Thank you, Corlan :thumbup:
And Lars, great suggestion (though not exactly cheap). I guess it all depends on
several factors.
plupcoutrielo, I think the most important thing is to consider your needs and your strategy, also for the future.
Are you simply looking for a
wider replacement for your 24-120mm to use on your present D70s,
here and now ?
Or is it your plan to
upgrade to a
better quality (and more expensive)
walkaround lens to use also on your next higher level camera body - and do you think this will be a
DX or an
FX (full frame) sensor based camera ?
Or do you want to keep your present walkaround lens and then buy an ultra wide lens as a
supplement ?
And, again, do you want such an ultra wide supplement to be a
DX (cropped image circle) lens, or a more future proof but also more expensive
FX (full image circle) lens ?
As usual there are
so many considerations when thinking about purchasing a new lens, especially
if you want it to be a bit future proof (which is not necessarily and always the most economical thing to do). It ain't easy ...
But in short:
- wider replacement, or ultra wide supplement ?
- what focal length, approximately, do you have in mind ?
- quality and price level
- here-and-now needs, or also more future proof ?
- DX or FX lens ?
By the way, here are some examples with the Sigma 10-20mmD f/4-5.6 lens on D300, all at 10mm to illustrate its widest angle of view.
Because in any case you need to make a decision on how wide you want to go.
