I agree. Based the comparisons I have seen on this site and getdpi they looked pretty equal.


I\'ve taken a close look at about 4 sites that assess the 18mm ZF and the 14-24 Nikkor:

http://slrlensreview.com/content/view/498/51
http://ogiroux.blogspot.com/2008/07/disappointing-update-for-zf-18mm.html
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/lenses/distagon-18mm.shtml
http://www.16-9.net

(I haven\'t yet paid Lloyd to read his reviews and can\'t find any reviews on getdpi - maybe someone can provide a link?)

Based on what I\'ve read, I\'ve concluded that the 18mm ZF isn\'t guaranteed to deliver significantly better IQ than the Canon 16-35mm, and doesn\'t compare to the 14-24 Nikkor.

Although I\'m a 5D/40D user, I\'ve been tempted to but a Nikon D700 just to be able to use the 14-24 Nikkor - but can\'t justify the expense of buying yet another body that limits fine printing to A3 (11.7×16.5 in) rather than A2 (23.4×33.1 in).
