any of you guys had any experience using these lenses?

based from the reviews i read - the 18-35 is close to the sharpness of the legendary 17-35... but its not an AF-S (18-70). does it perform better than the versatile 18-70? in terms of sharpness and color in digital slr?

i love to hear from actual user experience. thanks in advance!

Levi, I believe it's 18-35 not 18-34, right? :Grin: Btw, found this review for you, might help: http://www.bythom.com/1835lens.htm

Hi Levi,

This is the basic lens I use for Weddings, Debuts, Birthdays, Baptism, Corporate Events, Fashion Photography and Advertising. It is good for wide-angle coverage as well as macro shots. I only use the 80-200mm f2.8 Nikkor lens when I am shooting from a distance, otherwise, this lens is enough if you are more concerned on sharpness. Aside from the lens, you also have to take into consideration your available light, shutter speed and aperture setting. If you really want a sharp lens, I suggest you buy the Nikkor 50mm f1.8D lens that would only cost you around Php 5.8k and you can save money by using your legs to do the zooming. You can even shoot at slow shutter speeds using the 50mm lens even without a flash in low light conditions. No need for you to buy those expensive lens, you just have to remember the basics of photography and know the the technical side of a prime lens. Until then. Best Regards.
