Hello everyone...
I have Sigma 17-50 f2.8 and Nikkor 35mm f1.8 for my D7100, and I am satisfied. Sigma is great for trips with my family, sharp and almost without any CA, with 17mm wide for landscapes and 50mm for some casual portraits, and 35mm f1.8 prime works nice for some night walks with or without flash.
Somehow, for my photography everything beyond 50mm is just too narrow, I tried twice with telephoto lenses, 55-300 and 55-200, but I just never found anything to photograph with those lenses. Maybe it is due to my camera crop sensor, maybe because I am an amateur, or just long lenses are not my thing. I hope someone will help me to understand.
Most of the time I tend to use wider end of my lens, so I am thinking of buying Tokina 11-16 f2.8 DX II, for our trips to the seaside, some landscapes, and casual shooting. But, I like to keep everything simple, so if there is not big difference between 17mm and 11mm I would like to keep the money, and stay with only two lenses in my bag.
I would like to know how wide is 11mm, or to be more precise, how different is 11mm from 17mm on my Sigma? Is there anyone with similar experience?
Thank you...
