Dear all,
It's been a couple years since I was active on this forum, I guess work sort of took over my life.
I apologize in advance for a couple things, I know it's annoying to have inactive people pop in and ask "which lens should I buy." I did do a search but I kept getting "no results found" which surprises me, so evidently I'm doing something wrong.
Anyway, here goes.
I have a D700 and most of the time I use my 24-85 lens. (I feel slightly ashamed that my favorite lens is a mid-range zoom, but there you have it!) It stays on the camera all the time. I also have two 50s, 70-300, a 105D, and an older 18-35D lens that I used on my F100 when I shot film. It's never been on my D700, I think I just got out of the habit of using it when I still had my D70. I am thinking about selling it and getting something newer that will be better for the D700 and beyond.
This summer we are taking a trip to Glacier, and I'm thinking about picking up something new for the trip. I'm debating between the 16-35mm and the 20mm prime. I'm not sure how much difference 20mm would give me in terms of width, but the 16-35 also overlaps a lens I already have, so I'm sort of at an impasse with myself.
(Part of me has always wanted to be one of those shooters that only shoots primes, but they're not as small, compact, or light as they used to be!)
Anyway, any advice regarding image quality of these two lenses and their general usability would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
