To "nicky" & "gohaj".

Before you go ahead, please read from this website:

It's all explained clearly.

However, you can them 'google' the model and see if it's available more cheaply elsewhere.

P.S. I am not using one. So happen to stumble onto 16:9 cos their lens reviews are quite gear. :)

So few 14-24 users?
 

I think with the introduction of the affordable D700 fullframe cam, this 14-24mm superwide may make more sense.

D700 is about S$5000+/-. That's a 'some what' large amount of $$ too.:bsmilie::eek::sweat:

Top up another $1000 you could get a D3. I think the choice is clear if you factor in MB-D10, EN-EL-4a and charger.
 

I thought the D3 is still around $5k USD, and the D700 is set to retail for around $3k USD, thats $2000 USD ~ $3000 SGD?

But i guess those users who like to use filters for wide angle (10-12mm on DX=15-18mm on FF) may need to think twice. The 14-24 cannot fit filters right? :)

Think i saw a site where the user D.I.Y his own filter Holder for 14-24mm...:sweat:
 

Small price to pay considering the overall IQ vis-a-vis the previous wide angle primes and zooms :)

The D3 is selling for just a little over S$6k now for grey sets. :(

Just bought this lens from HK, managed to get it from Broadway (at Time Square.. ya surprised!!) cheaper than Wing Shing or Man Shing which is retailing it for HKD12900 non-neg (and yes I had a HK friend with me bargaining). About HKD12700 using credit card. All in after conversion it's slightly over 2.2k.
 

Anyone does a comparison between the following:

AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8G ED vs AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED ..... those who use both... which you guy think is a better buy in term of IQ/Price.... :dunno:

If you foresee going FX, then 14-24 is the way to go.
