This is an amazing lens. I purchased this for my Nikon D700 after a workshop with a large format landscape photographer. I use it more and more as I continue to discover its creative possibilities.

Great lens for shooting architecture and landscapes. Minus is that it cannot be rotated fully on Nikon D7000, otherwise the impression is perfect: it's supersharp, comfortable to use.
Well worth the money
Plenty features and options on this lens, and can do certain things that applications like Photoshop cannot; Great look and design, and its a very reliable product.
Big and pretty heavy
This is the only lens I have ever bought used, but it was in pristine condition. I bought this lens primarily to take one picture, but have found a lot of use for it once I owned it. It is not a "point and shoot lens," but it has been a fun lens to learn to use.
Very sharp lens, corner to corner. I am just getting use to PC-E lenses, so there is a learning curve. I have been able to use the lens in both landscape and architecture and the shift function has been very useful. I am also still on a learning curve to remember this is a manual focus lens.
Consistent Output; Durable; Strong Construction
As a newbie digital SLR refugee from a past life of large format sheet film landscape work this lens was to me a 'must have' item rather than the latest super zoom or exotic telephoto etc.
"I rented this lens specifically for the purposes of shooting architecture and landscape images. What I found while shooting is that this lens is limited to both the shift & tilt or _swing_ funtion are locked to each other.
Pros: Strong Construction, Durable, Consistent Output Cons: Other thoughts: Very sharp lens, corner to corner. I am just getting use to PC-E lenses, so there is a learning curve. I have been able to use the lens in both landscape and architecture and the shift function has been very useful.
Created chiefly for the high-end Nikon D300 and D3, the new 24mm PC (Perspective Control) lens from Nikon can also be used on other Nikon D-SLR cameras, such as the relatively new D60 on which I tested it, albeit with some loss of full automation and functionality.
Part of Nikon's resurgence during the past year was the announcement in January '08 of three new Perspective Control lenses, a 24mm f/3.5, 45mm and 85mm. The 24mm was the first of the three to ship, (and arguable the most useful for the landscape photographer), and is the subject of this report.
