[QUOTE="Somersetscott, post: 316081, member: 10691"] I second the Nikkor 28-70mm AF-S f2.8, but then I'm using it on an FX body - I thought my old Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 Macro was alright, until I bought the Nikkor - Unbelievable difference. The Tamron's image quality was amazing at 28mm then tapered off to awful when wide and at 75mm (even tripod, fast shutter etc.). So on that front, I'd not buy cheapy versions again without trying them out first. Of the ones mentioned - If I had DX and was looking for wide I'd be tempted to go for that Sigma 17-35mm f1.8 I can't vouch as I've never used or owned one. . When I was the proud owner of a D7000 I had a Tokina 11-16mm F2.8 as my wide it was amazing! distortion was considerable at 11mm when close to subject though. hope you find your lens :) [/QUOTE]
