Recommended 3rd Party lens

[swimcraze]

Do share which third party lens you have used and you would highly recommend it to all.

For me, it would be

Tokina 12-24mm
Tamron 28-75mm
Sigma 70-300mm

Tamron 28-75mm and Sigma 70-300mm I have both of them.

If not full frame you can go for the Tamron 17-50 f2.8. Rated sharpest in its class by photozone.

Sigma 70-300mm . Good lens for the price.

I believe Tamron 24-135mm used to be a hot item before

i own all the 3... all are good for their price.
tokina 12-24 - sharp from f8 onwards, so not very good for night shooting without tripod/support.
tamron 28-75 - pretty sharp even wide open
sigma 70-300 - usable wide open, but stopping down to f8 helps a little more.
