Great edge to edge sharpness and color
I've owned a lot of great Nikkor lenses. This one is a step up in sharpness and color. It will be my "go to" lens for 80 % of my photography. I have never seen better 35mm sharpness. Large prints will not be a challenge. The weight is easily managable, as well.

Great performance for general use.
Pin shape optics. Great bokeh. Good focusing. Heavy and bulky for the long haul.

The beast is the best!
I absolutely love this lens It's Always on one of my cameras or in the bag. General purpose standard wide angle photography and Portraits are what I use it most for. I have Lots of other lenses, primes, specialty and tele's but this one always delivers the goods! I use it far more than my super wides. Super useful range 28-70 f2.8 fast sharp and you could knock out someone trying to rob you with it LOL

Anyone getting extreme chromatic aberration at the maximum aperture?
From 3.2 to 2.8 I get the worst chromatic aberration that I've ever seen. It happens both with backlighting situations as well as on every specular highlight and glare that are in my images. I don't know if this is something wrong with my lens or if anyone else has the same problem.

Answer:
This seems like an overload of the cameras sensor photodiodes creating a spill effect into adjacent pixels. Since no real data is present for the pixel, and color is selected and it is generally purplish. When there is an unrealistic contrast, or when some or the entire image is not acceptably exposed. The image will need to be exposed properly to reduce this effect, and that will only occur when exposure is pushed beyond what is normally acceptable. Try re-shooting with a different exposure.4 months, 3 weeks ago
