I think you should buy the new 24mm f1.4 lens for your use - I have played with it and it is sensational, but I just do not use wide angles enough to justify the purchase, I find the 16-35 f4 and 24-120 f4 more than adequate as general purpose lenses and for my street shooting. My money goes into the best telephotos! http://www.nikon.com.sg/productitem.php?pid=1370-5835c04823 http://www.pixiq.com/article/fast-wide-and-handsome http://diglloyd.com/articles/LensesNikon/Nikon-24f1_4G.html Cheers Jayanand On Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 1:20 AM, philippe.amard <philippe.amard at sfr.fr>wrote: > > Le 14 mars 11 ? 17:54, Jayanand Govindaraj a ?crit : > > > >> Philippe, >> If this is from the 24-120 as well, it is not a bad performer at all! >> > > It was the only lens I took over Jayanand. > The lens is not as sharp as what I'm used to using, far from it - the > D-Elmarit 28-100 fares way better on the L1 for instance, and neither can > compare with a 24 Elmarit or a 50 cron ... > The main issue is barrel and pincushion, which does not show much in this > sort of take. > I'm about to get a 24 or 28 and a 50 prime; the conversions I made of my > Leicas are not that satisfactory in terms of usability even though the cron > 50 performs outstandingly well. > > Thanks again > Philippe > > > > > Cheers >> Jayanand >> >> On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 5:36 PM, philippe.amard <philippe.amard at sfr.fr >> >wrote: >> >> >>> >>> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Phileica/London+2011/LDN-Covent+Garden+Market-0712.jpg.html >>> Can be viewed larger as usual. >>> >>> C&C welcome, but it goes without saying. >>> >>> Bien cordialement de Metz >>> Philippe >>> >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Leica Users Group. >>> See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >>> >>> >> _______________________________________________ >> Leica Users Group. >> See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >> >> > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information >
