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

Ade

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

haroldp 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

Where can I get an 800 f4 ?
