Trade - 16-35mm for 24-70


Recommended Posts

Just like the title says. I have a BRAND NEW 16-35 2.8

GM, just not what I wanted and don't want to go through

the hassle of returning it, getting a refund, etc.

 

Looking for a straight up trade for a 24-70 GM

       

" ............ not what I wanted and don't want to

go through the hassle of returning it, getting

a refund  ........... " 

 

 

SMELLS ROTTEN.  

 

    

Just HOW is it LESS hassle to: 

     

1. Advertise for a rather unlikely opportunity 

2. Discuss trade with possible interested party

3. Package, ship, and insure stuff in two directions 

     

     

@ the one-post noob: 

      

If you are honest, I still would not wanna deal with 

someone so irrational ... someone who's foolish on 

at least two counts: 

     

1. Insisting on doing things assbackwards 

2. Failing to realize that, structurally, his offer reeks

of scam, stolen goods, etc, upon a casual reading.   

    

Honest-but-naive OR criminal, either way, no one 

should take up this offer. A critique such as this is 

out of place ..... in the Swap-and-Sell section. But 

this not that section. This is a discussion forum and 

so I am discussing "Internet Literacy" and just plain

common sense. 

  

Am I being harsh ? Yes. Quite intentionally.

    • I'd opt for a small zoom, but I must admit that there seems to be a dearth of lenses in the e-mount in the 24-50mm range -- for some reason.  I have a small 24-70mm, but that's an a-mount Tamron.  Maybe you can find something by looking at lenses slightly longer.  I have a heavy, but small 24-100mm a-mount, and Tokina made a 24-200mm a-mount.  Maybe there are similar lenses in the e-mount.  Kill three birds with one stone.
    • Well this! Thank you! I have been following suggestion after suggestion for the past 3 hours with my a7CR and never thought of removing the battery. Magic!
    • I recently got an a7cii and to pair with the compact body, I thought of getting 2 of the trio compact lenses, 24mm F2.8 and 40mm F4.0. (I already have a 70-200mm) However I stumbled upon the newly released 24-50mm F2.8 G. I'm not sure which to get - I like the small factor of the prime lenses ON the body because it's discreet and helps me blend in as an average tourist / doesn't make it obvious when doing street. But if I add the dimensions of the 2 primes together, it takes up more space in the bag than the zoom lens. BUT THEN, the weight of the 2 prime lenses is 110g lesser than the zoom lens. The zoom lens has the added benefit of being more versatile.   So now I'm stumped. Each has their pros and cons and I can't decide which to get. I'd like to hear the views of you guys who are more experts at this.   Edit: I'm a bit concerned about weight because the last time I went overseas my shoulders were aching from carrying too much. Which is why I was looking for small compact primes in the first place.
