10-24 DX on FX camera...

[Stany Buyle]

I was just reading KR's comments on the 10-24 DX lens.

"...Then the bell rang, and my Nikon 10-24mm DX just arrived. I'd better get back to work.
It's made in China, it seems really nice, and Nikon is so adamant about quality that even the plastic bag has the same serial number as the lens. Collectors beware: you now need numbers matching on the lens, box, and plastic bag! It covers FX out to 15mm..."

So this lens would be a price attractive alternative to the 14-24, or did I miss something?

I doubt it because corners are a bit soft even on DX wide open, and wide open is already quite closed compared to the 14-24.
Based on a few short tests you need to close down to 5.6-8.0 to get a very good result on DX (so for landscape for instance it will be a wonderful lens on DX)
IQ will probably not be convincing at all on FX.
And KR is not really a reference about photography...
