I sorta lust after that 10-24 lens. The more I shoot, the more fun I have with very wide angles.
I do very, VERY little post. I find that's possible only by shooting in all-manual, all the time. When I do post process, I use Polarr, an online platform, and I use jpgs.
As for the missed focus, I'm a little surprised by that coming from such a (potentially) wide angle lens. Especially down at 10mm, I feel like aything smaller than f4 would just have the whole world in focus, starting about 3 feet in front of you?
This is exactly the reason I traded my 10-24 for the 16. I just had a hell of a time nailing focus. It was all in very low light so I blamed it on the f4 aperture.As for the missed focus, I'm a little surprised by that coming from such a (potentially) wide angle lens.

I had the D700 still regretting selling it.This is exactly the reason I traded my 10-24 for the 16. I just had a hell of a time nailing focus. It was all in very low light so I blamed it on the f4 aperture.
Oh by the way, Get the glass, always get the glass. My Nikon kit consist of a lot of glass and a D700 that's about 10 years old. Still doing fine.
Well my D700 is getting long in the tooth and it's days are numbered but I love the camera. It gets out of the way and lets you shoot. I kept a 24 handy for my wide on the D700 so the 16 will be fine for me. If by chance I have to go wider I'll shoot a Pano . Also the XT-1 could have. something to do with failure to nail focus as I had a D7000 that would not lock on in low light where the D700 and D7200 would nail focus every time with the same aperture. The XT2 I hear is much better at auto focus
