[QUOTE="Gladiator, post: 7310, member: 761"] I know I'm just venting but... But I'm not rich, having just bought a D700 (got a great deal) and now I'm looking for an extreme wide angle zoom (not fisheye) to go with it. Since i shoot a lot of landscapes. Of course i cannot afford the 14-24mm f/2.8 IF ED $1750, so what does that leave me with? a BIG FAT NOTHING!!! DX users have the: Nikon 10-24mm AF-S f/3.5-4.5 G ED (DX) Nikon 12-24mm AF-S f/4 (DX) Tokina 11-16mm IF (DX) Tokina 12-24 F/4 AF AT-X PRO (DX) II Nikon 18-200mm VR and VRII (DX) Are you starting to see a pattern here? Plus most of them are at a very reasonable price = less than 1000$ SO what I've learned by buying a full-frame body... Nikon thinks we're all press photographers not paying for lenses and we're limited in lenses unless we go old school and we chase discontinued ones on eBay?!?! I'm all for quality but DX looks pretty much appealing right now. Or that I should have bought a Canon 5D for half the D700's price, along with a 10-22mm zoom that blows everything else out of the water, including Nikon's 14-24mm (sorry Nikon) [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][COLOR=#0000ff][B][SIZE=+1] [/SIZE][/B][/COLOR][/FONT] My question is what's out there that will match full-frame quality, until i sell my first born and buy the 14-24mm? And no i don't consider 28mm extreme wide angle... Thanks for all tips and criticism lol [/QUOTE]
