I’ve never really owned a good 24-70 range zoom, i used to have a 17-35 and miss it at times.
I’ve always been the one that thought, I have the range covered with fast primes, so it’s not needed.
And usually that’s true, yesterday we went to the zoo so I brought my 70-200, 80-400 and a couple primes
28/50/85
I never once took my 80-400 out of the bag, it was getting later and 5.6 wouldn’t cut it.
I put my 1.4x on my 200 a few times but noticed i was taking it off to get the speed, or because it was too long.
Even bare it was too long a lot. I couldn’t take a animal pic, turn around and get a fam pick without needing to dig in the bag and get a prime out.
Anyway, this got me to thinking i would have been happier on this day with a 24(28 etc)-70 2.8
I have a 24-120, that’s normally decent for snap shots stopped down but I didn’t even bring it, would have been slow anyway.
Anyone ever buy a 24-70 2.8, after owning all the good prime in that range and regret getting one never using it?
I know most people say it should be your first one, but I’ve never really needed it, or thought i didn’t. Swapping primes is normally fine, but chasing a kid around i didn’t want to be jacking with swapping lenses around non stop.
I sold the 17-35 way back when to buy the 17-55vr for dx, but never did and shot ff again anyway now.
So the conundrum, get another 17-35 or 20-35, or a 24-70 and hope I use them.
Anyway sorry for the rant, just thinking out loud. I fear if i get one it won’t get much use. But maybe it would and I wouldn’t use my primes as much anymore for that range?? | Wanted
