Paul, Wides man, wides!
Wides are the most useful lenses in my opinion and most of my stuff never ventures past 28mm. I would say 60-70% is wides for me. Since you have a 24mm perhaps the A 20mm f2.8 is an idea? It is a dream lens and I use it for all kinds of subjects. What's nice is that the minimum focusing distance is only about 6 inches so some very interesting perspectives are possible. However, even I sometimes think 20mm is just too wide even if 28mm or 35mm aren't wide enough. So, I'm also thinking about the 24-90mm zoom. I understand it's rather sharp and it covers a perfect range of focal lengths. This would be my choice. Even though you already have this range covered it's sometimes just much more convenient to have one lens without fussing over switching lenses or bodies. -Brendan MacRae --- Paul Eriksson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The last couple of weeks I've been contemplating my > lens purchase/use > philosophy.
