Users are overwhelmingly positive about this ultra-wide zoom lens, praising its sharpness, minimal distortion, and fast autofocus. It pairs well with various Nikon bodies, including the D850, D780, D6, and Z9, and is particularly favored for landscape and real estate photography. The moderate price and lightweight design are also appreciated, though some note it's not an f/2.8 lens. Overall, it's highly recommended for those seeking a wide-angle option.
