May 10--One of the things I was curious about with the new 10-24mm DX lens was whether it would lose one of the features that kept the 12-24mm in my FX bag: a big enough image circle to let the lens be used as an 18-24mm lens on my FX bodies. Well, surprise, the 10-24mm seems to cover the FX frame at somewhere just under 15mm. That's right, this DX lens might actually be the 14-24mm FX lens that accepts filters! Of course, I don't expect the same edge performance...
Being able to use a diopter on this lens on FX might work.
I read one user review that suggested the lens was soft in the corners unless stopped down to F8. Would think that effect would be worse on FF.

It probably will be, it will just be interesting to see if someone who owns this lens or the Tamron gives it a try. The Tamron particularly is only about $500, so if one can get it to perform at f8 with a dioptre, probably not a bad deal compared to the 14-24 which is only about $1750. It's also nice I think that there is some utility to Nikon's ability to use DX lenses on FX, and the ability to turn off the auto crop when you mount a DX lens.
