Finallyyyyy!!! ** I am again .. . a proven impulsive buyer
After dinner, took my D7k out to nearby camera store to try out UWA lenses ... some stores people are really very kind to let me try.
These are my beginner feelings ...
1) Tokina 11-16 f2.8 ... image are soft but clear. Lens are poorly built ... very plasticky feel. (I pass it) Especially don't like the plastic toggle ring between AF/M
2) Sigma 10-20 f3.5 ... image solid clear! Lens feel lighter than nikkor one ... offered sgd $993.00 (cash) ... filter size is 82mm ... filter will cost extra more.
3) Nikkor 10-24 f3.5/4.5G ... image very clear but less vivid than sigma, image are cooler toned (more natural) ... lens has very solid feel. Last 2 in stock in the entire building of around 6 stores... offered
sgd $1214.00.
In the end, ... i bought the Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED AF-S DX.
Also 77mm B+W UV filter ... cost
sgd$78.
Is the price reasonable??
