Me - nothing, never used this lens. Rorslett list it as a specialist purpose lens and gives it a 4 out of 5.Originally Posted by NickoHG
Ok we talked about the 14-24 and its lack of an adequate filter system for landscape work.
The 12-24 is a DX lens and its f4
For me it wont support all my cameras and I'm just not buying the best I can get ie f2.8 or better.
Remember Thom has to cater for a wide demographic - those that only want DX and will never go FX, those with lots of disposable funds to those who scrape to get a kit lens. Basically he has to recommend for "now" with what you have at the moment rathter than recommend for the future of your photographic hobby. You need to remember that your D300 will probably be replaced in a few years time so where would you be likely to go, if you suspect FX or worse don't know then an FX lens will always work but a DX lens is confined to DX bodies.

My 300mm f/4.5 is a manual focus lens, it is the only 300mm I have tried. If I had $2000 to spare, I would probably spend it on that lens if I was going to use it.

Good thought, yes possible D700 in the future so lens decisions should comply.
I really appreciate your experience and ideas with such maters, it is a steep learning curve.
