Re: Help me talk this out - 24 f/1.4 vs 24-70 f/2.8
If it's not that much different than your Sigma 18-50, why not keep the 24? Another way to look at it is this: you can have 18-50 + 24mm or 18-50 + 24-70. I'd go with the 24mm f/1.4. It lets in 4 times as much light as the 24-70. Unless you feel that the 24-70 is way better than your 18-50, and that the 24-70 gets better… -
Re: Help me talk this out - 24 f/1.4 vs 24-70 f/2.8
My 24-70L was tack sharp I was extremely happy with the sharpness of my 24-70L (it was an older model produced prior to the introduction of the 24-105mm f/4L IS lens). The reason I sold mine was certainly not sharpness, it was that the 17-55mm f/2.8 IS and 70-200mm f/4L IS combination on a pair of 1.6x cameras is a super… -
Help me talk this out - 24 f/1.4 vs 24-70 f/2.8
I know - two VERY different lenses. I used a rented 24 f/1.4 at a recent wedding(I was assistant) loved it, I mean I LOVED it on my 7D. So I bought it- money is tight but resale value seems good enough that I can always pass it on w/o much loss, hardly more than renting it a few times will add up to. Been using it, been… -
Re: Help me talk this out - 24 f/1.4 vs 24-70 f/2.8
"4 times as much light" is just two stops, of course, not four. And at 24mm, honestly I hardly ever find myself lacking for light because the focal length is already so forgiving on shutter speeds. In my opinion, the 24's best use is simply for achieving shallow depth at wider angles, which is not easy to do especially on… -
Re: Help me talk this out - 24 f/1.4 vs 24-70 f/2.8
As you get more involved in shooting weddings, anniversaries, sweet 16's and Mitzvahs, you will find the need for versatility. You should concentrate is getting lenses that constantly do not overlap each other. Try to get constant f/2.8 f/stop lenses. Look at something like a 16mm-24mm, 24mm-70mm, 70mm-200mm for starters.… -
Re: Help me talk this out - 24 f/1.4 vs 24-70 f/2.8
In my opinion as a full-time professional, I can't say that a plastic lens with oldschool autofocus technology is a very good long-term investment. Yes, the 28-75 is a great lens. And if you shoot weddings professionally, you could even argue that when you eventually save up for the name-brand 24-70, it's a good idea to… -
Re: Help me talk this out - 24 f/1.4 vs 24-70 f/2.8
If, like me, photography is a hobby and not a main source of income, then reread your original post for the answer. You LOVE one lens and have doubts about the other (including the similarity to one you already possess). You gave the lens a second trial and used it 100% of the time and was "quite happy". What does…
