Comments on: The Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 Lens is AWESOME! http://terrywhite.com/techblog/archives/779 Welcome to my technology blog!

Unfortunately I hardly ever use it on my D700, but the few pictures I did take turned out pretty good. Funny thing is I find I use this lens more on the D40 than the D700, maybe because of the crop factor. One of the things other than sharpness I like about the lens is its resistance to flair - you can practically point it straight at the sun and get beautiful effects. Here are a few: http://flickr.com/photos/ashok522/3094007865/sizes/l/ http://flickr.com/photos/ashok522/3067542534/sizes/l/in/photostream/ http://flickr.com/photos/ashok522/3067522498/sizes/l/ Yeah this is an awesome lens..

How do you like it now and is it worth upgrading? I have a D300 with a couple of lens. Thinking of going the full frame route Love your blog and your podcast Peggy Terry,

Please note that comment #7 (trackback of D700 Daily Round Part II) is a splogger-site copying my RSS feed and changing random words with random synonyms. My original post says "taken with the D700", and "taken at Adobe's", not "condemned". I think millions of photographers would love to be "condemned" to take pictures with the D700 + 14-24mm lens combo :-) Great look at the D700 + 14-24mm combo and great tech blog as well!

I'll ask my buddies and see what they come up with. Taylor, Thanks unfortunately I’ve not tried to do that kind of photography so I don’t have a first hand recommendation I could give you.

But I am curious would you have a recommendation for a lens that you would use to take pictures of older photos for restoration? I love the work you do! Thanks Taylor Hey Terry,

I have an old Sigma non AF 28-80 macro that I adore, but that's the closest thing I have to this one. No comparison. Love B&H but think I'll have to pass on this guy for now.
