Just wonder if uwa are better and price diff?
im looking for WA lenses too. been researching and asking around.
just to share with you,
many recommend Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 and Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6. havent gotten much review on Nikon's 10-24mm.
i find it hard to choose which to get. each have their pros and cons.
Tokina - its a f2.8! but limited range.
Sigma - f4. slow lens. but many say you're not gonna use as an action lens etc. price is good.
Nikon - expensive but has a wide zoom range.
conclusion for me, i prob go for Tokina or Sigma. budget problem. :bsmilie:
on top of that, im thinking of getting a standard zoom to go along with it. either Sigma's 17-70mm f2.8 or Tokina's 16-50mm f2.8.
Gurus out there.. pls advice. thank you!
hi bros out there,
anyone has any suggestions bout good third party wide angle lenses?
How fast u want to be? I've used f/4 lenses in the past and honestly they're not at all slow even in dim lighting.
hahha... dun get me wrong. im not saying f4 is a slow lens. wat i meant was in comparison with a f2.8 lens.
i have seen how a Sigma 10-20 perform in a club. (of course with an ext flash)
the results are amazing!! nice and sharp. colours are great.
pardon me.. but i think im just one of those a**hole that yearns a f2.8 lens. :bsmilie:
What I mean the diff in iq and picture wise between uwa and wa and price gap?dun quite understand your question bro..
better in wat sense? price wise varies with brands,quality etc

Well, there's the path not often travelled.
Zenitar 16mm f2.8

Don't worry about those QC issues, I got mine a month ago, and it is able to reach infinity focus.
It's soft at f2.8, but really sharp once you hit f4 onwards.
Costs $300 flat, got it over eBay.
Just to give you an idea of how wide 16mm is on a cropped sensor.

There's the Peleng 8mm too, but be wary of the image quality.
Happy Researching!,
