You can change AWB to B3 if it's too reddish.

For me it's a little not worth as your 18-105 is so new. If the top up amount reduce to 600 then I'll consider.

Btw, is the tammy new?

Tha Tammy brand new worth about 1.3k. Your kit lens definitely worth more than a mere RM500!

i would rather keep 18105 then save money for tammy 17-50 or other lens.. don't forget 18105 has VR which tammy 1750 doesn't have

He is not saying that. The kit lens is convenient when you need the range and VR. Optically, the tamron is definitely better.

i have budget constraint ... if i were to choose wide angle lens, which one is better option?

Nikkor AF-S 10-24mm F3.5-4.5G or
Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM or
Tamron SP AF 10-24mm F/3.5-4.5 Di II LD (IF) or
Tokina AT-X 11-16mm F2.8 PRO DX

you wont go wrong with Tokina AT-X 11-16mm F2.8 PRO DX.

It's sharp, wide and has constant aperture.

From reviews and input from users, the tokina is sharpest, followed closely by sigma and last (and least) of all the tamron. Not sure bout the nikkor, too new for me, but 1st party means sure sempoi one la.

Based on my personal benchmarking, the Siggy is a good bet. U get good range and good optics for a lil under RM2k. At UWA the 1mm of difference between the siggy and the tokky translates into a significant difference in viewing angle.
