oi, I though Canon users were banned from this forum ?
and where is your Canon 14-24 by the way ?
Now where did I put my fishing rod?Originally Posted by Clubmanmc
Does that mean that Canon have a 14-24 2.8 in the pipeline to "catch up" to Nikon with?

bit of a one trick pony that one eh
that depends, one might prefer to play with the plethora of telephoto lenses and prime lenses and tilt-shift lenses of that other side, than just the 14-24

We just dont muck about with 100 different versions of say a 70-200 JM. Get it right once.
oh right u mean the one that isnt really that great on FX compared to when it was king on DX? And Nikon had to release the VRII model to improve for FX sensors? Ah yes, THAT one, get it right first time indeedy
yeah my 16-35 F2.8 is just soooooo not versatile... i wish it was 14 - 24mm instead...Now where did I put my fishing rod?

Well, that's a bit rough, the 70-200 was in production well before FX, and at least all of our lenses mount to DX and FXoh right u mean the one that isnt really that great on FX compared to when it was king on DX?

New ones don't look bad at all.

Now to hear the prices.
$2200 usd for the 24mm f/1.4
i guess that keeps up the rediculous the resale value on the 28 f/1.4
Thanks,

"The versatile, wide angle AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR is scheduled to be available in late February 2010 at Nikon Authorized Dealers with an estimated selling price of $1259.95*. The ultra-fast AF-S NIKKOR 24mm f/1.4 G ED lens will be available in late March 2010 for estimated selling price of $2199.95*"
the 16-35mm f/4G ED VR look very cool, i hope canon replies with one
but the 24mm looks a little over priced, unless that's AUD? then just a little more than the canon

Apart from the VR, I wonder how it will stack up against the Nikon 17-35
the new lens thumps the old one at the both ends and should be sharper in the corners too

Yeah, but in it's defense you have to remember the 17-35 is measured/rated at f/2.8 and the new lens is at f/4.the new lens thumps the old one at the both ends and should be sharper in the corners too
16-35 VR
17-35
I can imagine tho, that once you stop them both down to f/8 - f/16 the 17-35 will look better.
New lenses all seem to be optimised to produce sparkling results at the widest aperture, and somehow seem to diminish as the aperture decreases in size.
If the price is right tho, and it comes in at approx $1300, the resale value of the 17-35 is basically going to crash into a heap.
Why would you bother with it when the newer lens(obviously the implied replacement for it) is going to be much cheaper and has VRII!!??
I'm off to check Nikons MTF chart for the 24/1.4 .. at that price it bloody well has to be their best fast lens ever!

Quote from a head honcho on a Japanese looking website recently had him saying that there are "a few fast primes on the way this year".
It was too cryptographic for me to understand, but the chap that translated the webpage explained it that way.
many still as yet too old primes in their lineup, and the obvious one is the 85/1.4 with AF-S AND VR. At the right price(less than $2K) that'll be a bigger seller than the 24/1.4 will be.
ps.I couldn't resist, and had to check the MTF chart on the 24/1.4 too, and it looks very good too. Slightly better than the 24/2.8 AF-D lens currently available(at 2 stops wider aperture mind you!)
pps. mind you, your deep love of Nikon has to be measured as a proportion to the level of care in emptying your bank account too... as an inverse of course
sorry I have trouble containing myself when I hear about a new lenses. Especially these kinds.Down boy!.... they still have a long way to go yet!
