It's worse than that. *I put a Nikon 14-24 f/2.8G lens on my FAB 5D2.
I feel so dirty!


Here are a few pics I've taken with that combo in the past 3 days.

It was said in Popular Photography when Canon first introduced
streamline 35mm bodies way back when A1's ruled that if you could use
Nikon glass on a Canon body, you'd have the perfect camera.

That may have been true back in the day, but not now. *The Nikon 14-24
is the only lens that bests anything that Canon offers. *My advice is
to rent this lens for a few days and watch your photography improve
immediately. Then cry your eyes out as you drive to the UPS store to
send it back.


Here's the news flash mate...
I've owned one since 2009. Any Nikon shooter working full frame needs
one of these for real estate or inside event shots. The only way to
stand in a corner and get the whole room in without it looking like
you're in a fish bowl.

Serious Annika. No working professional (well not unless you call
wedding photographers professionals) can do without one. Ditto that for
a 24-70 f2.8 and 70 -200 f2.8. There's a few fixed length lenses I've
got for preference with head shots but these are the essential glass I
never leave home without and Canon have no answer for.

Well I guess if you don't count the Canon 24-70 f/2.8L II and the
Canon 70-200 f/2.8L II IS, both of which trounce anything that Nikon
offers. Stick with your Nikon, sweetie. It's a nice little starter
camera. When your photography improves you'll want to make the jump up
to Canon.


As in "The canons of fair play" or "Cannon fodder"?
