave Allen My 70-200 f2.8 is a VRI version and I think it's a fabulous lens. For the subjects which I shoot it regularly produces photos which rival almost any prime lens and is a delight to use. I've borrowed a VRII for a bit and it does appear to be a bit faster, gives slightly better images and an extra stop of VR (which isn't much use to me). If I was buying now I can guarantee that you wouldn't be disappointed with a VRI and this would obviously mean a lot less money. If you can afford the VRII that's great but if you need good value for money I think a decent secondhand VRI is much better value. Full review to follow... :-)
The thing to remember also, is that wide angles are not for "getting it all in"...
Very good review...
Thank You! :-)
An excellent review. Well done!
Thanks! :-)
I have too often LOST time bravely watching 3-6-min perfectly useless videos by people trying in vain to make themselves interesting. Here I have just GAINED 35 minutes of my time, watching a very informative and well documented video which makes the lens interesting. Thanks an awful lot, JK…
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it! :-)
nice review. Thanks. pls review nikon 24-120 f4 VR Lens
Thank you so much for this series. I'm getting the 14-24 and 24-70, but instead of 70-200 I'm getting 80-400. I know it's not as sharp, but I do need the extra range and I cannot afford another lens to reach that range.
I have a d800. Not sure about your model but you can select crop sensor mode in the d800 so a 200mm would get you closer (300m or more). Really depends on what's your tolerance to noise and how bad you need to print.
Thank you.
Thank you for this review. I'm thinking of getting the 24mm f1.4. But with the ISO of todays camera as you mentioned, I may regret not having a wider choice when taking a shot e.g. the light house photo of yours.
I think that's the key point - you need to decide whether you want a wide angle lens (in which case 24mm should do) or an ultra-wide lens (in which case you may need to head down below 20mm or so). The 24/1.4 also has the advantage of being able to isolate subjects to a certain extent, which is quite unusual at this focal length.
my 14-24 mm is two days old. nice piece of glass.
Thanks for putting all this effort into such a well put together and detailed video. I have the other two in the trinity and have a Sigma 10-20 and although I like it, it does have its issues. Your video is very good food for thought. :-)
Thanks! :-)
Hello JK, great review by the way. I just watched the 24-70 and this one, very good. I would like to know if you've heard about the Nikon 20mm f 1.8 recently on the market, what about it? It would be really good if you make a review on it, in your way, I mean, comparing it with other similar lenses. Thanks for the other reviews, all the best.
Thanks for your support! 20/1.8 looks to be a bit of a stunner and significantly better than the solid but long-standing 20/2.8.If you can afford the price tag then I don't think you'll be disappointed in the slightest... :-)
Great video .. thank you
Really great review. I loved watching it to the very end!
Thank You! :-)
tell me, how do you deal with the filter, I have this lens but i struggle with not being able to place filters in front of it.
My second question, is being able calculate the hyper focal lens on this lens, when shooting landscape i want everything sharp focus and i dont mange it with this lens. I dont understand why Nikon did not include the measurement like they did in the 17-35mm I have been tempted to swap lens just for that reason and being to put filters on it.
Your suggestion are very welcome!
Amazing and well thought out review, happy to have gotten this legendary lens!
Thanks for your support. :-)
i like it , iv got the holy trinity and d850 goblet of fire 😁
:-)
At 13:30 don't agree. Even at 14mm, if at 2.8 I can get quite noticeable blur in the background, definitely at 24mm and 2.8. Those examples looked like f/16 near the rocks...Otherwise good review, agreed it does have natural bokeh.
Great review
David Ashford Thanks! :-)
I own 2 of these lenses for my business. I love them EXCEPT anytime bright light crosses the front element from the side. The specular flaring is horrible. Little translucent balls on every solid colored surface. It drives me batty.
You are dead on; you have to be aware, visualize, and manage light sources with these lenses. I also own 2 of them, and i see no practical reason to replace them until something goes awfully awry, which, based on their build quality, might be well past the effective lifespan of DSLR's vs new mirrorless kit.
I am quite fond of mine, as well as the 24-70 f2.8 VR and 70-200 f2.8 VR (original version). All continue to do an excellent job, and i see no reason to 'upgrade' when there is little difference.
hi
thank you for the great review..
any thoughts on the 14-24 vs Tamron 15-30? cost no issue and I've got the day (switching from canon) ... help ?:)
Hello, JK, I was wondering whether your review of the 70-200mm f/2.8 is in the works. Not that I need it as I have owned the lens for 2-3 years, but it's nice to watch/listen to your videos. And don't be discouraged by the relatively few views - most people like superficial, useless short reviews, the unboxing type. Make yourself a nice new year.
Thank You. :-) Am currently about half way through the 70-200 review, which is a pleasure to do...should be out in a few weeks.
just got me one of these to do some astro (night photography and various landscapes. excellent review :P
Site please. And how much do you got it for?
i got it from adorama it was on sale at the time so 1789 dollers.TeK RaVeN
Thank you very much. And how is it so far, is it worth it over the the Nikon 14-24?
TeK RaVeN
what do you mean by worth it over the nikon 14 by 24? isnt that what you were wanting to get? well anyways yes its defiantly worth it! the only draw back for me is the sun flare at around 18mm and back. but other than that its a premium ultra sharp lens imo. but if the sunflare bothers you there is a anather lens by tamron its a 15 by 30 ive seen great reviews on that lens its doesnt have the sunflare like the nikon and has VR. its also cheaper. 1400 new. but its a mm short and a plastic construction vs a metal.
Awesome, thank you for your feedback bro, I really appreciate it.
Great review. I've been trying to decide between this lens and the Nikon 16-35 f4. The only thing about this 14-24 I do not like is the lack of protection to the lens. The VR would come in handy when shooting video to reduce the camera shake. I already own the other Two lenses of the trinity along with my D810. Nikon is having a pretty good sale on some of their lenses and both of these are on the list :-) B7H has $260 off the cost of the 16-35 & $200 off the 14-24. I did read somewhere that the 16-35 has a plastic barrel, but is it flimsy? Thank's :-)
Hi. I'd go for the 14-24 if funds allow but the 16-35/4 is an excellent Plan B.
Many people seem to find this filter system: www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1026082-REG/fotodiox_wdpnab150_kit_nk1424_wonderpana_absolute_150_kit.html a good way to provide some protection for the exposed front element of the 14-24. :-)
JKLenses Thank's. I checked on the photodiode kit at B&H but it said it was no longer available :-( I will see how much the Lee System is.
JKLenses It's me again. LOL I just watched Matt Granger's review comparing the Nikon 14-24 against the Tamron 15-30 2.8 VR and the Tamron is looking pretty good, never thought I'd say that about a Tamron lens. LOL Check out his video and get back with me. Thanks.
How did you get a white Nikon 70-200mm ??
They do manufacture some of these in Japan. Not for every model though. They actually call it " light grey ". I just looked on the Yodobashi camera website, but, could not see any listed . www.yodobashi.com
Sir, excellent and informative reviews. I especially like your advice on alternatives for those of us who cannot afford the "Holy Trinity" lenses. Have you done Part 3 yet on the telephoto? I cannot seem to find it.
Another question. I'm coming from a DX system to FX and have the Nikon 12-24 DX lens. As you may know, this lens covers full frame from about 18mm to 24mm with a constant aperture of f4. I've shot it on my F100 film camera down to 18mm and it looks okay to me, and useful as a wide angle. I do not have an FX digital body to try it on though. I've got a chance to pick up a 20mm f2.8 AF-d at a good price under $300 US. Aside from size and weight, do you think there is anything to be gained by going that route, or would you just shoot the DX lens at 18-20mm first? Do you think the 20mm prime would be better? My thought was that i could also use the 20mm as a short normal lens on my DX camera, coming in at around 30mm. Your thoughts? Thanks.
It's on its way - am just finishing the last sections - thanks! :-)
Hi. My principle is to buy new lenses when your existing ones can't do the job at hand. It sounds as though the excellent 12-24 DX lens is doing a good job down to 16mm on FX... If you're not happy with its results then the smaller, cheaper and simpler 20mm f2.8 will provide excellent results at this focal length but will not get down to 18mm. It will also do a great job as a pretend 30mm on DX. The 20mm is great but if the 12-24 'isn't broke, don't fix it..!' :-)
Great video! Thanks. You spelled handling wrong at 47'' tho.
Ooops! Thanks for spotting that! :-)
niec job. keep your job. thx
Thanks! :-)
;D The 6mm could do this pictures to ;)
Great Review, thank you very much
I'd love to do a review of the 6mm if anyone wants to lend me one! :-)
So no bokeh at f2.8 slap bang in front of the rock ??
Good stuff
Thanks! :-)
you only did part one and two. Are you planning on doing the 70-200 ?
Should be out in the next couple of weeks...
Thanks for this great, concise video! You convinced me! I just purchased if used from ebay for $1,449 from a reputable seller I did business with before, a few scratches on the hood, but the glass is perfect! I can't wait to use it!! I just switched over from a DX to FX camera and was going to do prime lens but I always loved zooms! And this sounds too good to pass up! Thanks!!
Btw, any thoughts on the Nikon 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens?
@17:20... Is that some LINN speakers ?
Good spot - Linn Keilidhs... :-)
@@jklenses8611 Yeah ! I got them in black a long time ago before switching to some actives NINKA with LK140 amps, Kolektor pre-amp, Ikemi cd player and a fully loaded LP12 turntable + Linto + Lingo. A very nice system. Thanks for sharing the review of thie Nikon 14-24mm lens, I ordered one for myself to complete my "trinity" of f/2.8 lenses ! Many thanks.
@@MrToonfish 😊 Have always ben a Naim (amps) / Linn (speakers) kind of guy. Still have the Keilidhs but they’re now active with Naim 82/NAXO/pair of 180s. I used to have an LP12 with LVII/Troika/early-Lingo on a Russ Andrews’ Torlyte but this had to go when toddlers arrived! Sadly the system spends most of its time producing the sound for the TV from the Freesat box for the family…😊
This review is awesome. You're the shit man.
The 14-24mm destroys the 16-35 f4! I have no idea why Ken Rockwell prefers it...
As mentioned in the last part of the video the 16-35 is a good alternative for those who don't want to donate a kidney to buy this lens.
hi
I am using Nikon D7100 camera. 14-24 f2.8 is good choice for me?
Hi. The D7100 has a DX format sensor rather than the FX for which the 14-24 was designed. Although the 14-24 will work fine on the D7100 it will behave as though it was a 21-36mm lens as you will only be using the central part of the image from this lens. For a wide-angle zoom in the DX format I would go for the very good 12-24 f4 which gave me very good results for several years or the later update from Nikon, the 10-24 f3.5-4.5. Although not quite up to the quality of the 14-24 they are much smaller, lighter and cheaper and will give you excellent pictures on your D7100. Hope this helps... :-)
Even on DX the 14-24mm is a winner, as one day you will go full frame! DX lenses no longer hold their value like they used to. I supplement my 14-24 with an 8mm samyang manual prime (cheap) for that extra reach. Great review too ! :)
Hello Fenil,
I also have a Nikon D7100 and to have a Super Wide Angle for the 7100 I purchase the Tokina 11-16mm 2.8 that is made for DX Cams, EXCELLENT.
Rogert Espaillat thanks Rogert, I am planning to buy Nikon 12-24 lense.
G'dayFenil,
I have the d7100 and purchased the Nikkor 14-24mm lens as well as the 150W Lee filter kit to go with it.
The lens works fantastic on my d7100, but the reason why I purchased this lens in the first place is because I will be updating to a full frame camera at a later date.
Believe it or not, the Tokina 11-16mm is of comparable quality and a fraction of it's price...
just *Trinity* reserve *Holy Trinity* for, well you know...
that white nikon 70-200 are you kidding me!?
POTUS, Donald Trump, would like it. The lens is white and he knows more about cameras and drones than anyone else
nikon right...? but why 70-200 2.8 is white...?
It does look white on the video but it's a light grey finish called Tropical Grey which Nikon did on some of their pro lenses, although I'm not sure that it's available any longer... :-)
dull presentation,especially the voice, but nice to see what it can do
play this video at 1.25 x speed and thank me later
