1. Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. Finally, a constant 2.8 aperture on an ultra-wide lens. Crop sensor only though.

Late June release for only $570!

Ken Rockwell's glowing take on the Nikon Mount:

2. Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 OS. I'm getting addicted to extreme telephoto. This successor to the 50-500 "Bigma" has OS, Sigma's image stabilizer to boot, at $900. Available "soon." Also available soon is the 100-400mm OS for $800. Small max aperture is a handicap though in handheld situation, but the OS will certainly help for still subjects.

3. Sigma 10mm f/2.8 fisheye. Always wanted a fisheye for the distortion. What sets this apart from the older Canon and Sigma 15mm f/2.8 fullframe lenses are the newer generation lens's CA, flare, and halation control.

4. Sigma 30mm f/1.4 or 50mm f/1.4. Need a better large aperture lens, and the 50mm f/1.8 is no longer cutting it. Would get the Canon 50mm f/1.4 or 85mm f/1.8, but wide-open, there are halation issues where these newer gen lens's do not.

Man, photography wasn't supposed to be taken to this extreme... it was supposed to be about the car...

I have the Tokina 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 and I love it.

With all my camera stuff and lenses, I could have many, many Z parts :P

Sigma 150-500mm would get my vote.

Damn Bubble, I thought you only bought L lenses

Why such a big deal over a f/2.8 on a UWA?

Sigma 150-500 looks good.

Bubble

i did. 500IS. however, alternative is also good and Sigma 150-500 looks pretty good.

I'm after a Bigma, although the 150-500 would be nice too.

and a Pentax 100mm smc P-D FA F2.8 Macro would be a lot of fun to have too.

Both would be for my K10D.

+1 on the 70-200 2.8L IS

The 11-16 looks very promising!

My next lens is likely to be the 17-55 2.8 IS.

+1 on needing a better large aperture lens.... the 50mm 1.8 and its only like $80.... step up to the 50mm 1.4..... honestly I'd rather have the 1.2 L but who wouldnt?



/droool. I think I'm about to buy the 50mm 1.4 myself....

I brought my 10-22 3.5 to work yesterday because my boss wanted to check it out on his 20d.... he had the 85mm 1.8 and I really liked that lens too...

I'm also considering the 100mm 2.8 macro.....

I'm pretty satisfied with all the lenses i have.. I think my next upgrade will be body.. maybe replace my 20D with a 40D

iTrader: (50)

lolz..good choice.

Bubble

iTrader: (50)

even though this lens is a hit/miss performance but who care.

hmm, does this 11-16 lens compare to the 12-24 tokina lens? Or they're different classes of lenses?

I've just about nutted all over myself . Goddamn Bubble, 50 & 85 f/1.2! This is like seeing supercars... Ferrari, Lambo, Aston... You pimpin' hoes?

Noods, looks like both lenses are "AT-X Pro" designated lenses. I think AT-X Pro is for "push-pull" auto/manual operation instead of a switch. And both are "DX" designated for crop-only lenses.

Obviously the big ticket is the 11-16's fast f/2.8 aperture compared to the 1 stop disadvantage of the 12-24 at f/4.

The lens is available from Japan eBayers, but you'll have to cough up the $100+ premium to be a first adopter.

I'll definitely be picking up this lens the first chance I get, and ditching the Sigma 10-20 just for the f/2.8. Heck, I don't know how one could justify getting any other UWA as the price and performance is ridiculously low.

Bubble

iTrader: (50)

that just nothing. 300 f/2.8IS / 400 f/2.8IS / 500 f/4 IS combo would consider as seeing supercars. I'm missing only 400 f/2.8IS.
