To DAP, I’ve just published the 24mm crop series from the following lenses:

  1. Nikon AF-S 14-24/2.8G ED
  2. Nikon AF-S 16-35mm f/4G ED VR
  3. Nikon AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8D ED-IF
  4. Nikon AF-S 24-70/2.8G ED
  5. Nikon 24mm f/2 AI

Crop series at 16mm, 17mm, 21mm, 28mm and 35mm are coming soon. The vignetting and distortion series were previously published.
