忍手兩年，係時候要升級一下
小弟用既係D90，有16-85同35.2
想入支鏡皇(忍左兩年la...)
風鏡>人像 先決，有以下選擇
14-24, 24-70, 17-55
唔排除會上FX，因為我覺得FX平民化是遲早的事，而鏡頭又係長用既，所以都想選擇一支非DX鏡(雖然17-55也在考慮列中)
小弟係滿意D90的表現，只是覺得ISO同對焦的表現有點不足，但現在買鏡皇的話，又會覺得只在於D90上，我都覺得有點浪費......(在等時機上FX...)
大家比D意見我,有點15/16，唔買唔舒服......

Radiohead Bro,

I can share some of my feeling and experience with you.

Long time ago I was using a humble D80. When I think about an upgrade due to the need of my work. I upgraded my lens.

17-55mm f/2.8

The D80 & 17-55 f/2.8 combo serve me for years and I am very happy about the image quality. Also with the new f/2.8 lens, the performance of D80 improved dramatically.

After spending sometime with the above combo, I need to move on to improve the performance to the ultimate package that Nikon offered. And then I have decided to move onto the D700 & 24-70mm f/2.8. This upgrade is for my working purpose as well.



The FF world is a BIG NEW CREATIVE DOOR to my photography. It changed all the concept that I was using before. Also the FF sensitive sensor require much better optics. So before you move onto the FF. You gotta make sure you don't use cheap lens on the body. Coz you will see any lens flawless (if any) on the image.



While I expanding my business and for the wedding needs, I eventually using the D3s now and this is the fastest camera ever.




In terms of the difference between 17-55 2.8 & 24-70 2.8. They can say that they are two very very similar lens in terms of the build and photo quality. They are just the top model for DX & FX.

So you won't go wrong with either one of them. You just need to decide if you are moving on to the FX body later on. btw, 24-70 on a DX body, you will lost the wide end of the lens.

Cheers,
Piero

thx Piero兄，我英文唔好，只能看不能寫......我用中文回覆好了
我是明白你所講的意思，17-55基本上是DX版的24-70，所以我都知道自己意向是上FX的，好同意你的一句，"a BIG NEW CREATIVE DOOR"，因為試過才知道他的利害，只是時機問題，他朝一日，必上FX的。

所以我想就自已的現有的器材上作出最適合的升級路線
雖然17-55是考慮列中，但我明白有心上FX的話，是浪費金錢，走了一個圈子，所以只係考慮而已
而我自己覺得，是否應該選擇24-70比較合理，雖在DX會lost the wide，但我手頭還有一支16-85，wide end方面還是不錯的，所以在上FX前還是有這支16-85"頂住先"
但14-24呢?因為我主要是風景為主，14-24質素上我想是沒有"怨言"，言而有一定的機會影人像，我也有一支35 2.0，加上我喜歡影有立體感的人像照，14-24還不錯吧(應該?)。
其實兩支都合我的要求，兩支也是超水準的鏡頭，就是要二選一時就有點難取寫...

You are right!!!

I am not saying the 17-55 is not a good lens, in fact it is the BEST DX lens available ... But if you are planning to move to FX later on, then 24-70 is a better choice, as you can always use the lens in both DX & FX body.

About the ultra wide option, I will suggest you go for the 14-24. Just based on the same reason, 14-24 is the best optic by the Nikon technology. You won't find anything better than that in terms of the quality.

Very good control on the distortion and colour fringing, which is normally see in the ultra-wide lens.

If you are using some "not so good" lens on FX body, all the little imperfection on the lens will be amplified.

For lens, you always wanna get the best available for your budget.

Camera body will have a full update every couple of years, but a good lens last for decades.

Cheers,
Piero

[radiohead1]

真的很多謝Piero的意見
如果為未來著想的話，確實24-70是best choice，無論焦段或是用途都比較廣(雖然還是會比14-24的質素所吸引)

鏡頭方面，我也偏向(開始)一步到位，始終是長用。body方面，等，等到D700後繼才決定

是時候決擇了......14-24/24-70...(已經想了很久...現在還沒決定)

題外話，Piero也是radiohead的fans嗎?

[pierokwong]

of course 24-70 is your first lens between the two.

you need to remember the 24-70 is the normal lens range.

But the 14-24 is a specialty lens. What it means is the 14-24 is a special Ultra-wide lens. You can even put on a filter ... that means you really need to pay extreme care while using the lens, coz you dont' wanna scratch the front element (glass) of the lens

If you like to take portrait for people, the 14-24 is not a easy lens to us and if you don't it properly, you will have distortion on people. But on the other hand, once you managed the technique, people may look taller with that.

So my suggestion is you should go for the 24-70 first, and then 14-24 when you more fund to go for a 2nd lens.

In terms of photo quality, they are both great lens!!!

Cheers,
Piero

[pierokwong]

oh ... btw, I like Radiohead when I was young =p

[pierokwong]

more correction ....

you CAN"T use filter on the 14-24 ...

sorry about my typo

[radiohead1]

還是為未來著想，今天24-70入手
相信是最正確的選擇
14-24，還是遲一點再想，不能用filter的確是個大問題(加上我用機很粗老...)
thank you Piero~~

[pierokwong]

Pigpig2000 bro, It's a pity that the D80 & 17-55 2.8 is no longer with me now. I have given it to my brother in HK.
