IaOrana Ia Oe!  Hello to everyone.  I finally scrimped, saved, pinched  and waited until last Friday, 9 Sept. to purchase my latest obsession.  I am the proud owner of a Nikon D70, D200, and now the D300S.   My D70 is set up on a Nikon Macro Bellows, and the D200 has been my "Constant Companion".  All my Nikons have performed flawlessly with the exception of the D200 which took a serious hit when I took a step backwards with out looking one fine shooting day and sent the camera to the Nikon Emergency Room for emergency repair and Body repair.  Other than being my fault the cameras have caused me little or no trouble.  I use a large ball shaped blower and a cleaning solution along with a chamois wrapped very miniature spatula to keep my sensors pristine and the dust bunnies at bay...  Not sure if they are needed for the D300S, but since the other 2 will remain in service so will the stone age tools...

 

I plan on lurking, reading ,and posting, when I have questions, or possibly if I may be able to help someone.   I am a couple of decades older than dirt, but still cranky and onery, and still carry all my own gear (just not at one time).

Out of those five I would go for the

 

Tokina 11-16mm f 2.8

 

It is very sharp and I mainly use it at 16mm, reason is you have to do a lot more in house photoshopping to straighten it up.

I have tried the Nikon, ok but............

The two Sigmas, Have not tried the 8-16 but I did have the 10-20 for two weeks and went back to the Tamron 11-16, sold the 10-20.

Have not tried the Tamron 10-24

I'm trying to decide between these 5 lenses;

Tamron 10-24mm f 3.5-4.5

Nikon 10-24mm f 3.5-4.5

Sigma 10-20mm f 3.5-4.5

Sigma 8-16mm f 4.5-5.6

Tokina 11-16mm f 2.8

Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Gina this was taken on the floor of a rainforest where there was plenty of shade. ISO 100, f3.5 shutter speed 1/800. Tamron macro lens on my Nikon D300. I have no trouble getting even higher speeds.
