I've been offered what seems to be a mint copy of the 20-35mm for a reasonable price, and considering the fact that there's an FX format camera somewhere in my future, it looks like an interesting option. However, it would have to live on my DX-sensor cameras for a while first. Does anybody have experiences with that lens on either digital format?
Yes, I'm aware that the 17-35mm f/2.8 is a better lens optically, but having searched the used market for one for almost two years, I've noticed that more than half of the ones I've found have had faulty AF motors, and even then, they're more expensive than the 20-35. And strictly speaking, I've never used anything wider than 20mm anyway, so I can live with that limitation.
