I accidentally just dropped way too much money on a 24-70 L
AWESOME!!!!! Sweet lens for sure, especially on FF too.
My girlfriend bought a Nikon D90 last week. I know nothing about cameras but it seems pretty cool from what I've seen.
again, AWESOME!!!
I know the feeling. My wife has her eye on this:
Phenomenal lens, i'm hoping nikon makes theAF-S one of that or the 1.8 soon though.
I've been looking into getting the Panasonic 7-14 f/4. I can get it off employee discount now, and it's only $700.
So on my GF1, it's the equiv. of a 14-28, and it can fit in the palm of your hand, and i used one in a shop compared it to the nikon 14-24, and the 7-14 was **** near almost as sharp!!!
Here's a rough size comparison between the 7-14, nikon 24-70, and the 14-24:
So if you were out causally shooting, or on a day hike, what would you rather carry? Nikon D700 with the 14-24 (smallest FF super wide zoom option, quality that cannot be beat), or a Panasonic GF1 with the 7-14 (combined, about the size of the 14-24 by itself, yet still lighter (by over 15 ounces), and basically as sharp. it's only a stop slower.)
HMMM.......
THIS is why micro 4/3rds is revolutionary and will really just explode within the next 5 years if Canon and Nikon don't get off their asses and make APS-C mirrorless bodies.
