Nikon owners: Which lenses do you use the most?
Scotty wrote: Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 VR II was my best purchase and most used lens. I'm thinking of selling the 24-70 f/2.8G for the 24-120 f/4 (newest variant). I've heard from some NPS members they prefer it over and i've seen their results, and it's half the price.
I won't sell mine, however I wish it didn't weigh a half ton. It makes for a pretty heavy "walk around" lens.....
Why so serious?

Do you use the 2.8 enough to warrant not switching to the 24-120?

Probably not, but I have a 24-120 f/4 and don't like it as much.

Not the newest, but I won't get one. I like my 24-70....(as long as I don't need to carry it all day)....There are other lenses ahead of that on my "want" list....

Newer one is supposed to be sharper than the 24-70, lighter and cheaper. You just don't get the f/2.8.
I hear you on the "want" list though.

Number one on my "want" list is the 600 f/4 afs. My wife gives me seriously dirty looks when she sees it on my computer monitor...
