with a Canon body, Nikon 14-24mm f2.8. Nikon has really set the
benchmark with that lens. It's so good the Canon guys are willing to
give up AF just to have it over their other choices.

Surely they are also giving up control of the lens aperture? It can't
be much fun to have such a beautiful lens and only be able to use it
at one aperture.

Actually I was thinking that the shooter was a Nikon shooter who gave
up his Nikon bodies just to get access to a decent sensor.
