Hi everyone,

 

This is my first post here... I have a Nikon D7100 and I am looking for a wide angle lens to replace the 18mm from the kit.

 

This is more for an architecture / city / landscape use, as well as some interior.

 

I have heard a lot of things about the Sigma 18-35 f1.8, but how does it rate compared to the Tamron 15-30 f2.8 or Tokina 16-28 f2.8?

 

Moreover, aren't they too narrow for my use? Since I am on a APS-C, they are equivalent to 22/27mm, wouldn't it be better to go for 10/12mm to get a 15/18mm equivalent?

 

In this case, what do you guys think of the Sigma 10-20 f3.5, the Tokina 12-24 f4 or the Nikon 10-24 f3.5?

 

Thanks in advance,

Simon

"replace the 18mm from the kit". Is it not sharp enough? Or not wide enough? My guess is that you probably just don't find it wide enough.

In that case, go for a Sigma 10-20mm f4.5-5.6, or Nikkor 10-24mm, or Tokina 11-16mm f2.8. 

 

Or, instead get a prime: Samyang 10mm f2.8. Only manual focus, but that is not an issue really, for UWA.
