Finally, my last piece of lens... for this year 2006

I'm so happy and excited right now as I just gotten from skyestang my last piece of lens that I wanted to get this year. It is the Nikon AF-S DX 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED. With this piece of lens, I have very much completed my landscape lenses collection as this piece of lens is for wide angle which is very effective and useful for landscape shots.

Before gotten this lens, my widest Picture Angle with Nikon DX Format is 76 degree using my AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED or AF-S DX 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G at 18mm without distortion. That is not really wide enough. I actually have my AF DX Fisheye 10.5mm f/2.8G ED with a picture angle of 180 degree, but that is with the Fisheye effect distortion at the side which is not desirable if I want pure wide angle landscape without distortion.

With this new lens, I can achieve up to 99 degree Picture Angle with Nikon DX Format at 12mm which is really wide for a digital format SLR. Look forward to go out to shoot with this lens.

Anyway, I have really gotten all the lenses that I wanted to get this year. Guess time to take it slow until next year where I got bigger plans. :p
