[QUOTE="gqtuazon, post: 78229, member: 6573"] Rick - The 20mm f2.8D is a little too soft for my taste. The 24mm f2.8D was ok but I no longer have that lens since I've sold it already. I used it with my D700 before but I dislike changing lenses out on the field which is why I prefer zoom lenses.

I still have a Nikon 20-35mm f2.8D and it doesn't even come close with the newer zoom lenses that I have. The Nikon 28mm f1.8G does have a focus shift and my copy is pretty darn sharp.
