[QUOTE="hark, post: 512835, member: 13196"] I'm shocked that Bill didn't jump on this comment! ;) Out of the 3 zoom lenses I own (wide, normal, and tele), I use the 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G the least. In all honesty, I think you'd use the 24-70mm more frequently than a wide angle zoom. And there are times I want an outdoor shot where I need to use my telephoto zoom. An example is when there is a large body of water between me and the trees on the opposite side of its banks. So the 18-35mm isn't fully weather sealed. Either use a rain jacket over the camera/lens combo, or leave the wide angle zoom home and take other lenses. Think of the money you'd save as well as having the benefit of using screw-on front filters. Since I don't want to hijack Marcel's 365-thread, if you have a response, Bill, would you do it in one of your own?
