Will this fit nikon and what should i pay?

[The Boosh!]

I'm looking to buy a more wider angle lense as i feel my 35mm isn't flexible enough for the shots I take.

Will the lense above fit my Nikon D60? What should I be looking to pay for this particular lense?

Thanks!

No. That particular one is Canon-fit.

This one is Nikon fit. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tamron-SP-AF-17-50mm-f-2-8-XR-Di-II-VC-LD-Aspherical-/280565604133?pt=UK_CamerasPhoto_CameraAccessories_CameraLensesFilters_JN&hash=item4153035f25#ht_558wt_1137

Why not get the sigma 10-20? Going for as little as just over £200 now over on talk photography.

 

[The Boosh!]

What F stop does that go down to as i'm a DoF *****?

Also I like the versitility of being able to go from 17mm to 50mm.

 

[jenic]

f3.5 across the whole length if you get the good version, but that's going to be at least £300 used.

Or if your feeling flush, how about the sigma 4.5mm fisheye, would love this lens

f**k that then lol

I've basically got what my 35mm Prime is worth + a bit extra to buy a new lense.

 

[jenic]

lol, for what you get thats cheap in lens terms.

Glass is always expensive

I've got the 10-20mm and the 17-50mm.

The Sigma is just a bit too wide for general day to day. 20mm is barely worth the reach, it's just a super wide. The Tamron is a better all-rounder, faster and gives a better range.

Even on a crop sensor revels?

My kit lens goes down to 18mm and I dont find that wide enough personally, just cant justify the cost of the 10-20mm when i rarely use the camera

 

[The Boosh!]

Looks like 17-50mm is the way forward then. Now to find one for circa £210!

The difference between 18mm and 10mm is massive, the lower down you go, the bigger the difference seems to be.

Booshy is just going to have this one lens, so to be restricted with that small range would be craaaaaazy TBH.

I think I paid about £350 for mine. I was going to rent it, then decided I'd buy and probably take it back but I liked it, so kept it.

 

[jenic]

Making me want to buy it now You got the f3.5 version?

Didn't realise it was his only lens. If I was you luke I'd keep the 35mm for what its worth though, since that's a nice lens too.

 

[Revels]

Nope, the other one. TBH, I don't think you need that one.

Shooting at 10mm is so wide, that any sort of focal point is far enough away that the aperture isn't that important if you get what I mean. If I want a shallow DOF then I use something else.

28mm prime surely.

Actually that's not so far from 35mm. Forget i said anything.
