Nikon FX walk about lens

[thenomad]

for lightweight walk-around lens, you can't go wrong with 50mm f/1.4. if you prefer zooms, the new 24-120VRII is also a good choice

Second that, I just return from a trip to China, Xian. The 50mm f1.4D is the only lens that I bring along. It works beautifully especially in the dim display hall of the Terracotta Museum:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8 or Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8 or Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8.......900g compare to prime lens is heavy but compare to our sar21, this is nothing. lol. this is a pro lens, one of the best zoom lens optically.

Can not compare like that:nono:, we are given no choice with the SAR21, in the army how to choose:cry:? Personally for me, once I have experience the joy of travelling light with Prime Lens, I find it hard to travel with heavy lens again especially if the image quality is not sacrificed.
However I still have mine zoom for those less labourious trips.

me will likely hoot the new 24-120 F4 VRII as my next travelling len, current using tamron 28-300VC ....but image is good enough at least for me but not wide enough only

Yes, only 1 50mm f1.4D for mine trip to Xian and I did not miss mine zoom at all. Xian is a great place to visit, may return during winter to capture the city covered in thick snow.

Just got back from a trip to Tokyo... 3/4 of the time the 24 f1.4 was used, followed by the 17-35 f2.8 as my walk about lens. It is more than enough in my opinion to cover various lighting conditions. If you ask me to choose one, it will be the 24 f1.4.

 

[Numnumball]

Sold my 14-24 to numnumball n got me d 16-35. Feeling immediate relief to my neck. Now it reads like 16-35, 28-300, 50/1.4... Quite complete i guess. Now its time to take them for a shootout! BTW, nice to meet up w you Bro numnumball!

Yeah... Tks man... Nice knowing u too

And I m loving the insane view of this 14-24..

It compliment the 16-35 really well...

 

[Numnumball]

For me now will be 14-24, 50 1.2 and 135 DC for general walk abt

Same same during my recent china trip.. the 24mm f1.4 got 3/4 of time and the rest I hook up the 17-50 f2.8. if I need to go wider or nearer.

14-24 is a very sweet uwa lens. Good for you having it !

IMHO, between 50mm and 135mm there is quite focal length difference. Need a new lens to fill the gap.

Nah.. got the AFD 85 1.4 as well, will switch and go sometimes.. but prefer the longer focal length of 135

 

[Ferderico]

for me, i dont mind slightly heavier for a sharp lens...

i always carry my 24-70 F2.8 ard... of cos, i still have my 50mm F1.8 if i am travelling to a place where i dont want to stick out like a sore thumb.

For me, the 24-70 goes everywhere, coupled with a 20mm (if I need to go wider) and 35mm prime (in places which require more discretion) in my bag.
