I know what you are trying to tell me which is why I do not use my Nikon 16-35mm f4 VR lens for group shots except on certain focal lengths where I find it ok.In reference to your #5 post, let me give you a real life scenario. Imagine you are in a tight room such as an apartment. Both photographers were given a 24mm f2.8 D prime lenses. The FX can take up to say 8 to 10 people standing side by side where the DX shooter will not be able to do the same unless you go extremely wider. IT is the wider FL that I avoid because of the distortion. What I am trying to point out to you 480sparky, like what I mentioned on my #23 post if you read it carefully, the advantage of the FX is that the DX cannot accomplish an acceptable image (to my eye) unless you use an ultra wide angle lens which in result can cause distorted faces. 24mm is the widest that I would go with people or group shots. To be clear, a DX camera can achieve a similar shot but you need to use an UWA lens but my preference is not to use anything wider than 24mm. If you can show me an image with undistorted group shot using the lenses that you've just mentioned then maybe my previous experiments were flawed. Otherwise, my FX camera using a 24mm as the widest end will remain as my method of taking group shots.</blockquote>
