[QUOTE="adox66, post: 354281, member: 17861"] So I've had my D7100 a few months and loving it so far. I upgraded from the D3200, which I sold with the kit lens. That's left me with the following lenses: Sigma 10-20mm Nikkor 35mm Nikkor 70-300mm Now my medium term plan is to upgrade the 70-300 to a 70-200 2.8(third party most likely due to finances) and add in a mid range zoom. Now the mid range zoom is more of a pressing issue for me. I shoot a lot of landscapes and while I really enjoy the Sigma, and the extra wide field of view can be great for landscapes, more and more I am finding that it's just too wide for what I want. I really need a mid range zoom which I'm sure I will use as much, if not more than the Sigma. So my choices I think, are third party, due to finances. Also I need to consider if I want to buy dedicated DX glass, which will be a lot cheaper, or FX glass, while more expensive would future proof if going full frame. Now I have no immediate or even medium term plans to go full frame. I'm enjoying the DX format, still getting to know my camera and indeed still only scratching the surface of what I can learn in photography. The lenses I am giving serious consideration are: Sigma 17-50 2.8(dx) and Tamron 24-70(fx). Both sit perfectly in the range I'm looking for, more or less. The Tamron would be nearly a multiple of three on the cost of the Sigma which is a huge difference. It would future proof me if I did decide to go the FX root though. I know now it's up to me at the end of the day but I'd love to hear some feedback here from those more knowledgeable and indeed opinions on either of the lenses if familiar with them. Any others that I should give serious consideration to? Also I'd be really interested to hear what lens set ups others have using the dx format. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
