Nikkor 16-35mm f/4 Ultra wide/wide angle:
I actually find it more creative to play with ultra wide angle than using telezoom, especially when traveling. I preferred it over the 14-24 f/2.8 because of weight / inability to cover the front lens/ultra wide only.
Not the sharpest one, but excellent colors/micro contrast.

Nice collection you have there too!

The only thing (lens) I am missing right now is either 16-35mm f/4 or 14-24mm f/2.8, I would prefer to get the second one but I don't usually shoot indoor so, spending ~$1800 for that glass is waste of $$ for me....at least for now

The major reason why I did not go for the 14-24 is the sensitive front lens which looks like a light bulb. To shoot ultra wide angle is not for indoor only and f/4 with VR is on modern high ISO sensors OK concerning light amount.

It opens a different perspective. Many think it is made to get more/a wider angle on the picture.
But it is made to go close to objects while having still an amazing background. For instance on a beach when you go close to a boat you have details of the boat and one still has the feeling to be live on the beach. It gives a sort of live feeling. And you can play with strange perspectives by tilting the cam.

Minimal change of distance to a close object and tilt change the composition drastically.

It requires to learn to use UW angle but makes a lot of fun. Maybe have a look at wide angle shoots especially to get impressed, then the time till you get a own UW lens will be very short.

Pro 16-35:
price
Has got VR
wide angle also
Can have filters attached, front lens is safe
not heavy

Con:
Not as sharp as the 14-24
f/4 only
Not as 'ultra' as 14mm

Either way: Enjoy shooting.
