Dear bros, which of the above would make more sense as a long term investment? While still keeping the 18-105 as a zoom lens.
24mm f1.4.. this is the sharpest 24mm nikkor lens current in the market much sharper then the trinity..
If you don't intend to change to FX in near future, I strongly advise you to get the Nikon 35mm f1.8 DX and Sigma 20/24/28mm f1.8 instead. They are really value for money for DX setup.
Every time I see someone asks whether to buy an expensive FX lens to use on DX bodies, for example a 24mm f1.4 or 24-70 f2.8, I wondered why don't just use the money to buy a D700 + other cheaper lenses like 35mm f2, 50mm f1.4/f1.8, 85mm f1.8, Sigma 20/24/28mm f1.8 or Tamron 28-75mm. In this way, one can start enjoying the benefits of full frame.
May be a lot of ppl will disagree, but that's my 2 cts
