p.2 #6 · p.2 #6 · Help picking Nikon Lens for Lanscape with D800 | |
I shoot landscapes with both a Canon 5D3 + 24 TSE MK II & a Nikon D800e + Zeiss 21 ZF.2. I've also rented a Nikon 14-24 to try on an old 5D2 a while back. I purchased the Zeiss at the same time I purchased the D800e - I wanted the best 20ish mm lens I could find for the D800e that would also easily accept filters (I was set up for 77 and 82 mm filter use, both screw on and Conkin system). I really love the Zeiss but I've gotta say that had the Fotodiox filter system for the 14-24 been available when I bought the D800e, I might have bought the 14-24 instead. Heck, in all honesty, I'm thinking about switching to the 14-24 plus Fotodiox filter set up. The image quality differences between the Zeiss and 14-24 seems minimal and the Nikon has a fun focal range. It'd be tough to give up the Zeiss tho. Superb IQ even in corners and even wide open, it's a joy to use and it's sorta smallish.
Good luck with your decision!
PS: if you go dual system, get yourself a good Nikon/Canon adapter so you can use all that Nikon glass on your Canons if/when necessary.
