Nope. It depends on how you use it. Don't forget at at 24mm, it has a cropped view of a 36mm which is used for full body portraiture. I have a few shots of people taken with the 12-24mm during Astin's shoot. Just search for it.KNIGHT ONG said:Taking human being at WA, not recommended ...

in the face of a lack of a ultra-wide angle solution (short of going the Canon FF way), the 12-24 is the best option IMHO.

I have the lens on the D70. Find it to be quite sharp. But have to get used to doing perspective correction on Photoshop when taking buildings. Otherwise when taking a shot with too much tile over the horizon, the buildings will all appear to lean too much to the middle.

I must say, it has to do more with the photographer than the camera or the lens.
Sigh, how can you judge the sharpness or details on a 900x600 JPG photo?!?Also, the sensor is only 6MP while the object has huge amount of information. Especially for WA, you cannot judge it that way as well.geoyip said:Those were some of the better pics, but even for the above shots i posted, if u look at pic 1, the dragons on the roof seems to have loss quite alot of detail (due to softness?)
