Hi guys I've been really struggling to choose a new lens for my d5100
Currently I have the 18-55 non vr kit and these are the reasons I don't like it,
- not wide enough
- front element rotates
- possibly not long enough
- not great colour rendition
Now I'm more into landscapes but I don't feel I'm ready to jump into the ultra wide angle lenses, my Flickr account has my images- Flickr.com/donegalphotographer
Now I was looking at the sigma 17-70 c lens but I keep hearing it's soft at the Wide angle which is a problem for me the 70mm is a good length and a improvement to what I'm used to but then I found the Nikon 16-85 and I can get that cheaper if I buy used
I just could really do with some advice many thanks
