I realize that many of you on this forum are film users only which I think I'll always love the most and I know there are many who've transcended both the film and digital arenas.
I am finding myself drawn heavily into the landscape mode more than just about anything else but I do not have a good landscape lens.
I am shooting a Nikon D7000 and I really like this camera, so much so I do not want to try to do both a new body and a new lens. I've been looking at Carl Zeiss lenses but all of them seem only to be fixed primes, manual focus. If I was going to pick one of those this moment, it would be the 2.8 16mm.
It's a little pricey and I wonder if in building a furthering love for landscapes wouldn't it be better for me to buy a good zoom, somewhere in the vicinity of 14 or 16, 2.8 or even 4 to let's say, to 35mm and stay with Nikkor optics.
I would love some feedback on this as I really don't want to go blindly into the night and randomly pick a huge loser lens.
