thanks for the thoughts, it is hard I think I've made a decision and then a few hours later it changes and think I have settled with the other lens (this will also be the most money I have spent on a lens). I have read about everything I can find on the 24-70 and have decided it seems like a decent lens for what it is and the people that aren't happy with it really just had unrealistic expectations more than anything.
I used a pany 25mm 1.4 on my em5 as my main lens for most of the time and enjoyed it. I like the fact it makes me slow down and think a bit more than a zoom.
But then looking at that comparison between the 24-70 at 50mm and the 55mm on Tim Ashleys review the looked basically the same. So thinking if the zoom can get to that level then maybe thats the better option albeit at a slower aperture.
What would you rather?
an ok zoom and an amazing prime or a decent legacy prime and a good zoom?
I would love to see a direct comparison between the kit zoom and zeiss zoom. Does the zoom still have the zeiss look to it and can it give that pop and 3d look the zeiss lenses are famous for? Thanks.
