I guess it depends on your use of wide angle. What * I * would do if I had the choice now would probably to buy the 12-24 for two reason: * it goes wider but also allows to go up to 24mm (which is not really a wide lens anymore) * I dot not (till now) use wide a lot. Using a 12-24 is flexible. If I use the lens a lot I could enable myself later with a better optical and faster lens which would be the DA14/2.8.
Reading the comments of those who own it, it seems the 12-24 is really a very fine lens so I'd buy this one. But this reasoning is only valid (for me) because I do not use wide a lot. 2007/3/17, Maris V. Lidaka Sr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Amateur here - which lens do you think preferable?
