I have a D200 with Nikon 16-85 lens. I am going to some National Parks in the US this winter, and I am considering buying an ultra-wide lens.
The options may be Sigma 8-16, 12-24 and Tokina 11-16, I have read all the reviews of them. But I still cannot decide which one to buy. Here is some problems:
1. The optical quality of Sigma 12-24 II is lower than the first version in the review, why is so? Can't understand.Does it mean if I care about the optical quality most, I should buy the first version?
2. Markus have to go through 4 samples to get a comparatively good one of Sigma 8-16, does it mean the quality of it varies much?
P.S I am very frustrated about the ISO of D200, do I have to change it to get good pics? I really want to get some good pics on this trip.
Any advice and suggestion is welcome!Thanks~
