Interesting. Looking forward to hearing more about this one

Maybe canon folks don't have to buy the Nikon 14-24 now.

 

[Steve Das]

..don't get your hopes up yet...this thing has been rumoured for years.

We never have.....Tokina 16-28 or Zeiss 15mm will do ;-)

Well, if you really want the best full frame wide zoom ever made, the Nikon 14-24 is that lens. No trolling, no canon vs. nikon stuff, just is what it is. Every company has their areas of expertise, their pedigree, their DNA if you will, and wide lenses have always been something Nikon has excelled at, just like Canon makes the best telephotos.

 

[Ron Lagerlof]

And, Rudi, you like Nikon 14-24 underwater too, right? Gates housing? What port extender?

 

[Ken Robings]

You can get the Nikon 14-24 repackaged (and improved mechanically) as a PL from Focus Optics, their Ruby Lens.

The ruby 14-24 is da bomb!

 

[Vithya Sharma]

BooooMmmm

 

[Maik Müller]

Sounds really interesting, the part about a replacement for the 16-35 too, but even if their source is right it will take a while before we can buy anything.
I had plans on getting the 16-35, but now i hope my pre-ordered Sigma 18-35/1.8 will be good enough for me until Canon brings those new lenses.

Too much distortion with Nikons Superwides. Zeiss rules.

The Zeiss 15mm is a dream-lens, have to play with that one day.

Interesting. So is the Ruby 14-24 using the Nikon glass?

Bob, have you tried to match the Ruby footage with any other primes? How's the bokay?

Which Zeiss 15mm? Master Prime, Ultra Prime?

I was talking about the 2012(?) 15mm/2.8 still lens, which you can get in ZE/ZF and CP.2-form.

 

[Ben Scott]

I absolutely love that 15mm. Hired the CP2 version for the short I recently DP'd but in fact would rather have the ZE version as it's so much smaller and won't vignette on dragon.

Thats a great shot. Don't make think about this lens again, i thought i have successfully moved that to next year.

The one and only thing i don't like about the ZE/ZF-version is the non-removeable lens-hood. I know you can remove it somehow, but i'm not sure about modding a 2500€-lens....
