I like the 14-24 f/2.8
The extra stop is also about the weight. More weight = more stable to hold.

My advice to you:
- Use your own ears as everybody's hearing and preferences are different.
- Try to audition as much equipment as possible to find your sound.
- Buy used to save money.
I like heavier lens too, but not heavy like 70-200 though. The Tokina 12-24mm f/4 is extremely solid lens, for me it even feels more solid than 17-35 mm Nikon pro lens. The build of that Tokina reminds me of Ai-s lenses.
Although if you want solid and heavy, nothing beats Russian lenses. Damn, with Russian lenses like Helios or Jupiter, you can probably bash a mugger to hospital and still resume shooting afterwards.

I disagree. The 14-24 in my hands is so heavy that it's considerably more unstable than the 12-24 or 17-35. It's heavy enough that I wouldn't want it on a body around my neck all day long.

Whoa, look at the design of those blades! It's so cool, curvy and it's so cool (did I say that the first time?), for some reason it looks badass to me. Stopped-down and still retain the round shape? *drool*
Hey guys and gals, quick question.
Why would someone want a full frame (35mm) CCD sensor like that found in the Nikon D3, compared to a ~1.5x crop factor CCD like that found in the D300. What are the benefits? What are the detractors?

Thanks a bunch!
Better noise, faster focus, standard film lenses are actual dimensions instead of zoomed. Generally slightly better dynamic range too.
I'm getting awfully greedy... I just picked up another speed light. The other day my manager found an SB-600 in one of the totes and said he was gonna buy it. I saw it still in the store today, adjusted the price, then had someone ring me up for it Had no time to find the accessories so I wouldn't get caught. I'll look for them tomorrow, if I can't i'll just pay the $25 or so on B&H(I just want the diffuser, pouch and stand since I already lost my SB-800s stand). Now I really need to get a D70 or better so I can have fun with the wireless flash. I've only been doing this a month and it's been costly!
