What jd750 said. I have a 12-24 Sigma, very sharp, very heavy and bulky. I use it often for covered bridges and old buildings. It helps to have an object in the foreground. I often don't bring it because it is cumbersome, but once I look through the lens I remember why I love this lens. Colors are great, no need for filters. I use it on a Canon 6D mkll.

I use the 24-105 more but the 10-18
does get used enough to justify the
cost and to carry.

Considering how little it costs in dollars
AND in bag space, it really doesn't take
a great amount of use to justify its cost.
Bonus ! ! For those unfamiliar with the
10-18, it has in-lens IS. So f/4.5 ~ 5.6
has more low light application than you
might initially expect :-)

Depends on the kind of photography you do. I use my Nikon 14-24mm 2.8 lens with my Nikon D750 for 90% of what I have available on my website for naturescapes and astrophotography. It's my money-maker. But if you don't do landscapes, then it's not worth the investment. When I travel internationally and I'm not as focused on my speciality of local Florida naturescapes, then I use my 24-120mm f4 lens 90% of the time. I take my 14-24 but I don't take my 200-500 Nikon because I don't want to carry the weight, (of course unless I'm going to go on a safari and then I'm going to take the long lens and my Nikon TeleConvertor 1.4 with it). Take a look at how I use if if you care to... http://www.gingerichphotoart.com

I am starting to question how often i will use my f.8 14-24 lens and if i want to lug around a seldom used lens that weighs 35 oz. For those that use that lens or a similar lens; when do you use it? Would you post photos.
I would use it architecturally, i beleive its rectilinear, meaning no barrel distortion at all. Rather than the straight 14mm f2.8, the zoom offers flexibility of cropping.

In addition to what others have said, I would use it to photograph medium to large groups in tight spaces.
The f8 widest opening isn't doing you any favors. Keep in mind that if you are shooting with a crop sensor camera you have to multiply the f8 x 1.5 for Nikon which make the actual aperture f12.

I doubt there is an f8, must have been a typo...probably f2.8 !

Right on, it's big and it's heavy. But I find I'm using it increasingly to combat iPhone-itis. The perspective is different of course especially at the widest end and therefore the compositioon of many shots gives a different and unique feel compared to the panos iPhones do so well and viewers often like, so I find it's worth the extra bother.

Applying the "crop factor" to the wrong parameter.
No change in f/ number.

I don't use it when instead I'm using a 24-120mm Nikkor. Or when I'm just using a 20mm prime. Or when I'm not using a longer prime or zoom of some sort. Or when I'm using a 10-20mm Nikkor or a 12-24mm (Tokina AT-X) on one of my little cameras. I mostly don't use a 12-24mm Nikkor lens because I don't have one. Its an awful admission, of course, but I trudge through life and try to make up for it by making panos or stacks or stacked panos. Life's hard.

Similar field of view: 10-18 mm on APS-C Canon T3i. Ultra-lightweight, but limited IMO because best use was for ultra-close up. I had an 18-135 mm to cover the rest.
I like both of those shots, but the apple orchard is superb!
