wah, u realli getting the 24-70mm. nearly 3k liao tat lens. godly lens!

Heard from one of the recommended shops that it MAY be around 2.4K! Shocking price! And there are already 10 persons on the list! If like that, I will sell the 18-200 and 50/1.4 just to get it ;p But that will be after the Cambodia trip ;p

haha, sia la, 2.4k . good price sia.

After reading a couple of photography books then realise it is often the ends (17 and 35, 28 and 70 etc) or more common focal lengths (20, 50 and 105) of a f/2.8 zoom lens that people are using... So all that extra money just to save on changing lens? Hmm... :think:

ic ic, ya, good choice since u shooting most often in that range of 24-70mm

what about 18-200mm?? what is 18-200 mm for?? can it use for normal shooting ? ermm 24-70mm = u cant zoom more right?? ermm correct me if i`m wrong

I am not dismissing the 18-200 as it is definitely a good lens for normal use and traveling. I find the 18-200...

1. very useful for its focal range of wide to telephoto
2. the VRII helps with low light and shaky hands
3. fairly good CA and flare control for a superzoom
4. excellent sharpness when stopped down and in the sweet spot focal range

but...

1. it is not "fast" enough at times to "stop" subject motion
2. does not produce the nice bokeh that I wish to achieve
3. lens creep...
4. all sorts of distortion with exception at 24mm

Yes, you can increase the ISO to retain the speed but that is only thing you can do. Increasing the ISO does not make the aperture any bigger and the DOF will be different. The largest aperture at 70mm for 18-200 is around f/5 compared to f/2.8 on 24-70. The focal range is something that has to be sacrificed to keep the size down for fast lens.
