[QUOTE="aroy, post: 192238, member: 16090"] Please consider the Sigma 35mm 1.4 art. This is a much superior lense compared to the 30mm. As per DXO it is sharper, has less distortion and lower chromatic aberration. The 35mm is ranked the best lens in its class, better than the Zeiss and Nikon. Last but not the least it is an FX lens, so will stand you in good stead in case (?) you consider migrating to FX. Another factor to consider is getting the D7100 rather than 5xxx body. The 7100 can use any of the "D" AF lenses, as well as the older Nikon lenses (both AF & MF). So in case you are serious about photography, you can reduce your gross budget by procuring excellent pre owned MF lenses. The 28mm f2.8 AIS lense is one such lens which is 20 years old design still being produced. If you love very shallow DOF then the 50mm f1.2 AIS is another classic Nikon lens. [/QUOTE]
