Nikon finally gets a 24mm f/1.4

But I am a strong proponent of the design wisdom of the EF mount, and I have more respect for Canon's lens development. They have consistently and repeatedly showed initiative where others have not.

I wholeheartedly agree, and just one of the reasons I stick with Canon. The Nikon F mount is a confusingmash-upof fading legacies. Canon EF would let me use the newest lenses (even with IS) on my film EOS 10s from 1991.


And if I have to, the larger diameter of the EF bayonet lets me adapt Nikon F and Canon FD (and just about anything else that doesn't hit the mirror) in manual-focus mode.


To me, as an electrical engineer, it is just a more elegant system. It's not often you get to wipe the slate clean and start from scratch like Canon did with EOS, but I think it was worth it and has paid off.

If I had to choose one company to bet on who will come out with the next major innovation in optics, I would say Canon.

Agree completely. And now with Weather sealing, hybrid IS...It's amazing.
