I'm really torn between the 14-24 and 24 PC-E. I can see advantages for both.

Reasons for the 14-24 over the 24 PC-E (of course I have my own ideas, just want some other opinions). :nunu:

:agree: Tempting as the 24mm PC-E would be a pretty awesome lens to have, personally I would go with the 14-24mm for the range and it's a pretty bad a$$ lens also.

Of course, but the distortion can be abused.
