Quote:Not necessarily - a lot of them are made to end at 24mm to mesh with the next lens, a 24-70 or 24-105.
I only know two: Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8 and Sigma 12-24mm.
The normal UWA's have overlap (thankfully):
Nikkor 16-35mm f4 VR
Canon 17-40mm f4 USM
Canon 16-35mm f2.8 USM
Nikkor 17-35mm f2.8
Zeiss 16-35mm f2.8 SSM
Tokina 16-28mm f2.8
On APS-C SLR there are only two examples of lenses with less/no overlap (depending on which APS-C standard zoom to put them next to), the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 DX and the Sigma 8-16mm DC.

The discussion of overlap makes sense in a different perspective: other lens catalogs offer more choice and you can choose whether you want a set which overlaps or not. Indeed the overlap can be helpful (more flexibility, as sometimes you don't have to change lens), but with a price to pay (heavier). Currently with Nikon I have an overlap (12-24 + 18-70) but I'd like to go with the lighter solution without overlap as an alternative. In other words, with Fuji, I'd like to see both a 10-18 (such as Sony's) and a 24-70 or such.

Quote:Pentax and Tokina 12-24's also.
The other UWA's that you list are for FF. They are not really UWA on APS-C. The 12-24's are 18-36 FF equivalents...to the lenses that you list.
Those are APS-C lenses. The 24-70's are FF lenses. We were talking FF lenses in this APS-C thread.

Quote:As is this 10-24.
Speaking of this focal length: there is a Nikon and a Tamron sharing it.
And though the 24-70 lenses are full-frame, they make sense on APS-C as well when coupled with a xx-24 lens. A few people I know were using this kind of setup.
If I'd been shooting Fuji, I would've taken the 10-24 + 35 + 55-200.
That is fine, but the 24mm overlap mentioned was meant in FF terms. The 22-24mm ends of APS-C UWA zooms are not designed to match FF standard zooms.... They merely mimic the UWA zoom range of FF UWA's.

Regardless, they mesh well.
