Hi,
I am in a midst of a decision. I like landscapes and low light shots. Sunsets and city buildings in dazzling city lights is the thing for me.
So I was wondering if I would get the 9-18 mm lens together with the 14-54 mm lens OR the 12-60 mm lens for my use.
Where the wide angle is the maximum with the 9-18 mm will I have difficulty taking low light shots handheld with it compared the 12-60 mm lens? Will the shallow depth of field when using the F2.8 aperture render me not being able to get enough depth of field for the entire picture while taking a landscape shot (e.g. sunset) at 12 mm?
The aperture of the 14-54 mm at 17 mm is F2.8 whereas the aperture of the 12-60 mm at 17 mm is at F3.2 (can anyone help to confirm this?). Is there a lot of difference in the night? Will I miss the SWD focusing system on the 12-60 in exchange for this short coming?
Currently I already have the 14-42 F3.5 (which I am prepared to ditch) and the PL 25 mm F1.4 and the Oly 50 mm F2.
Any comments/help is greatly appreciated before I dump my money on the wrong lens.
