yes

The reason for you to upgrade?

is there is a major difference between CCD and CMOS?

Err.. Why would an UWA lens have a big aperture like 1.something??
I don't get the purpose of it isn't that overkill.?

Of course.

D3000's CCD -> lousy ISO performance. D90's CMOS sensor much better.

Sigma 70200 OS is pricey! RM4k+ if not mistaken.

24G? It is a prime lens.

Let me show you some photo, then you will understand

Acceptable for general use, it's soft wide open at many focal length, especially 200mm; For non-OS version, top up a little you can get used hand Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8D (two touch).

In the end it depends on the user, is it acceptable; The sigma however have HSM and the non-OS version have some macro capability.

I'd say skip third party and grab nikkor if possible

There's reason why the Nikkors cost more than the third party. The VR2 for example is sharp wide open! (Even better at f/4 ).

But sigmalux is an exception tho

Sigma -> Sigmalux right?

Only the 50mm is acceptable, mainly because Nikkor's 50mm is just sub par lol~ Once Nikkor comes with the updated 50mm f/1.2, kiss the Sigma good bye~ .

Better ISO performance & IQ

Bro, waiting your photo.

Lol, if you mean 24G, that's not UWA lens bro. UWA lens are lenses that's wider than 24mm

This maybe? The 14mm f/2.8 prime LOL. Not exactly big aperture anyways since there's 1424 f/2.8.

err.. not exactly talking about 24G
how about 14-24? why it's 2.8? isn't that overkill?


Been waiting for your spam bro.

how about sigma 17-50? find it out quite fascinating as well.
I mean sigma is good in AF speed in term of sharpness I think it's on par with Nikkon. what do you think?

sigmalux is specifically for the 50mm.


14-24 2.8 bro? how? what is the purpose of it having 2.8 aperture? isn't that shocking?



anyway guys joining bird shooting?

Having a faster UWA is not bad. It's good to have extra stops in low light condition. f/2.8 is not always about the bokeh.

I might have that in my range once 1.2 available

Soon !

I mean practically you will use it at f8 right?
so an aperture is it a consideration of choosing UWA?
I have sigma 10-20 4-5.6
and sigma 10-20 3.5
sigma 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC HSM
tokina 12-24 in my mind
what do you think?
those makes me think whether aperture is a consideration of choosing UWA or not.

bro are u sure nikkon is releasing 50 1.2?
because I heard that Nikkon mounting place is too small which makes them hard to make those big big aperture lenses.
