After 36 years of being a Nikon user, I am seriously thinking of ditching it. I believe that the current
Nikon line-up is the best there is in a dslr. However, age is catching up and carrying heavy zooms to
get the best optics is becoming a pita.
Canon has the zooms that I would like..the f/4 ones, but the white/light grey coating is just unbearable.
Rumors of a 16-? f/4 nikon zoom seem interesting, but when? I desperately need vr/is in my longer zooms and f2.8 is not really a requirement for me; neither is f4.5 variable.
I am happy with my walkabout leicas and their f/1.4. no one comes near. but once in a while one needs
to go beyond 75mm ( which is really outside rf terriority imho ). The zeiss zf 100/2 is excellent, but lack
of afs has cost me some; and it is heavy for a prime at 100mm.
In-body stabilisation, a superb zeiss 135mm, a good set of mf and wa zooms is available for the sony alpha range.
I am confused, and would like some advice, please.
Hope you folks don't mind my sharing my frustrations aloud.
Regards.
