QUOTE(ora-ito @ Jul 18 2007, 10:14 PM) i'm still contemplating on 10-20 sigma or 10.5 fisheye f2.8 nikon lens... but i favour more the 10.5mm fisheye as its a fast lens   QUOTE(AlamakLor @ Jul 18 2007, 10:33 PM) I love everything from the sentosa island. You definitely need faster lenses, VR can only do you so much good. Yup... tokina over sigma... (although the sigma goes wider) Get the tokina 12-24mm f4, it is pretty much a pentax lens that run 3 X more than the tokina. You don't really see many fast ultra wide zoom around since they are mostly use for landscape/architecture where you stop the lens down to get an overall sharp picture anyway, and during night time, tripod is the way to go. I like most of the compositions, you are just missing the equipments now. cheaper than the 10.5mm fisheye unless you really need that effect.... |

Trying to push the limits of my 70-300mm tele lens with a +4 filter to get a shot of a dragonfly's micro eyes. Camera D70s: Lens = 70-300mm VR Nikon; ISO = 200; Exposure mode = Aperture Priority; Metering = Pattern; Shutter speed = 1/60s; Aperture = f/16;
