[QUOTE="cbay, post: 488203, member: 35177"] Hi, I never had a wide angle to compare it with so it's new territory for me but i am satisfied with it. On the 7200 it focus tunes at -16 and won't quite get there with my D7000. Now with this lens it's not that critical - as i normally don't shoot at 20mm at f/2.8 but it is something to consider for close ups. I returned the first one because of this and the second one was further out than the first, but it struck me as being sharp and i didn't want to chance another copy. I'm a landscape shooter so it's all good here, and will focus fine on the 7200 at any setting. I think it's just the nature of these and other lenses that the sharpness falls off in the distance on images so i can't really say it's a problem or any worse than others. Foreground shots i think are this lens's specialty - and i've taken some images with it that are razor sharp so i know it is capable. Some were so so and i just assume that is a result of the ole "good light - bad light" factor. All in all i'm glad i got it. I have some samples here in my thread [url]http://nikonites.com/project-365-and-daily-photos/28477-cbays-2015-journey-along-12.html#axzz3jwg3Rq8A[/url] And some better to view on my flickr [url]https://www.flickr.com/photos/130798075@N03/[/url] Hope this helps.
