I have the AF24mm F2.8D and I would say it is one of the better wides in the D series ....... having 9 elements in 9 groups (where many of the other D series are doing it with 6/7 elements) ..... also it will not be subject to lens cement issues as per the AF20mm F2.8D for example ...... it even gets sharp in the corners at F5.6/8 on the FF sensor, where the 20/28/35mm don't.
I haven't really used mine on the D500 (DX) but looking at the zone's old review on the DX sensor it struggles at the edges/corners ....... whether this would be an issue when using it on a T/S adapter ?? ......
All in all, you own it, so if it doesn't do the job to your liking it's no huge loss, as you can sell it ....... and of course there is a big difference between recommending keeping a lens and recommending going out and buying one .....
