I use my 17-35 a lot in both DX and FX...but I also use my 24-120 a lot as well. In fact when I travel, I take a 12-24 Sigma, 24-120 nikor, 300 f2.8 Nikor,, and either a 28 f2 or 50 f1.4... All are FX lenses so that I can mix and match bodies...I don't own any dx lenses.

Bro, u already know the answers ard don't u?

Just to share, i was in a similar dilenmma like u before. But i did not not hesitate in thinking too long in picking 17-35 as my UWA.

Reason being :

1. I can compromise with the loss in 14-17mm wideness and a minor minor loss in IQ comparatively among the 2. (14-24 is known to be the sharpest UWA around)

2. I need the more practival zoom range of 17-35mm, knowing that it can double up as a walk ard lens for me on FX rather than jus a UWA.

3. Filters(CPL/ND/GND) is essential and critical for me landscape pursuits in creativity opportunities.

4. Weight of 14-24 is overwhelming (IKG)

5. 14-24 is not for the timid (like me) as it can;t take on protective filters as the front elements protrude at 14mm..



U addressed that as well.. so let it go..

HTH bro

Thanks alot for your input bro! As far as the 14-24 is legendary as it is, I guess the 17-35 is a better and smarter choice for my case...

No worries bro..

If budget is a concern, u can always wait for the highly anticipated 16-35 vr f4

Absolutely! In fact right now I am in Honolulu, and its sitting on my desk...Its really not that much of a bother...When I'm walking about its slung on my shoulder or in my medium sized backpack.

Actually though the lens weigh a ton, its a swell lens nonetheless, if i m into bird photography i will definitely bring it along for travelling too..

Meaning left with 17-35 only then, but price for a new peice in Sg is pretty steep given its age (as a matter of fact, it only appreciate in age, of cos we took factors like inflation into consideration as well)

Time to save up bro~ I am enjoying this lens everytime i use it..

I dunno, if its too expensive, I'll probably just get the 14-24....I'm in for anything under 3k....

Then no prob for either one of them

Think 17-35 is abit more exp than 14-24 but still under 3K :dunno:

Oh...Btw, I read in a couple of posts before this and someone was mentioning about loaning lenses to try out before deciding to buy it....Where can I find such services in Singapore?
