[QUOTE="jaomul, post: 210136, member: 17371"] Hi all, I hope this is the correct section as I suppose the lens I ask about is wide (at least at one end:D). I have ordered a d7100. I pretty much know my main lenses that I want. My hardest decision will be the standard zoom, yet will probably be the next lens I buy. I have already purchased a 35mm f1.8, will buy a 50mm (likely f1.8d) and eventually a 70 or 80-200 f2.8 and teleconverter (way in the future). I realise you get what you pay for but in general I will likely be using prime lenses. Has anyone used the sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 OS. This lens really strikes me as a good balance between price and performance (on paper at least). Any suggestions on other standard lenses will be appreciated.
