Hi,
Need opinion here:
Type of camera/lens/accesories : looking for -->Wide angle lens
Budget : RM3000
Your Location : KL
Preferable brand : Nikon
Type of photography u want to do : Landscape, Macro, Random shots, hobby
Any specific models in mind? :
1. AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED
2. AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR (5.3x)
3. Sigma AF 10-20mm 4.0-5.6 EX DC
Question:
1. can Sigma AF 10-20mm 4.0-5.6 EX DC work with Nikon D5000?
2. if Sigma AF 10-20mm 4.0-5.6 EX DC work with Nikon D5000, is this Sigma brand's performance able to catch up with Nikkor wide angle lens ?
3. Compare with AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED & AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR (5.3x) , both have different price, different specification n different performance, which is will you recommend for a beginner user?
4. Can wide angle lens that listed above can use for macro shooting?
Thanks!
1. it will work. it will auto focus (I used some1 sigma 10-20 and auto focusing with mine D3100 meaning working fine with yours).
2. No. Nikkor Wide angle pawn sigma in wide angle. however for the price I suggest you to get Tokina instead (Tokina 12-24 Version II will auto focus with your D5000). the performance is very good (of couse we are talking about DX sensor).
3. What is your intention? do you want all rounder lens or wide angle lens? because they two serve differently
4. I have no idea about macro shooting. but I
guess should not be a problem.
