Gonna have a hard time selling that on NS, 16-35 is pointless on a crop for that much money, the 16-35 is definitely made for FF or 1.3.

Sure, FF would be optimal but pointless? Wow.

its a fuck load nicer then a tam 17-50, i know a few people with 16-35s on crop bodies that love them

but no we should only take your word for it, because you shoot with a dslr so much right? /ignorant

I use one on a 7D. It's great for indoor photography, though there are certainly times when I'd like a little extra width. An 11-16 or full frame body are likely in my future, but for now I'm satisfied with the lens. Good luck selling it.

for 1800 dollars not really worth it imo when a tamron 17-50 is 350...

weather sealed
far sharper
better colors
built far better

the differences might not be that great in video, but in photos they are drastically noticeable. and seeing as most people who would be buying this lens would be buying it for photos, i think the choice is pretty obvious

you are basically trying to compare a honda to a high end bmw, it just doesn't work
