Hello everyone,
I sold my first telephoto lens after 6 months in my drawer, it was 55-300 VR, then I tried again two years later with 55-200 VR and sold that one after two months of not using it.
Generally longer lenses does not fit my "style", but from time to time I need something longer than my Sigma 17-50, so I am thinking about Tokina 50-135 f2.8, Nikkor 85 f1.8 G, or maybe something cheaper like Tamron 70-300 VC USD, or even 135mm f2.8 manual prime just for some rare ocasions or for video work.
I did not like my two previous telephoto lenses because they were slow, and image quality was not in par with my 35mm prime and this Sigma zoom, so I would lile it to be fast, at least f2.8.
This Tokina is great for what I need at least on paper, Nikkor 85mm is even faster but it is very narrow on DX camera.
Tamron is great cheap lens, but it is not small nor fast, and that range starting from 70mm is little bit strange on a DX camera.
Am I missing something?
What would you suggest?
