[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 492226, member: 16844"] Well I think I have finally decided what I want to stick with ... I have bought a Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 new as part of a local stores clearance sale (NZ$379.00/US$240.00). Comes with the warranty. Its the older version without a focus motor which I do not need with my D7100. Sure it isn't a 2.8 but I don't shoot any sport and can't see the benefit of a small DoF in either landscape or interior shots (which can't be handled by my 35mm f1.8) - wide angle sorted. I am keeping the 35mm f1.8 and Tamron 90mm f2.8 Macro. I have added a brand new 50mm f1.8 D (NZ$150.00/Us$95.00) from the shop i work in with full warranty So I now have three portrait lenses all in fast glass as well as the macro. I have found a Sigma 50-150mm f2.8 for a reasonable price (NZ$625.00/US$395.00) and think I will pull the trigger on that one on Monday. This will be my new walk around lens to replace the 18-105 which I will sell together with my D5100 body. For now keeping the 70-300mm but will upgrade if, and only if, I find a real bargain in a similar focal length (long end) Crazy to have so many lenses but there you go. Total spend about NZ$1150.00/US$726.00 - before realising whatever I can get for the sale of my D5100 and the 18-105mm [/QUOTE]
