Tell me about these Nikkor lenses!

I found someone who is selling both these lenses; Nikon 24-70mm and 14-24mm f2.8 lens - for $1600 each. I just ordered a new D700...good match to go with my 70-200 vri?

 

[ghache]

is that a real question ?

The smartest thing you can do it buy those 2 lens to pair with your 70-200.

lol, thanks!

Get a 24mm prime and a 50mm then go to the GYM get on the running machine.

There you go that is your 14-24 and 24-70.

i would just get the 24-70. maybe im biased against the wide angles.

14-24 is a very wide lens, more as a specialty than anything and you won't use it much.

If you have the dough get both, but if you have a choice, get the 24-70.

14-24 wont take filters so its a deal breaker for me.

Good info. I'll focus on the 24-70, no pun intended

they are right, snap that 24-70 ASAP

so $1600 is a decent price for a lightly used example?

 

[ghache]

for a really lightly used with no mark or whatever its not a bad price. lens is 1869 + taxe on bh right now

Walmart has them on sale for $1869 (tax included) delivered. Contemplating the extra $269 for piece of mind?

I have never had to submit any Nikon gear I have bought, new or used, for work that would have been covered by a warranty.

I did once have to have a camera body repaired because of impact damage.

So, it's been years since I have bought any new Nikon gear, and always buy used (no warranty) gear instead.

That is 10 camera bodies and about 16 lenses in the last 5 years. The money I have saved by buying used will more than makeup for any future repair I have to pay for out-of-pocket that a warranty may have covered.

hurm, i would try to get it down a few 100s for the only reason warranty is not transferable. for 269 extra just get it new.

I like to peek at ebay too to find out what a "friend's item" or a craiglist find is typically selling for on the used market.
