Tamron AF 28-200mm F/3.8-5.6 XR Di Aspherical (IF) Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras Price



I have an older version of this lens for my Nikon and always got good results with it. I am using this on a Canon 5D Mk2, believe it or not, and it is great so far. Some barrel distortion that really shows in building shots, etc, but there is good software that can correct that easily. Also, it will be less on non-full frame cameras. Otherwise I think this is one of the best value lenses out there. Probably the ideal travel lens due to it’s size, too. It’s very small. Maybe the smallest zoom lens of that length. It’s also very well made. Mostly metal. I trued out the Canon equivalent and have to say this lens seems sharper and with better color.

Feature

  • 19.3 inch (0.49m) Minimum Focus Distance entire zoom range

Nikon 600mm f/4.0G ED VR II AF-S SWM Super Telephoto Lens for Nikon FX and DX Format Digital SLR Price



This is the best lens I have come across. I use with with my Nikon D300 on a Wimberly head + Gitzo tripod. I get sharp images of wild life and birds. I am trying to put this to good use for my Lunar Astrophotography and this does an awesome job. The Autofocus works well even with the 2X teleconverter, which is quite handy during a rough safari ride.

Strongly recommended for any serious nature / wild life photographer.

Feature

  • Super telephoto lens designed for edge-to-edge sharpness on Nikon DX and FX image sensors
  • Vibration Reduction (VR II) minimizes the effects of camera shake
  • Tripod Detection Mode reduces vibration of cameras mounted on tripods
  • Silent Wave Motor for high speed autofocusing

Nikon FC-E8 Fish-Eye Converter Lens for Nikon 4300, 4500 & 5000 Digital Cameras Price



Slipped right on the CoolPix 995. Almost slipped onto the floor as well – the lens cover is nice, but held on by friction between a felt strip inside the cover and the side of the lens. It’s second nature to pick it up by the lens cover. And the lens falls right out. Be warned! I caught mine just in time and spend 5 minutes cleaning off finger prints. This is a common complaint from people I know who own this lens. The rear lens cover is a pain – not fully threaded and a pain to get on. Enough of the ‘bitchin.

The lens itself is great. I had a Tiffen wide angle on my old Kodak DC290 – this Nikon is far superior. The camera has two Fisheye lens presets that adjusts and locks the camera’s settings for optimum results. The resulting photo can be dark if taken indoors (the flash is automatically disabled) – but a few seconds in PhotoShop increasing the contrast and brightness fixed it right up (try that with a film camera!)

For [this price] you can’t beat this lens. If you plan on doing panoramic or full room shots, get it. Example: I stood my tripod in a corner facing the center of a room. It captured EVERYTHING, floor to ceiling, wall to wall, except what was directly behind the camera. I then import the resulting image into a panoramic editor, output a Quicktime VR file (takes under 20 minutes total), and have a virtual view of the room. Cool. Plus everyone who sees it asks “is that a lens?!?!”

Sigma 28-105mm F3.8-5.6 Aspherical Macro Lens for Nikon-AF Camera Price


Overview

Sigma Corporation is proud to announce the availability of the latest generation of compact standard zoom lenses, the 28-105mm f/3.8-5.6 UC III. This new lens builds upon its predecessors (models UC and UC II), offering the same focal length range (28mm to 105mm), and focusing range (50 cm or 19.7 inches to infinity, at all zoom settings) and providing a slightly larger effective aperture (f/3.8-5.6), while reducing the weight to less than 300g (10 oz). A new lens design, including the use of aspherical optics and new mechanical construction, are credited with the reduction in weight, while maintaining the high level of performance for which these lenses are known. This model retains the internal focusing system and a non-rotating front barrel for convenient filter use.This lens can be mounted on Nikon(D) camera.

Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC IF Macro Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras Price



I was looking for a lense that would replace my nikkor 18-55mm lens. I wanted somthing around the same zoom range, and mabe with a little more reach if possible. I spent hours looking up reviews and asking questions all over the internet! I fnially came up on the sigma 17-70mm lense, which is the perfect range!! 17mm is pretty wide-angle and its great for pretty much anything like family group shots or senic shots. and the 70mm is great for macro photos of flowers, plants and bugs all the way down to portrait close up shots. and to make the lense even better, its macro!! you will not believe how close you can focus with this lense! it will blow you away!! it will also open up a new and different world of photography for you! the lense is also very very sharp, which was the most important thing for me in finding a lens.

Tamron AF 11-18mm f/4.5-5.6 Di-II SP LD Aspherical (IF) Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras Price



This is the second Wide angle lens I own (first one was Nikon 12-24mm f4).
Built quality is different, Nikon has a better quality build and a internal focusing motor, Tamron has no focusing motor inside the lens (camera body has to have a focusing pin) and it its zoom and focus rings are looser (I have purchased it used, no electronics=used is good).

Overall I am VERY satisfied with Tamron (after using Nikon for a while), this is very inexpensive lens compared to Nikon wide angle lens, and it is 1mm wider.

You can see more of my photos made with this lens at: [...]

(Note: remove spaced in [...])

Highly recommended for a budget minded user.
I also use HOYA MRC CPL (not the thin version), it functions great, highly recommended.
