Nikon 24mm f/2.8 AIS Nikkor User Reviews
-
Very good from f5.6. Very solid, but still compact. Excellent colour rendition.A bit soft in the corners at f2.8
This is my one AIS lens. I like autofocus, but the wide angle helps here.

From f5.6 on, image quality is delightful.
Compact but weighty, this will likely outlast all my other lenses. -
Compact, quite sharp, good build. Has an aperture ring and distance scale. Smooth focus ring.So-so contrast in ideal conditions. Soft glow in tricky light.
Got this lens for 93 EUR (105 USD) including shipping, and for that price I'm quite satisfied with it. Once I got to know when to use it and when not to (i.e. indoors when light is coming from all sorts of angles), it's been a pleasure to use. Check out the Flickr groups dedicated to this lens before buying it, as well as Jose Rocha's review.

One of the sharpest lenses ever made, fast enough, wide with low distortionMustache barrel distortion, noticeable if you shoot brick walls
One of the best wide lenses ever made. It has a high IQ right from 2.8 and across the frame. This has always been a sought after lens because of its high IQ all over the frame. Most 24mm or wider lenses smear the image at the edges of the lens. This one does not.

I like the angle of view on this lensJust doesn't seem as sharp as it should be
I've owned both and I don't think either the 24/F2 AIS or the 24 F/2.8 AIS are that great. I've read many places that the "crown jewels" of the wide angle line up from Nikon are the 28's. I shoot with the 28 F/2 AIS and it is truly magnificent. Extreme sharpness from foreground to infinity. I just wish the 24's were like it. This 24 likes to flare like mad. Don't need flare in the pics. So, I just can't give it a high rating at all.

very compact! metal body, nostalgic feelingold & outdated, so-so performer
this is my lens.. if I'm taking my Nikon F3 for that nostalgic street hunts. it's wide, small, fast & sturdy. the mechanics are perfect. I still own this lens and it runs smoothly until now.

Optics are good (especially for its era), but no better than any modern lens. Use a modern (digital) body? a lenskit would outperforms this lens in terms of image quality.
I keep it for that nostalgic moments. If you're a collector, then it's a must have.
