the more time you spend on studying what camera/lens to get, the less time you spend on using the gears.
the more fund you sink into the gears, the less fund you will spend on refining your craft.
digging in more on technical stuffs, less creative you will be.
you want this hobby to enjoyable? just go back to your first love.

How true. How very true.
So, only look see look see Clubsnap.
After that, go snap snap and fall in love with first love again.
Always treat each shot as deflowering a camera.
Like the first kiss without any shades of gray.
All colourful hues only.
And, catch the lights ....

Since we mentioned Ken Rockwell, I'm not sure if you have read this...this kinda sums up people's opinion about him:
"* Ken Rockwell is the Chuck Norris of photography
* Ken Rockwell's camera has similar settings to ours, except his are: P[erfect] Av[Awesome Priority Tv[Totally Awesome Priority] M[ajestic]
* Ken Rockwell doesn't color correct. He adjusts your world to match his.
* Sure, Ken Rockwell deletes a bad photo or two. Other people call these Pulitzers.
* Ken Rockwell doesn't adjust his DOF, he changes space-time.
* Circle of confusion? You might be confused. Ken Rockwell never is.
* Ken Rockwell doesn't wait for the light when he shoots a landscape - the light waits for him.
* Ken Rockwell never flips his camera in portrait position, he flips the earth
* Ken Rockwell ordered an L-lens from Nikon, and got one.
* Ken Rockwell is the only person to have photographed Jesus; unfortunately he ran out of film and had to use a piece of cloth instead.
* When Ken Rockwell brackets a shot, the three versions of the photo win first place in three different categories
* Before Nikon or Canon releases a camera they go to Ken and they ask him to test them, the best cameras get a Nikon sticker and the less good get a Canon sticker
* Once Ken tested a camera, he said I cant even put Canon on this one,thats how Pentax was born
* Rockwellian policy isn't doublethink - Ken doesn't even need to think once
* Ken Rockwell doesn't use flash ever since the Nagasaki incident.
* Only Ken Rockwell can take pictures of Ken Rockwell; everyone else would just get their film overexposed by the light of his genius
* Ken Rockwell wanted something to distract the lesser photographers, and lo, there were ducks.
* Ken Rockwell is the only one who can take self-portraits of you
* Ken Rockwell's nudes were fully clothed at the time of exposure
* Ken Rockwell once designed a zoom lens. You know it as the Hubble SpaceTelescope.
* When Ken unpacks his CF card, it already has masterpieces on it.
* Rockwell portraits are so lifelike, they have to pay taxes
* On Ken Rockwell's desktop, the Trash Icon is really a link to National Geographic Magazine
* Ken Rockwell spells point-and-shoot "h-a-s-s-e-l-b-l-a-d"
* When Ken Rockwell went digital, National Geographic nearly went out of business because he was no longer phyically discarding photos
* For every 10 shots that Ken Rockwell takes, 11 are keepers.
* Ken Rockwell's digital files consist of 0's, 1's AND 2's.
* Ken Rockwell never focus, everything moves into his DoF
* Ken Rockwell's shots are so perfect, Adobe redesigned photoshop for him: all it consists of is a close button.
* The term tripod was coined after his silhouette
* Ken Rockwell never produces awful work, only work too advanced for the viewer
* A certain brand of high-end cameras was named after people noticed the quality was a lot "like a" rockwell
* Ken Rockwell isn't the Chuck Norris of photography; Chuck Norris is the Ken Rockwell of martial arts.
* Ken Rockwell never starts, he continues "

i'm thinking of getting this for my holiday trip , everything i hAd to use my 35 mm f1.4 len , lacking of someting for oversea uses .. anyone know how much it cost now ? I call up cathay , they stil quote $1600 , same price as 1-2 yr ago . there a shop near Cathay at penisular plaza , facing the road side camera shop , quote me $1300 . no idea y so much diff ...
did you check if they include GST? or is it one of those shops that will go... "Oh, lens hood ah? no... not included. extra $400. lens bag? don't have lah... you want? $20...."
Oh yea, nv ask. I have ask 2shops, Alan photo n MS, MS quote most cheapest. But still not below 1,5k . Haha.
Both lenses have its uses and I use both. I love the VR and the extended reach of the 24-120mm, but the image quality is not close to the 24-70mm. Distortion is very apparent at the wider end. The Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 VC may be the lens to consider as a compromise.
