[QUOTE="Danno, post: 702498, member: 34269"] That is the kind of stuff I like to shoot too. I hung around here and looked, listened and asked. When I started out I went with some broad lenses that ran from 18-250 I think from Sigma. It was a good walk around lens but the more I looked at things the more I realized mos of my shots for sunrises were at the wide end of the lens. I started looking at 24-70 f2.8 lenses, but they were well out of my budget. I heard about a Sigma 28-75 f2.8 that was reasonable from a price standpoint and I bought it. Love that lens. Until I got my Z6 with the 24-70 f4 that was my go to lens on my D7200 and D700. For landscapes I used the Tamron until I found a DX lens that worked on my D7200. I got the 10-20 f3.5. I later got the Tamron 70-200 f2.8 G2 and a long lens, the Nikon 200-500 f 5.6. I like the fixed minimum aperture on a lens more than a variable. It adds cost but it makes things better when dealing with zooms. You are not messing with the light as much as when the aperture is variable. I have learned that good glass becomes more important the better the body you get, BUT not all better glass has to cost a body part. Nikon makes great glass but I think Tamron does too. I am not sure if any of this makes sense but this is a good place to get an understanding about lenses. Most of my buying decisions came from guidance I got here. [/QUOTE]
