[QUOTE="Corey @ Faymus Media, post: 110320, member: 12053"] So far I love the suggestions. I really like the 24-70 i Just dont like how soft it is in the corners at 2.8, i have to stop it down to 4, or 5.6 to fix that and at 24mm there is still barrel distortion however i guess in the bright summer afternoons while shooting weddings that wont be an issue. What I can say, is the Tokina 16-28mm is FANTASTIC! It has less distortion than that of the nikon 14-24. The 14-24 seemed to perform great between 18-24, and the tokina performs great all through. The Tokina people (a group of Nikon optical engineers who left Nippon Kogaku, or Nikon, to form their own lens company; sort of a true return to the original roots of Nippon Kogaku) have had some good lenses also, mainly in their ATX series. So Tokina should actually be the best of the third party lenses, or are they really "Third" party lol [/QUOTE]
