I ran across some great reviews on www.16-9.net on the Nikkor 14-24mm 2.8. This may be one of the best lenses ever made, and is most certainly the best zoom ever made. Check the reviews out:

Nikon 14-24mm v Canon 24mm L v Sigma 12-24mm

Nikon 14-24mm f2.8 G v Canon 16-35mm f2.8 L II v Contax Vario Sonnar 17-35mm f2.8
 
Nikon 14-24mm f2.8 G v Canon 14mm L II Tested on Canon 1Ds III

Really worth the time to take a look at. I'm thinking of cross posting in the Canon forum as well since these tests were done on a Canon body.

Mean people are like slinkys. They're not good for much but are rather entertaining to watch tumble down the stairs.

Wow, if I had the money this lens would be my preferred landscape lens on a FF canon body.

Boy oh boy, that last link blow me away with the samples and how much better the Nikon lens is over the L Canon lens.

Interesting comparison - looks like Canon has some work to do on that lens to make it comparable.

The only lens they tested that beat it was the 21mm Zeiss Distagon - a $1500 Prime German lens. Wow.

Fixed the links in the OP Mike.  That's a crazy good lens...you need to seriously mate your D700 with it...serious man...get more real estate gigs and pull off some awesome stuff and pay for it that way.

Did you see our new guy larry?Huh  Check out his Vegas stuff on his site in the "Post your website" board.

btw - there was one more link I didn't post. In this review the Nikon does meet its match:

http://www.16-9.net/lens_tests/nikon1424_21mm/nikon1424_21mm1.html

However, the lens that beats it is a $1500 Zeiss 21mm Distagon. It's almost as expensive, is manual focus, and is a prime lens. It's amazing that this zoom is out resolving L series prime lens glass from Canon.
