Re: Thinning the herd: am I dumb to sell my most valuable lens?

Awesome, some really helpful responses so far! I think my only hangup on selling the 14 is that it's so perfect in the edges. 14mm is going to give distortion but it feels as though the 14 perfectly conveys the focal length. Now, if the 10-24 can do that at 14 and add the benefit of zoom, well that's it. I don't need the extra stop of light, and by selling all the other stuff I should have enough money to buy the perfect indoor wide angle lens, the 16.

OIS can be very useful with the 10-24 if you like to shoot blurred water shots handheld.

Hadn't thought of that type of shot! That would be great to have.

I too was in your shoes regarding the wide angle. I was tired of switching between the 14 and 23 while hiking. I sold the 14 for the 10-24 and I cant be any happier. The convenience of perfectly framing your shots while on the go cannot be beat. Plus, if you love shooting wide, 10mm will open up a whole new world of possibilities.

That's a really nice shot. Amazing what it can do at 10mm.
