It also shows that nikon aren’t innovating at all. They are just product watching Canon and splicing their range with tweener products. This level of market focus really doesn’t innovate it just copies.
I was under the impression that the D3 and D700 cameras were developed out of a passion for the format…but this cynical lens release is a parody of Canon’s spec with a thin attempt to improve on one of Canon’s lenses without the understanding what makes canon’s f4 line so good seems to proove other wise. Cheap, light, top build, with no reduction in IQ for the price. Pack a 17-40L, 24-105L and a 70-200/4L in a bag and it’s nearly half the weight of the f2.8 versions. So why put an IS in an ultrawide.
I do a lot of serious low light landscapes…an IS/VR will never replace the stability of a tripod.
After 22 years of 35mm photography….for the life of me i can’t see a single use (other than marketing spin) for an IS unit in an ultra wide lens.
As to the 24L clone….good news for Nikon users and it’s been long over due.
