clover would like you to know that her mother would like one or both of the 2 new nikon lenses that were released today. ok?
super. thanks.
while the release of these lenses makes for more choices in my quest for a great W I D E lens, it does not seal the deal.
i will now take forever to make up my mind. i do not spend money lightly and those lenses, they are lots of money.
i feel like a little kid who has just seen a commercial for a new toy and like that child, i want it yesterday.
also like that child, i will not be getting it anytime soon, but i can lick my screen.
photo info: shot with my widest lens…the 28 focal length on my old 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5D. it is not a pro lens, but the one i pop on my camera when i am just taking family vacation photos…not the sharpest for client shoots.

Drooling over the 24mm 1.4! Food thing I don't have a FX and the 2200$ in my account. OUCH! That's a lot of money. If someone sends you one, let me know if it's worth it. For now I am content with my Nikon 50.. 1.8, 85mm 1.8, and Sigma 30mm 1.4.
if someone sends me one…i will tell the WORLD what i think about it.
Amanda, just out of curiousity… what camera base are you using with your Sigma 30 1.4? I've been thinking about that one too…
thinking about that one as well…may not be wide enough for me now though.
oooooh, that should be easy…good thing they're so affordable….
Oh my goodness. I was just about to dash over there and buy myself a 24 1.4
And then I saw the price.
Holy Moley Cow!
I am despondent.
Wow. That 24mm 1.4 lens looks AMAZING! I want!
I love her expression in this shot. Heh. I can almost hear her!
There's a softness to this shot that I love. Is it the lens or something you did in your processing?
it was a little processing stuff that i was playing around with. i had to save this shot in raw as it was BLOWN out.
love the pic of clover-what a doll!!
hope you get your lenses….eventually!

i think that was more for love and harmony in the world than a new lens, but i'll go with it. maybe i should start a vision board!
Jajaja,
Good luck with your lens!!
Clover looks so grown up!!
so adorable! i mean chicken..not the lens
Love that shot of Clover- she looks like she's singing with all of her heart and soul, hee!
That expression is almost South-Park-like! Too funny!
the 24mm 1.4 is expensive, but it would be a sweet lens!! wonder how it will compare to the 12-24mm 2.8 zoom? they're in the same price range … surely nikon could let you test one
I had the good fortune to try the new Nikon 24mm f/1.4G and 16-35mm f/4G VR at PMA in Anaheim yesterday. I really want the 24mm f/1.4G for myself. Here's a link to a shot I took with it on a Nikon D3s:
