I'll start phasing it in, and I really liked that it came with a custom belt bag -- YEA!!!!1  that is exactly how I will shoot,, I can see going out with the 14-24,,the 35-70and the 18x200 on my little camel bag on my back,, can easily swap out the 34-70,, by tossing it in the 14-24 belt bag,,, Yes I will have a slight gap,, but who cares,, can move a bit with the feet if neccessary,,oh,, what about the holy trinity,,interesting question,,so, do I sell for example my 20-3535x70  for a 24-70 2.8,, mmm maybe someday,, but for now,, no. now,, looking forward for some ultra wide pictures !!!!  (besides using my 15mm 3.5).  I am going to the Dayton Air Museum maybe, oh,, the 14-24 will be great there.</blockquote>
