Hey guys,
Whilst I wait patiently for Nikon to get their act together with the 18-200mm VR lense, I've decided that I'm soon going to fork out for a wide-angle zoom lense to go with my 18-70mm. I'm very much looking forward to taking some landscapes and city scapes with this lense which the kit lenses' 18mm just can't achieve.
Basically, I was wondering which of the following models I should go for:
-Nikon 12-24mm - Definitely sounds like the best, but is almost twice as much as the Tokina
-Tokina 12-24mm - See above
-Sigma 10-20mm - The extra wide-angle at this length can make a huge difference. Is the cheapest of the three lenses, but I have read reviews raising doubt as to its build quality. Also, it lacks the constant f/4 which the above two do, which may make low light photography difficult (I love playing around with night cityscapes).
Any help/experience would be greatly appreciated
