designed for DX-format Nikon F-mount cameras, this lens provides a 16.5-24mm equivalent focal length range.



NOT for full frame

for a crop sensor and good price

I hate that you posted this because I had to get it. Too good of a deal for the most recent version of a highly regarded lens.

I just ordered a 'like new' DX-II version of this lens with hood for $260 last night. I saw a video that said that this new version is identical to the DX-II in every respect except minor cosmetic detail. This is an extremely tempting price for new, but considering the hood alone is $40+, I'm still not sure if I should cancel my order for the used version.

Coming here to ask this and you already answered. That was going to be my guess. My wife is getting into RE photos and this seems like a perfect addition to get started.

Kenny Rockwell seems to have loved the earlier version of this lens.

This is a great lens almost bought the predecessor, but ended up with a used Sigma 10-20m for Real Estate. Paid used $180 pre-covid.
It does well for RE. Tokina 11-16 is faster better regarded but the Sigma has been great for RE.

I personally wouldn't pay $260 for a used DX II since you can get it for $200 fairly easily if you keep an eye out for one on eBay or closer to $150 if you put in more effort or get lucky.

I own II and not this newest version to personally compare them, but I'd definitely spend the extra $40 to buy new unless you want to find a better deal for II. It sounds like maybe you don't realize that this new version includes a lens hood?

I would not give Ken Rockwell's opinion any weight at all. Reading his reviews about throw me into a fit with all the misinformation!

Also please make sure your camera is an APS-C sensor (cropped, and not full frame or mirrorless) if you buy this. It would only work on two of my seven Canon cameras, and those are the two I loan to anyone and don't care what happens to them!

At the same time, I would not recommend a crop sensor camera for real estate photos. it makes cramped interiors very difficult.

By all accounts this lens is sharp, which is incredibly rare in this price category.

I did not know that the lens hood is included. Thanks for that info.

The DX-II is definitely available even cheaper used, but I just prefer to buy used lenses that are in new condition. But with hood included spending the extra $40 for new is a no-brainer.

One of my favorite lenses. I have an older version of this same lens, and it's well worth this price. Great for DX format, and if you set it to 16mm it actually works perfectly well as a full frame lens without any significant distortion or vignetting.

Ken Rockwell doesn't have a review I can find for this specific version of it, but supposedly the lens is functionally identical to the last version, and there's great info here:

Can you explain what you mean when you say "I would not recommend a crop sensor camera for real estate photos. it makes cramped interiors very difficult." Are you referring to the crop factor making this lens behave like a 16 - 24 mm lens? Are there other reasons for avoiding CF cameras for RE.
