What do you think guys?

My opinion:
1. More choice for Nikon DX format users on super wideangle lens.
2. Might be join-designed with Tamron, with higher quality Nikon-made lenses and focusing motor inside
3. Shows commitment from Nikon to their DX format DSLR.
4. Might be a replacement of the 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED AF-S DX or a cheaper, non pro version of it.

I definitely waiting for this rumors to become reality.

This is exciting! Hope the competition between manufacturers will heat up!

I was hoping for constant aperture...but guess that'll bring prices too high.
But anyway, still looking forward to it! and of course, hope it'll be cheap!

If you trace the photos, it comes from a Chinese forum, and seems that it's leaked from someone in Nikon

Actually don't see THAT great adifference from the 12-24. I guess those who already have the 12-24 won't bother, and those who don't have any, MAY go for this. But if it is a sub-S$500 lens then it would be complementary to the existing range.

Feel f4.5 is still plenty big for wide angles for DOF...

architer · 27th March 2009

I have no plans of buying another DX lens. But hey, if it's cheap why not.

I doubt this lens will surface. I may be wrong.

Nice,a UWA for DX users,seems to have manual overwrite from the picture.

huggable · 28th March 2009

The design of the "new" lens look so much like the 12-24mm.

stdfoto · 29th March 2009

Looks like another plasticky lens.

If its SRP is at a good price point, its really worth considering!!!

Wondering whether this will be better optically compared to the Tokina 11-16mm that I am using already. The Tok is limited in focal length but has the f/2.8 to boot. Worth considering if the price point Nikon asks for is not extravagrant !

Well, I am sure at least it will perform better than the Tamron 10-24... This might be a join design by Nikon and Tamron where they design the structure together, then produce it using their own glasses and focusing motor...

And the price might be higher than Tamron 10-24, but still lower than Nikkor 12-24.
