I have a 20mm f/2.8D on my 7100 about 90% of the time. I prefer the 30-35mm FF eq. view for most of what I do...
I've been shopping for an upgrade, and ruled out all the zooms, primarily bc they're too heavy and I end up leaving the camera at home.
Problem is, the pictures I take with my 50mm f/1.4G are just so much nicer than with the older lens, and of course the lens is quieter and relatively lighter. 50mm is too close on a DX body for general work, as is the 35mm DX.
I'm looking at the 24mm f/1.8G as a new walk around. Its a new lens, so it seems impossible to get for under $600-700. And, its oddly long for a WA lens.
Does anyone have any other thoughts or suggestions? Should I just save up and buy it?
Will Nikon ever release a DX f/1.8 prime that's wider than the 35mm? A 20 or 24mm DX prime would really make my day...
