seeyatI shoot primes... so I'm sort of wondering what's drawing me to the 24-120/4. I think it's just the variability and how easily it can get me out of the house when depressed.
My primary focus should be a NIKKOR 35/1.4 and 105/2.8 MC since that covers some beautiful portrait, video and macro applications plus. Additionally, the total cost would be more like $1400 if all is bought fresh and new.
I'll be honest, the 24-120/4 is still an enticing lens. It just isn't specialized toward my desired uses. ...but it would definitely serve my mental health. It would do so in ways that a cheap cropped or mft camera and lens collection could also accomplish.
So, if I were to consider a range of lenses I could use for something like automotive work, I would say the 35/1.4 plus 105/2.8 as prime investments and possibly a TAMRON 150-500/5-6.7 for track shooting and car parades like the Woodward cruise.
Frankly, fast primes in 35, 50 and 105 macro would be a perfect collection for shooting cars up close and capturing small details. Same can be said about their uses with human subjects. I do love primes and their dreamy creamsicle bokeh. They're fun to play with.
