Strange thing is I get tiff files when I download them
Try to rename them to NEF.

I`m learning a lot with all your comments. I`m fell to have found this forum.The 24-70 not rated great at 24 or better I should say.
I owned the 14-24 twice and while it is a great lens I found myself using it very rarely as opposed to primes. So I fully understand what drives youDamn I'm a really sick person. I think I'm going for the 24 1.4 and sell the 14-24. I'll list it in B&S. I may regret this but I need the speed in the Nikon kit.
I owned this lens many moons ago and it is stellar but it has a nasty distortion to it that takes you out of normal programs to correct so it's not a simple check box in ACR to fix so it takes extra care.Guy thanks, I'll be interested to see what that 24 1.4 can do.
I was reading in Digilogs, that the Zeiss 21mm has a difficult distortion, strong wave-type distortion: first barrel distortion (bowing outwards), then reversing to pincushion distortion (bowing inwards).
So this makes me think on the 24 1.4 as well. ACH
Yes anything that does not get used gets the boot out of my cabinet. Nothing bugs me more than not using something. I like that lens but I'm afraid it will sitI owned the 14-24 twice and while it is a great lens I found myself using it very rarely as opposed to primes. So I fully understand what drives you
The wide lens for the new d800e is still a big issue for me. I´m going to buy the 24-70, I´ve read very good reviews about its performance with the new d800, and I need to cover the mid-range with the good zoom.Yes anything that does not get used gets the boot out of my cabinet.

I read only great reviews about the 16-35 VR, so this is a fix starter for WA zoom for me. I am sure any prime will top it at 24, but the differences are not significant enough to justify carrying more lenses for this reason.The wide lens for the new d800e is still a big issue for me.

I also need a very good wide lens for big architecture and landscapes prints. I know there some lens better than 24-70 at 24. The 14-24, 16—35, Zeis 21 2.8, could be better options, but is the 24-70 good enough for those big prints?
If not, is the 16-35 at 24, good enough?
Money issue is not a minor issue after the d800e, the 24-70, new memory, an extra battery, etc., so I need to take an efficient decision.
