Ellis, I'm sorry to dilute your topic with another question, but how about the Zeiss Distagon T* 18mm F/3.5 ZF.2 Lens? I'm mulling over buying this lens and have read some online reviews, but would like to hear from anyone here who uses this lens on Nikon bodies. I have never purchased the Nikon 14-24 lens, favoring the longer lenses, but as I begin to concentrate more on landscape, I'm looking wider. I'd rather spend the money on one excellent wide prime and zoom with my feet.
