[QUOTE="Skytalker, post: 175267, member: 15613"] 14-24 is miles away from the rest. You dont need to shoot it at F2.8 but at F4 is razor sharp from center to corner, even better than most of the primes. 16-35, one of the most overrated lenses, is soft wide open in the corners at F4 where the 14-24 shines. 16-35 is a very good solution for day to day shooting but not necessarily for landscape where you want center corner sharpness. There are other combinations: [LIST] [*]Nikon 12-24 [*]Nikon 10-24 [*]Sigma 10-20 the F/3.5, inclusive [*]Tokina 12-24 [*]Tokina 11-16 [*]Samyang 14mm [*]Tamron 10-24 [*]Sigma 8-16 f/4.5-5.6 [/LIST] Probably the best IQ and adequate focal length has the Nikon 10-24. The best buck for money would be the tokina 12-24. The tokina 11-16 very good lens but the focal length of 16 mm for me it was too limiting. When I faced this situation I went for the Nikon 12-24. No way it is like the 14-24 but it has a very well controlled flare and chromatic aberrations.It provides you with a good IQ. Hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
