Well.......It's only been half a day but I'm leaning toward the 35......the 24 is as you know a freaky good lens but I also have the 14-24....there would be too much cash tied up in both so the 24 might go to the B&S. I also have a Fuji X100 on pre-order so that focal length would be covered again......I don't know. 35mm is just a nice all around focal length for me.
Isn't the X100 a 35mm equivalent (i.e., 23mm DX format)? Seems like the 24 1.4 would make more sense to keep if you're gonna have the X100.

Great shot corposant. Did you try any long exposures there?
Thanks - I have a series up on the Landscape forum that illustrates how quickly the weather/clouds were changing, so I think some LE work would have either been amazing or just strange. I plan on going back a few more times this winter with some different equipment (and a heavier jacket), so if it's in the cards, I'll show it here.
Thank you! I had been wanting to capture that warm desk lamp light and finally got around to it. Not the composition I had in mind since I don't have a 35mm but I made do.
How do you like the 24? I think that would a really fun lens to use. Very unique combo of attributes.
Nikon D300s + 135mm f/2 DC using the defocus control fully on R at f/2. Combined with a masked shot of just the sharp parts of the flower at f/3.2 with DC neutral. Lit with 2 Vivitar 285hv flashes.

It's beautiful. I had an ideal situation to use it yesterday, and it worked out well. It remains the last thing I very much want to acquire. I'd like to get a 14/2.8, but the Sigma version is readily available and is also rather inexpensive. The 24/1.4 is out of my reach for the time being. The only other lens I'd like to acquire is a macro, probably the Tokina 100/2.8.
The 24/1.4 is many levels above either one for me, though.
. I should have mentioned that he made the shot.
