[QUOTE="stmv, post: 220463, member: 10038"] wow, lots of comments on this, well, I went thru the exact same process,, if you look at my blog.. you see me mull thru the decision points.. The 16-35 is a wonderful lens,, but,, I noticed significant distortion on the wide end,, and well, that is exactly where I want the lens, I ended up,, selling stuff, saving money,, and,,, you guessed it,, I got the 14-24,, I guess, i am just getting tired of compromising and would rather sell stuff, and wait,, then compromise anymore. is the 14x24 heavy,, no, not really, and balances perfect, the sun screens protects the lens,, and I am already used to shooting with my 15 mm 3.5 that has a curved front,, and after 10 years, never had an issue.. The lens produces the sharpness as expected, and as long as you hold the lens vertical (just like my 15mm),, you can keep the distortion under control. and, if you like,, tilt,, and you can have fun creating distortion,, but again, you are in control. The price difference is about 700 dollars, and you loose filters! well easy filters. but,, choice is always yours. [/QUOTE]
