What is the Image Quality tradeoff between primes and 2.8 zooms?

    Nikon's 14-24 / 2.8 is perfect in the slot canyons, clean it carefully when you are done.
    I shot Antelope Canyon a couple of years ago with a 16-35 f/4 and was surprised that I took almost an equal number of frames at the long (35mm) end vs. the 16mm end. So the 14-24 might be too wide.

    I prefer to shoot primes but for slot canyons I'd concur that a high-quality zoom is preferable (unless you already have a very specific shot in mind). You gain flexibility without sacrificing image quality.

    If we skip over the cost, size, weight

    seems to have a pretty good selection o

    24 / 1.4
    105 f2 DC
    400 / 2.8 VRII

    14-24 / 2.8
    24-70,
    24-120
    70-200
    80-400 G

    only a macro and the 800 mm f4 ( oops f5.6 ) seem to be missing
