I was at the new Toronto aquarium and used my Nikon 50mm 1.4D, got nice shots but I really needed a fast zoom lens.
A used Nikon 24-70mm 2.8 I see goes for around 1400$ and new 1600$ so it makes no sence to get a used lens if the difference is 200$
I found the Nikon 28-70mm 2.8 used goes for around 700$-900$ used.
I know both lenses are good but if the 24-70mm 2.8 worth the extra bucks ?
Not sure if the 28-70mm has the internal silance wave motor but it makes no differenace as I have the Nikon D7100 so I have the in body AF motor.
So oh wise fellow TPF please tell me what you are thinking of both lenses.
1.Is the 24-70 much better then the older 28-70 ?
2.Is it sharper ?
3.Is it worth the huge price difference ?
4.What about weight difference ?
5.Which has a better bokeh ?
I did consider third party lenses but I read the Sigma 24-70mm 2.8 isnt so sharp and the Tamron 24.70mm 2.8 is the fabolous lens but the chances of getting a lemon is scarying me because I heard too many scary stories on this lens and hit and miss on it.
Please add any more info you think might help me decide
