its amazing what the lens can do for the price....especially compared to (much) more expensive alternative lenses. hell the differences between the 35mm 1.8 and the 50mm 1.4 are minimal (other than the obvious focal length) and the 35mm is less than half the price. there are some other lenses that i really would like to have but for the money (especially what i got mine for) the 35mm f/1.8 is hard to beat.

can't wait to get mine in

 

I want a 24-70 but It's like 2k

 

Yeah "Nifty 50" has been usurped by that 35mm. Canon **** bricks when that thing went on sale.

 

i want to get like a fish eye/wide angle type lens. havent even looked into anything yet.

 

I'm in the same boat as you are. I have my kit lens (18-55) my prime (35mm f1.8) and a telephoto (70-300) but I want something for landscapes or large groups. I have an APS-C sensor (nikon D60) so from what I read, a lot of the wide angles aren't as impressive on a DX body vs a Full frame sensor body.

 

we have the same exact lens assuming yours is the vr haha

 

i have the 18-55mm but i opted for the 55-300mm instead, and of course the 35mm 1.8

i have looked at some wide angles that can be had for less than 500 or so but i figure id better get good with what i have first then get more equipment....so i will probably pick something like that up a little later

 

Haha, unfortunately it is not a VR. It is a Sigma DG APO 70-300 which works out to about a 105-450 on my body. I couldn't pass it up with the deal I got (I paid $150 for it brand new!). With a good tripod or if it is bright enough out there isn't too much issue with it not being a VR. I have had really good luck with it with just a monopod.

 

 

 

david i saw some of the pics you posted on fb the other day of some slammed cars, your getting the angles now haha

 

anyone interested in a Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED IF AF-S VR? Ive honestly only taken like 20 pics with it. comes with uv filter and lens hood.

 

Thanks ...I feel like I have accomplished something by hearing that lol

 

I have this lens. One of my favorites. Managed this with it last week

 

Yeah that 70-300 is good, I have one too. Going from 200mm to 300mm was an excellent jump! Great for photographing airplanes.

 

How much for the lense?

 

So my D800E arrived... I am very impressed to say the least. Here is an unedited image I shot yesterday in my studio with my Nikon 180MM 2.8 ED. The detail is stunning.... 56K don't even bother, DSL be a lil patient.

im thinking $300 shipped if anyone on here is interested.

drew that looks good. any suggestions on a good fisheye or wide angle lens for nikon around $500?

 

If you are shooting cropped sensor, the Tokina 11-16 2.8 is hands down the best SWA. Fisheye wise the Nikon you cannot heat the 10.5 2.8. One of my favorite lenses, but I only shoot full frame. Both can be found used for around 500.00. The Sigma 10-20 isn't too bad, but quality wise it doesn't stack up to the tokina. (Also lacks a 2.8)

 

thanks, gonna have to look into that tokina

 

Same here. Plus save up a few more bucks. Looks like it's worth it for getting those wide angle shots though.

 

Pm'd!!!

 

 

D800!!!

Beaucoup bucks!

Excellent job.

 

I'z wants your Vette!
