Thinking about something in a 14-24/2.8 size-

You know I'm not happy unless I'm buying & selling something-

 

Those rumors were around when I bought it. ; But I still would not mind if they were true- I would love an updated version.

 

There is no way a new wide prime from Nikon is going to be anything but crazy expensive anyway. ; I cant believe the new 70-200vr is $2400- (I can't believe I want one...)

 

50mm is sold-

UWA is on Ebay-

If I had a full frame Nikon, I'd be all over it. ; Good luck with the listing.

 

Thanks Tom-

Buying- selling- now chasing a 14-24

All your fault of course- that UWA thread over on that other board- pure evil-

 

I think it would be a tough call for me between the Sigma and the Nikon. ; Sure, everyone gushes over the 14-24, so it's the obvious choice, but there is the issue of money (it doesn't grow on trees in my neighborhood; since you're selling gear to pay for it and/or justify it to your wife I would imagine it's the same way down there) but the other issue is those 2mm. ; I like really REALLY wide shots.

I know you've pointed out a number of issues with the Sigma, so I'm not saying it's on the same plane as the Nikkor, I'm just saying what would/will likely go through my mind if/when I contemplate the same decision. ; If/when I do go full frame, a wide angle lens would/will be the first lens I purchase.

 

I dunno- I also read the Sigma 50/1.4 is actually 45mm too. ; I might have them both next weekend before I ship off the Sigma- maybe I'll do a quick test. ;
