Nikon's 12-24 Dx will not put them ahead, just behind the Canon  16-35/2.8.

The 12-24 is only for the Digital SLR's making it a 17-35.

Canon has the 16-35 making it a 21-45 on their 1.3x digital SLR. Nikon is
still at 1.5x, and still too slow.

Not a Canon lover or Nikon hater, just what I've tried out.
