This seller ships stuff from China and not the original Japanese goods

All my other Nikkor lenses are "Made in Japan." This is my first experience with this seller and it was not a good one. They shipped me a lens "Made in China." Be careful when buying from this seller. Make sure to ask them where the lens was made before placing the order.
Questionable build quality

I had to return the first 10-24mm lens as I found an oily smear between the inner and outer barrels. I wiped it clean but it appeared again after rotating the zoom ring several times. Repeated cleanings did not resolve the problem. I was also concerned that the zoom ring did not rotate as smoothly as I had expected and it had a rather rough sound to it. The replacement lens did not have any oily material on the barrel but did have the same rough sound when rotating the zoom. Similarly, the zoom ring on the replacement lens did not rotate smoothly. I haven't had time to thoroughly review the quality of the photos this lens can produce, but I must say I am disappointed at spending over $800 on a lens that just doesn't seem to be built very well.
As Good as Advertised

Most of my thoughts echo those already expressed by other raters, but allow me to add that this particular lens has opened up an amazing avenue of creativity not found in other lenses. Ken Rockwell reviewed this specific lens and wide-body benefits extraordinarly well, and I recommend anyone seeking this sort of tool to examine his writing before purchasing. I'm certainly glad I did. This is a magnificent lens!
Awesome range, not really fast, not really cheap

This lens is a lot of fun! IQ is pretty good. Most of the distortion this lens produces can be corrected without fancy tools if you have to and the sharpness (pointed out by other reviews) is good enough to satisfy me at a 8x10 print size. If you view your shots at 100% you might find issues were cheaper normal range lenses perform slightly better - but I guess these are physical consequences of this extrem focal length.
I like the range. 10 mm is awesome - but 24 mm still allows you to use it for "normal" snapshots with people in it that don't look too weird. This makes this lens much more versatile in my opinion than optically superior lenses with a smaller focal range. Sometimes I wish it was faster, but I wouldn't want to see the prize tag either if it were...
For a DX lens, it is not quite cheap, but it is certainly a better build quality than many other DX lenses.
The reason to spend the money for this lens is if you want the widest super-wide angle available for DX that allows you to go to a moderate 36mm FX equivalent and still has a very acceptable weight. The Tokina 11-16 costs less, is faster, potentially optically superior, but heavier and limited in it's focal range.
It comes down to range and weight vs. speed and price. I think I would pick the Nikon again.
Great Lens 10-24mm

This is a great lens. Building and scenic photos turn out extremely well. The close ups for people the resolution is outstanding with the Macro effect.
Started using warming filters Tiffen 802 with flash and indoors for a nice effect.
Great choice for an all round lens.
