Still a good performer. A bit pricey, though.

Hey, Thanks Markus..!

That was a while ago, now, eh..?!

Does this mean you've a bit more time on your hands now..?

I've not been here for a while... just looked in to check out WA lenses for FF (vaguely thinking I might get a D600 some time) and was pleasantly surprised to see this.



Best wishes for 2013,

Ian

I hope so.

Try to get your hands on one before you decide. I handled the D600 at photokina, and even though it's very similar to the D7000, it felt a little less comfortable in my hands.



Regarding UWA lenses for FF: two reviews in my pipeline for the very near future (Tokina 17-35, Tamron 17-35). And it seems, Nikon plans to update the 18-35 with an AF-S drive soon.



All the best to you, too.
