[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 437058, member: 25183"] I'm going on holiday in September and want to have the best gear I can to maximise my chances of taking great photos. I know this is more down to me than the equipment but camera or lenses (+filters) can't hurt. At a push I have around £500-£550 to spend. The options I'm considering are as follows: D7100 body. (£550 new in a few places, or £495 if I buy it today which I almost certainly won't. It might come back down to this but who knows?) or 1 of these: Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 (£309) Tokina 12-28mm f/4 (£345) Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 (£349) Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 (£389) plus filter/filters: Looking at Hoya HD circular polarising filter. Either to fit one of the lens above with step down rings, or a 52mm thread to fit on my current lenses with the D7100. Also considering grad ND filters. Something like the Cokin H250A ND grad kit. I want to be able to capture the stunning landscapes on this trip, as well as wildlife and general holiday snaps. So what should I do? Or what would you do? Stick with the D3200 and just add filters to my existing lenses listed in my signiture. Purchase a wide angle lens, doesn't have to be one of the above but those are what I'm leaning towards. Buy a D7100 and some filters and take advantage of this cameras improved performance. FYI I will buy a D7100 at some point but if its glass first then I'll have to wait much longer. Sorry if this doesn't make much sense but I'm tying myself in knots so could do with some outside help. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
