[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 215109, member: 9240"] That "tad more wideness" is really more a factor on the DX body than I believe it ever would be on an FX. 16mm is pretty darn wide on a full sensor. On the cropped sensor, having an 18mm on my basic zoom already, it seems like a lot of money for 2mm, and it is. I would strongly recommend holding off on buying either of those if you have no intention of going FX in the not too distant future. In fact, save your money and buy it [I]with[/I] your FX body since Nikon often offers nice lens discounts when bought in combination with a new body. If you want to go wide now, get down to 8-11mm on the widest end with a good DX lens. And if you know you're going FX eventually then go as wide as you can so you have a lens that can work in a pinch down the road, even if you're [I]onl[/I][I]y [/I]getting 10-16MP's in DX mode. You're still getting the shot. [/QUOTE]
