Hi Kenny,



welcome on board.

Under DX, I notice this lens resolution is higher than 14-24mm on center but the border resolution is better on 14-24mm. In this case, if I am shooting sunrise/sunset landscape, I should consider better border resolution which is 14-24mm, right ?[/quote]



The FX review isn't finished, yet, but you can assume the same behaviour on FX, too. Very high center resolution, but less sharpness in borders and corners than 14-24. If I remember the numbers correctly, also a little less than the 16-35 VR.



So, for landscapes, the 14-24 is probably the best of these three ... unless you plan to use filters regularly. Also note that the 14-24 tends to flare a lot, however not necessarily when the sun is actually in the frame.



Another option would be one of the Zeiss wide angle lenses: ZF 18/3.5 or ZF 21/2.8.

Also, hope to see the 35mm f/1.4G review (my friend is keen to see the review before buy it)[/quote]



This lens will be reviewed within the next months, but I cannot tell you when, yet. The 85/1.4 will probably come first.
