I don't think u can resist the countless poisons here, will be posting some 85 1.4g on FX asap

I prefer 16-35 as walk around, reasons below

1. Wideangle is always better for walkaround
2. Got VR, can handheld at really low speed
3. Lighter and cheaper than 24-70

So far no regret dumping 24-70 for 16-35, i have my 85 1.4g and 70-200vr2 for longer range

The 85 1.4g is really awesomeeee

Mostly around 10% off, if 50% off then sure it's a 5 years old model

Can, just buy wireless triggers

Maybe mine was a good copy, those are all taken without flash + high ISO ... I would not take the 1.4g over the Sigma ( Well that's just me )

HIgh iso will make the images look grainy , dun forget mine is on FX.. General_nic's sigma seems very soft to me

Mine was shot wide open @ 1.4, It might not be as sharp as the G lens but it's definitely sharp for my eyes

Testing 1 more, celciuz requested

Get yourself one la, I also can't resist the poison and bought one

Topping up 3k for 85g is not a bit, it's a lot to me lol

Heh that's 50 f/1.4 sigma lol, anyway i have posted one sample of 16-35 and 85 1.4g few pages back, kindly check there to poison yourself

Yup the wedding pics, go visit my flickr if u want more poisons

Standard price lor, streetboy also got the same price

Why bother with that lens since the 16-35 F/4 is sharper, lighter with VR and most of all cheaper?

17-55 i can't use since i am on FX so didn't bother comparing, 16-35 is weather sealed, now all my nikkors are weather sealed

Which part of the tamron that u are not satisfied? If i were u i will get other lens before upgrading my present equipment, at least I get to try other focal lenght.. What happened to your 70-200vr2

Invest these lenses, sure won't regret
