Wide angle lens

[Scott™]

Looking at getting one for my bday from the misses.

Hoping to use it for landscapes, is this right?

Anyone able to suggest a good one between £150 and £300 for a Nikon D5000.

[Danny133]

[Scott™]

Yea I meant used.

 

[Danny133]

yeah the sigma 10-20 mate its between £200-£300 used .. price fluctuates alot

 

[JamesBryan]

Yeah. Good lens for the price :approve:

 

[Scott™]

I've seen a couple on ebay. Theres one new for £299?

 

[Andy.]

Sigma 10-20 or the Tokina 12-24 are your best bets. I wouldn't mind another UWA. 16-35 is next only shopping list.

 

[Scott™]

UWA?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Ultra wide angle

Andy - 16-35mm is a cracking lens!

Pretty sure this was taken using a 7-14mm (14-28mm equivalent for 35mm film) though was a while ago. Is probably my favourite of my landscape photo.

The rest of these were all taken with a 14mm (28mm equiv):

So yeah.wide angle is good for landscape

 

[Scott™]

Cheers mate. Some very nice pictures there.

Have a look in Carmarthen Cameras Scott, I got a Sigma 10-20 from there for just under £300.

20mm really isnt that wide on a crop. Ive got a 10 - 22 on my 7d most of the time and that normally sits between 10 and 17mm. +1 to the sigma 10 - 20 4.5-5.6

Sigma 10-20mm i've got one tis a good lens e.g.

 

[Scott™]

Just won a 10-20 sigma with plr filter for £360

 

[jenic]

That doesn't seem that cheap....

Or is it the f3.5 version?

 

[Tigger]

What's the spec on the one you got mate?

 

[SamP]

Good choice for a Nikon, bar the 14-24 obvs
