Because when you're still shooting film you think that full frame sensor is going to be important, and even though I couldn't justify the cost at that time (still can't), it's nice to know the option is there. Also, at the time people seemed to think Canon IS was a little more advanced, it's available in more lenses, and most of their lenses have USM. Plus they have that 24-70/2.8 which is pretty nifty. tv

Yup, but there comes DX 17-55/2.8 - much smaller, lighter than L 24-70, and it is eqiv. of 26-80 on 35mm. For all those who don't want to carry extra bulk when they use only APS-sized CCD DSLRs this is better option than Canon's offer in this range. -- Best Regards Sylwek
Re: other brands:was ditching Pentax
But then Nikon has, or will have (not quite sure which, but it is in B&H's catalog), a 17-55mm f2.8. -- tom wrote: Plus they have that 24-70/2.8 which is pretty nifty. -- graywolf http://graywolfphoto.com "You might as well accept people as they are, you are not going to be able to change them anyway."
RE: other brands:was ditching Pentax
Yeah, I saw that. Told a Nikon shooting buddy about it. He's annoyed since he recently dropped a load on the 17-35/2.8. I personally wouldn't by a DX-style lens as I still plan to go full-frame at some point. tv > -Original Message- > From: graywolf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2003 3:57 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: other brands:was ditching Pentax > > > But then Nikon has, or will have (not quite sure which, but > it is in B&H's > catalog), a 17-55mm f2.8. > > -- > > tom wrote: > > > Plus they have that 24-70/2.8 which is pretty nifty. > > > -- > graywolf > http://graywolfphoto.com > > "You might as well accept people as they are, > you are not going to be able to change them anyway." > > > >

Re: other brands:was ditching Pentax
Dear me, Wendy, Now you've gone and done it, haven't you? You've already pissed off your fellow Brits by abandoning them and heading off to the New World in search of fame and fortune. Now you've pissed off those of us in the Colonies by refusing to be identified as one of us. Whatever will you do now? "What, that?

I would definitely pronounce that as Neekon or Neakon or Niekon... But then of course I would mis-pronounce many other words... You see, Nykon is well too close to my ear to Nike which is not a good thing, I say... Boris P.S. Is Nike pronounced as Mike or as Nikee?
