Apples to oranges comparison. I have a 24mm/f2.0 lenses. Will it produce
better results than a 24mm/f.2.8 lens which costs less than 1/2 as much?
In my case yes, because I quite often use it at f2.0. Now let's think
about someone who always uses flash in low light situations and never goes
below f5.6. My lens would be overkill for him the cheaper lens most like
producing better results than the more expensive one.
It's not just the shooting aperture that matters.
You might find the 24/2 is the better low light lens, even with flash, since
it will allow much easier focussing.
When I was shooting weddings, I decided, after using lenses of f/1.8 or f/2
that a 50/1.2 would be a wise investment. I was still shooting at f/5.6, but
I was focussing at f/1.2, which made a huge difference in dark churches or
halls.
