lens - Sigma 10-20mm f5.6 alternatives?


I've been wanting to add a wide angle lens to my collection for a while now. Sigma 10-20mm f5.6 looks good. I was looking at it about 2 years ago. I was wondering if there have been newer wide angle lenses around the same price range. My budget is $500ish. I'm aware of the newer Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 but it's way over my price range. I have a Nikon D90.



Answer



The alternatives are:




  • Nikon 10-24mm f3.5-4.5

  • Nikon 12-24mm f4

  • Tokina 11-16mm f2.8

  • Tamron 10-24mm f3.5-4.5

  • Sigma 10-22mm f3.5


If budget is your only consideration, Tamron seems to be the best fit.


Fullframe lenses like the Nikon 14-24mm f2.8 also exist, but these are much more expensive and bulky.
