[QUOTE="Retro, post: 421536, member: 37517"] My OP was about the expensive and so-called pro lenses, 14 - 24mm, 24 - 70mm, and 70 - 200mm, with more refined f-stops, vs. the cheaper, more versatile zooms, such as the 24 - 120mm lenses, with less restrictive f-stops, and you said you won't own mediocre glass. I wasn't referring to a cheap Sigma. Someone new to photography, with a lot of money to spend, will go for a lens that offers the most freedom, and not understand the difference in lenses. As another member here recently said: "...[SIZE=3][FONT=arial]but if I see a "semi/pro" shooting with a DX camera, I lose respect for them. sorry, but I feel that if you're a semi/pro, you should be using FX cameras. and it goes without saying no variable aperture lenses. Im still on the fence on how I feel about F/4 gear. but its not leaning towards positive." When looking through the list of Nikkor lenses, it seemed that the line drawn in the above quote was between the lenses I asked about. I asked because I want to know more about this kind of preference, and whether I might agree with it. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
