What May Push Me Over the Edge...

...into an X-E1 is the new 14mm lens. Images from this lens are published here:

In a bit under 2 months I am going on a holiday to Thailand. A super wide angle lens is MANDATORY there. The temple complexes are HUGE and you can never back up enough to capture them. 28mm's simply is not wide enough in Bangkok. I had a lot of frustrations the last two times I was in Thailand so with this trip I was thinking of a new lens.

I have 3 options on the table.

1. Get the X-E1 and 14mm lens.

2. Get a Tokina 11-16 lens for my S5 Pro.

3. Buy a Nikon D800E to use with my Nikkor 24mm f/1.4.

Such a hard call on which way to go. Cost is not a factor for me.  I just want to commit to the best long term solution.

I have a lot of deciding to do in the next month.
