Hi guys,
I'm currently looking to upgrade from my d70 kit lens.
Of course i'd go straight for a nikon 28-70 but alas, i have no $$$.
I really like primes, as well as fast lenses.
I'm thinking of getting the
1. Sigma 20/1.8 (from reviews, i've read its as good as the nikon 20/2.8, although its not as sharp wide open, but i COULD use that extra stop.)
2. Sigma 12-24 (full frame compatible, supposedly better than the nikon?? saw some pics)
3. Tamron 28-75 DI (lots of glowing reviews, although production quality may vary... tried it out, very solid feel. nice colors! def better than my 18-70.)
So far, people have been saying "STICK TO NIKON, much better build quality, easier to sell"
But apart from better build quality (actually i think the sigma/tamrons are really not too bad) and harder to sell,
what other reasons should i NOT get the above lenses?
Price wise, they are superb. total for the above is less than 2k...
