[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 47507, member: 6351"] Great posts by Rick and Glenn - very good advice. I'm not a big wide angle guy at all. I find that the 24-70 2.8 is plenty wide enough for me and I'm sure I'd find all the lenses you've mentioned getting limited use. My 24-70 doesn't come off my D700 too often! :) (oops. I just noticed that you are talking about a DX body - in that case I'd go for the 17-55 2.8 which I also own and love on my D7000!) If you were set on going wider and choosing between the 17-35, 12-24 or the 16-35 I'd agree with Glenn and got with the 16-35. I would NOT buy a $1,300 lens that squeaked for any reason - especially during focusing! :) [/QUOTE]
