Why not just get a real UWA instead if budget enough for the 1685.

if u shoot for hobby only.
get a UWA should be great
lets the 50mm cover the normal range and zoom with ur foot.

bro, what is a UWA?
sorry...
a new guy here.

ultra wide angle

Tokina 11-16mm f2.8

And that 35mm f/1.4G so gonna glue to my camera

any cheaper wide angle lens??
cause the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 is way too expensive for me le...
haha!!

Haha. 35 instead of 24? One guy in flickr used Canon's 35 f1.4 and took pics of people in detroit(someone shared it here last time), really impressed me. Very sharp and nice bokeh too. Wonder how's the nikon performance

Is tried my friend's Tamron 12-24 last time, i didn't like it. Very soft especially at the corners. *or it's my eyes?*

If you don't mind to play manually, then Samyang 14mm f/2.8, it costs RM1.3k in ShaShinKi.com.

Nikkor AF-S VR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 !!!

i feel the same too..dats y i bought tokina 12-24 f/4..more than enough for my hobby needs..

Waaa.... u using the sigmat 17-50 OS HSM? how much u bought, whenever I see this lens I felt y not getting the nikkor's 17-55 instead.... since this sigma is so pricey dy

because nikkor 17-55 no VR and SWD? if i din read wrongly la.

SWD is HSM? same as Nikkor's HSM oni ma.... extra OS compared to Nikkor la.... but the Sigma's price can reach Nikkor dy with some top up

Actually the Sigma lens will only be delivered to me tomorrow..bought in on Thanksgiving sale for only USD569 (~RM1790)..if Malaysia's price I will definitely not buying..celciuz suggested that i should grab it so i just grab one

opposite la, Sigma 1 is HSM, Nikkor 1 is SWM

HOLY, thats way more worth than getting a Tamron 17-50 VC here!!!

Yeah dats y..the US price before sale is USD669 (RM2100) but i was in dilemma whether i should buy it or not..lucky i bought coz now it is back to USD669 again..

At that kind of price, you should get one!

Yup, did just what you told me to do and I have until 17 January to return it and get full refund if I don't like it..

Oh my...... How come I din hear any news regarding this here =.= Sob sob.... juz bought a Tamron 17-50 VC, but really no regrets getting the VC one compared to the non VC, it really helps soo much in handheld shots at low light
