Haha! The 14-24 is the king. Ilya bought that junky 16-35.

I'm curious to see how the 14-24 does. It will be here tomorrow.

Hehe! Jk. The 16-35 VR is a good lens when compared to the Canon equivalent.

The extra 11mm and VR for interior makes a difference for a walkaround

Enjoy it!! It's a really nice lens

The VR is great on that short focal length because you can hand hold it at silly low shutter speeds. If the 14-24 doesn't impress me, I'll likely sell it and consider another 16-35.

It will impress you big time. I know I was! The 2.8 vs f4 helps a lot too! Even tho it's irrevelant for landscapes.

14-24 is amazing. I've only used mine for some trying it out photos, I should get it out more often.

Ilya has been banned until May 13th for being stupid. He asked me to tell all the Nikon users.

Come on, guys. You're spending so much time on gear. Post some photos.

Anyways, I finally updated my cameras. The firmware is definitely an improvement. Especially, when using LV. GO NIKON!!

Just found this, AF-S appears to have improved

77mm filters also fit into a bag a helluva lot better than the monstrosity required to make 'em work right on the 14-24mm. And you can throw the filters in your pocket when you are usin' them (that what I usually do). The 14-24mm is awesome, though, that's for sure. And there's work arounds for the filters if you have room in your bag, or you can black card it or something if really needed, I suppose. Or use exposure averaging instead of ND, if I would have known how well that worked I might have said screw it and got the 14-24mm, instead. But pain to use in cases where you wanted an ND500. Eh. The new 18-35mm seems good, too. You really can't go wrong with Nikon wide angles. There's some little voice in my head that sometimes tells me to sell the 16-35mm and get a Sigma 12-24mm II, for the lolz. Maybe I will someday. lol.

And MikeFairbanks: I would but it's been raining. Non stop. /sigh. It's like I'm still in southeast Alaska, I feel so at home. ^_^
