I purchased the Nikon 10-24mm about 2 months ago and have had a chance to use it at several different events. I shoot using a somewhat photojournalistic approach, 2 bodies with a wide and a tele. The 10-24mm on a D70 body and an 18-200mm on a D200. With this setup, i found myself using both cameras about equally. The focus is fast, even in darker settings, and the image quality seems to be quite good. The 'fish-eye' distortion at the wide end is certainly present, but i found it to be manageable, maybe even 'manipulatable' is a better term. Its there when you want it, but it can be easily controlled/minimized when you don't need it to be so pronounced. Overall, the lens feels (to me) more like a 'normal' or 'prime' in close quarters. Extra wide certainly comes in very handy, and i found myself using the 10mm end quite a bit.
The control layout is Nikon intuitive. The Manual Focus override is very helpful. The zoom ring grip feels generous and purposeful, I have bigger hands and don't particularly like the smaller grip on the 18-200 nearly as well. The zoom action is nice and smooth and the big lens shade is especially nice for keeping incident light out. I have read some reviews which knock the build quality a little, because its not at the same 'professional' level as the older 12-24mm, but i think the quibble over that in this plastic age is somewhat useless. Yeah, the 12-24mm barrel is beefier, but the range on the 10-24mm trumps that. I do a lot of volunteer work and don't need a robust casing to brave the elements. If you're generally careful with your gear, like most enthusiasts, you shouldn't have any problems. Just the fact that the 10-24mm sports a metal mount says a lot. And, again, 2 more mm at the wide end makes it a far more useful lens for about $200 less. Just my opinion.
Fantastic Lens July 2, 2010

I do a lot of wedding photography and of course the wide angle is a must have lens in the wedding photography world. This is a great lens, but it didn't come at a cheap price.
Ultra wide on a DX June 14, 2010
Zhenyu Sun (San Francisco)
I used this lens on my D300. It works great. It is wide. Some people say that the lens is not good at 10mm but I found little problems.
Great WideAngle Lens for DX users... March 30, 2010

Bought this lens a couple of months back, and have loved shooting with it ever since. Recently just went to Italy. Before the trip I was debating whether or not I would need a wide angle lens like this. I have the new 18-200 vr II lens and thought I would be able to be fine. Against my intuition I went ahead and bought this lens. WOW. I am so glad that I did! It is a fantastic lens that allows you to be more creative and really make stunning images. People seem to get really caught up in technical details... this is a great lens that makes sharp and colorful images. If you read that it is not sharp, they probably don't know how to focus their camera correctly. 99% of image blunders are made by the photographer, not the camera or lens.
If you love wide angle images, this is a must have lens for your arsenal. It is a solidly built lens, despite what other reviewers have said. Sure it's not pro standard, but who needs that anyway? And if it was built to pro standard it would cost probably about five times as much! Bottom line, it's a great lens, and you won't regret buying it. As for the 12-24, it's a great option. Definitely built tougher, and about the same price, but that 2mm makes a big difference. So if you want WIDE, go for the 10-24.
