[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 30386, member: 6548"] In terms of the old school Nikkors my favorite of the wide angle jobs is the 28/2.8 AIS...it is hard to beat this lens - close focus of like 1/2', super sharp at any aperture, no barrel distortion, floating elements, just a fantastic lens and you can still buy them BRAND NEW that ought to say something right there considering we are deep into the digital age nowadays. The 28/3.5 is one of the cheapest lenses you can buy and it performs pretty dang good too. The other wide I like is the 24/2.8 Basically for many of the same reasons noted above. With that being said there is a HUGE difference between 24 and 28 IMO...you just have to shoot both and figure out what you prefer. Anything under 24 is super wide angle to me and 35 is to close to standard in my book. And one can make some cool pictures at 35 no doubt. :) [/QUOTE]
