16-35 vs 14-24
- Thread starter Marcel
- Start date
Yes Rick, I do the same. And, if I had wanted to frame the shot like with the 14-24 I could have backed up a few steps and I would have covered the same framing. It's when you're working inside that the extra 2mm can become really handy.

Same here, which is why I wanted the extra 2mm. Who knows, maybe like Marcel I'll one day be awash in ultrawides? We all need someone to look up to!! 
I did a lot of pondering, thinking about what I did and didn't like about each, and moreso what I wanted and didn't want. Ultimately, the ability to stick a high value ND filter on there and do long daylight exposures without trying to figure out how else to make that happen has me willing to give it a go. Then went to B&H and saw that it was $150 cheaper than Amazon (who is usually right there with them). And then I remembered I had close to $60 in B&H dollars. I just hope they shop mine out first, Ted.
And yes, Marcel, it's your fault. LOL
Mine is on its way and should be delivered on Friday!

Mine will be on the doorstep today. Unfortunately, I won't have time to play with it until the weekend, so I guess we're even.

That's it. I gotta move.

Or you could pay for overnight shipping. You could buy a lot of stuff and still not make up the difference in NJ property taxes.

That's what you thing, Marcel.
Never thought to put VR on a wide angle, but I'm shooting tack sharp at 1/4 sec. and 16mm. Nothing but a dark and messy desk with papers and small print I can read - unworthy of sharing but it's worth mentioning. Digging it. Just wish I could get out with it. Alas, I have a memorial service and funeral over the next two days. It'll make for a nice recovery come Friday.

Ah come on Jake, you should share it with Ted…

The VR is quiet impressive, it is the lens I use most of the time.
Well, I think Jake is going to have to fill you in on this one. I'm hoping mine doesn't show up until next week. *

* Reverse psychology is a technique involving the advocacy of a belief or behavior that is opposite to the one desired, with the expectation that this approach will encourage the subject of the persuasion to do what actually is desired: the opposite of what is suggested. This technique relies on the psychological phenomenon of reactance, in which a person has a negative emotional response in reaction to being persuaded, and thus chooses the option which is being advocated against. :uncomfortableness:

OK, Ted, I'm giving you until about 1PM ET to get your box, then I'm off work for the afternoon and out with the camera.

Thanks for the consideration, but UPS delivers very late in the afternoon (4-7pm), so I'll just have to enjoy it vicariously through your report. Have fun!

I found mine on my doorstep when I went out to get the mail. Here they may deliver early, but they don't ring the bell.
