[QUOTE="joghurt, post: 420885, member: 37703"] This summer I am planning an epic 3 week adventure into Peru. The highlight of the trip will be a 4 day hike into the Inca trail high up in the mountains. Now I wanted to get a new lens for a long while but I am very unsure what to invest in. The trip and a hike will require me to pack as lightly as possible so I plan to only take my nikon 35mm f1/8, and the new lens (and a tripod). For quite a while I had my eyes set on the sigma 10-20mm, as I love shooting landscapes where often I find myself craving less than 18mm, but I am not sure if I am quite ready yet to leave the comfortable 18-55mm range the stock lens provides. This is why I am now also looking at things like the 17-50mm sigma or something like the nikon 16-85mm? By looking at pictures taken with my 18-55, I rarely venture outside 18-35mm zone, but sometimes you do want a little bit more... :confused: Other things to consider are: I will use the new lens as the primary lens for out-of-city shooting. Also, while on the trail I do not want to be changing lenses all the time - it must be relatively versatile I guess. Unless you can convince me I will be ok with a 10-20 :p I have a limited budget, so anything +/- £100 from a new sigma 10-20 but not much more. I am happy to buy (slightly) used however. I am very much an amateur still grasping the art with my D3100, but the faster/sharper the lens the better ofc. [/QUOTE]
