Well I have no idea how my Sigma superwide II compares to a Nikon but I'm happy with it for what I use it for..... after all "what you don't know you don't miss".

Why do you change it? I found that it's a very good lens for the money.
If i should afford the leica, minolta, zeiss (in 25 mm of course), well the change should be a fact.
Tell us, if you want to, why you get off that nikkor. |

Wise , very true. In general 24mm lenses are excellent from any well known makers.

I'm like you in that I rarely use a lens wide open, so that helps one lens to be more of an equalizer compared to others

Pros rarely use lens wide open ..  at the beginning of mflenses.com I remember for a member who made amazing shoots with usual lenses , he is Bulgarian. His father spent his life as camera man he did teach her son to use F8-F11 much as possible, I did listen to this advice it was wise, my success ratio did increased a lot.

I love this lens. The only reason I changed I wanna get rid of it is because the filter ring is bent. I'm gonna go to my local camera repair shop this week and try to see if they can bang it back. If not then I'll sell it and just get another nikkor 24mm. Man is this lens sharp and light.

Well I want sharpness too, but there are other things to consider and the forum would be less interesting if it was all about sharp lenses.
Another lens that should at least equal the Nikon would be the expensive Canon FD 24mm f2.

Hehe, yeah, I was itching to write since yesterday that FD 24 f2 is without a shadow of a doubt the best 24mm that I've ever had, but held off since I have one for sale.
Btw it's not that expensive either, I'm selling a minty one converted to EOS for 300 Euros, FD version would be cheaper although I am keeping that one for myself.
Canon FD 24mm F2, wide open.

Get the Nikkor fixed.
My favourite has to be my (AF, although the AF does not work), Sigma Superwide II (24mm). Even with a nasty scratch, it makes nice images.
