Echoing the others, this is a great lens. I use mine for night sky photography; not much is more revealing of a lens than making images of point light sources (stars) in a field of dark, black sky. This lens has nice, pointy dots for stars.
I also had this lens' predecessor, the Nikon 14-24 f/2.8 G for the F-mount. It was a great lens in its day--very clean for stars in the center, with some star elongation toward the corners. The Z version carries that great center quality out to the corners.
I definitely recommend this lens. The obvious alternative, the Nikon 16-30 f/4, does not go wide enough for me. And while I've not had one in hand, published images shot near 16mm show mushy edges to my eyes.
