Feedback and info please? | I had both. Just sold both. I think I enjoyed the Tokina more. Maybe it was just the copies, but I found the Tokina to be sharper. Posted via RS Mobile | |

My question should have been "Is there a difference between these two lenses. " obviously the packaging got updated but do the lenses update too? Like a v1.01? Posted via RS Mobile | |

there wasn't any news regarding a refresh, so my guess is that they're the same lens.

I'm looking at Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X for my Nikon D90. 599 shipped. Yay or nay? Or is there something better?

so what exactly happens when you put a lens designed for a smaller sensor on a full framed camera? will the image appear with a darkened frame? or blurred out edges?

^ It will vary from model to model, and depends which apt you're shooting at.

The A900 actually detects that you have an crop-frame lens on and will automatically only use a crop frame sized portion of the sensor. Only thing is when you look through the viewfinder - there's a box that shows where the crop frame picture is being cut off, making it hard to frame pictures properly.

Nikon 35mm f1.4
How the heck does this lens cost $1,800 and the 35mm f1.8 cost $200? I know the 35mm is DX, but it this lens really worth the money? It seems impossible to justifly the cost..

I'm using the Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 VC as my default lens.
The 17-85 is a pretty average lens. I wouldn't get this one personally.

hey guys, im quite a noob at photography
picked up my first camera this year..
so right now i want a zoom lens that zooms farther
right now i have a 80-200 and 300mm. both are 2.8
im on a tight budget. should i just get one of those zoom multipliers or what are they called?
or i want something more compact. quality isnt important because the pictures will just be of events. i had a hella hard time with the 80-200 this morning for 4 hours haha

I'd recommend a teleconverter if you need more zoom.

^how much are those and which one do you recommend getting?
im thinking about getting a 18-200 so i dont have to carry my 35-70 and 80-200 around all the time lol
everyone tells me i shouldnt do it because of "bad quality" but i really dont mind at this point because of the inconvenience. im only taking pictures of casual events, assemblies, parades, etc. will be working with not alot of space lol. basically i need
1) a daily "get shit done" lens (wider and greater range than the 35-70. 35-70 is pretty good sometimes but really sucks to work with. its loud, af is way slower than manual focusing and sometimes it doesnt even work. im getting a sigma 17-70 this weekend but like i said i need something thats all around so 18-200? willing to spend 300-400 on this one.)
2) a lens that can zoom even farther but quality doesnt matter as long as i can get peoples facial expressions
@!MiKrofT yeah haha those are what i was talking about. which one do you recommend?
tia you guys

@737! If you just need a lens for PW events 300mm is more than enough. I went through the whole year with just my 55-250 and took literally thousands of pics, but since you want a kit lens so badly give the tamron 18-270 a shot. Don't expect much out of image quality especially at the longer end Quote:

tia you guys | EDIT: Sounds like you should just sell your dslr if image quality means nothing to you, take that money and get a handycam or something with 400x zoom etc... 18-200 has pretty slow AF in my experience
