Guy, If you do rent the Zeiss 18, I would love to know how it performs on a D800. Although I found the 18 wasn't quite the performer the 21mm was on the D700/D3s, it was certainly more than just a competant performer on those cameras. I too love the 18mm focal length, especially the spacing of 18 & 24mm. Hey, want a lens with a ton of mustache distortion and heavy vignetting but actually not half bad when it comes to center sharpness (at least with most samples)? Well look no further than the Nikon Af 18mm AF-D lens....LOL! It's tiny (compared to the Zeiss) thats for sure and has that crinkle industrial look finish too! What's not to like ...and to think how rediculously expensive this lens used to be.
Seriously, Nikon seems to have abandoned the ultra wide angle single focal length catagory, ever since they released the 14-24mm f2.8. There were rumors a while back for a replacement to their Af 14mm f2.8, but nothing so far has materialized, unfortunately
Thanks!
