Verdict

A lens this good deserves a wider audience than it will probably get. One way to do that would be for Nikon to supply its 24mm f/1.4 in other mounts but that is very unlikely. More likely, and more beneficial to Nikon, is the fact that this lens is clearly part of a major Nikkor advantage in optical design that might tempt other users to look afresh at the Nikon system.
