Thanks Moose. I'll have to digest this over some time. Also
none of these I can afford at this time, both in terms of money
and time.
But at some point it will change and my goal is to make large
prints. Currently I'm at13x19 inch, but would like to get to
24 inches wide by as long as practical. Hence the struggle,
and looking at all the alternatives. Including whether even
FF DLSR is the right path to that end.
So, right now I'm just in drool mode, which is cheap. A lot of the
lenses you suggest are probably acceptable at 13x19.

And yes I do have trouble making up my mind. I should probably not
post when I'm about to fall asleep. What I meant to imply was that
the mk 1 vs the mk 2 16-35 seems to trade off one end of the range
for the other. 1 better at 35, 2 better at 16. So I would rather have
a prime at each. But the 21mm is a preferred wide angle for a prime.
