welcome to the forum. yes, the 24-70 is a magnificent lens, throughout. On the D800, yes, shines. Can't really say much for the samyang/rokinon 14mm but many people on the forum rave about it. I have a friend who sold his 14-24 and picked up a samyang. loves it.

bellyface thanks for your reply for sure i will go for 24-70. i was looking bit wide for landscape as 24-70 at 24 its not wide enough and same my budget is not wide to afford 14-24 that is the reason i was looking for Samyang.

for how cheap the 14mm is, you can't really go wrong.

Samyang 14mm for Nikon comes in the chipped and unchipped flavors.

Can focus confirm with viewfinder dot on both. However, chipped version provides EXIF data and on-camera aperture adjustments.

I have both lenses and use them on a D800e. I like the Samyang very much but you will need a good profile to sort out the distortion. But I am not so enthused by the 24-70mm. For my needs I do not feel it is up to the 36mp sensor. CA and soft edges at the wide end are a problem for me. That said, there is no alternative that is materially better, other than a set of primes which will cost even and lack the flexibility. A Zeiss 25/2 or Nikon 24/1.4 I together with a good 35mm and an Otus would tempt me though! In the meantime I would welcome an update to the 24-70.

Instead of the 14-24 you can go with 16-35, bit more than the samyang but nearly not as expensive as the 14-24 and you don't need 2.8 for landscape work.

I have the 16-35mm and that I like it very much. I've just added the 14mm, but I haven't had a chance to test it out
yet. If you buy it, I understand there is a lot of variation from copy to copy, purchasee from
a store like B&H or Adorama with a generous return policy.

That's knee slapping funny as hell. You ask about the 14 and 24-70, only to tell you bought the 16-35 and 70-200 f4's. Love them both, enjoy!

Great advice. I had the Sammy 14mm non chipped, like a dummaz I sold it. Mine was solid, very good, but some aren't.
