[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 616076, member: 24285"] Thanks for the overview Peter. You touched on several lenses I've considered. You mentioned fisheye's and while I do have two Lensbaby fisheyes I do not have an autofocus version - and Lensbaby is more of a fun lens - a lot of fun actually, but not the same as say that Nikon 16mm fish. I have been intrigued by the Sigma 15mm fish which does get good reviews. I've not had any issues with third party, happy with Tamron's and the new Sigma 50mm Art. Although when I bought my Nikkor 200-500 it was the speed and accuracy of the autofocus that ultimately put it ahead of the other two contenders. I've seen the 14mm wide on sale second hand, wondered about that one. Appreciate your comment on manual lenses and eye sight. Been giving thought to getting that gizmo that goes into the camera to give you the old film style view finder, was so disappointed when I first tried manual focus and got nostalgic for my old film viewfinder view. Live view is an option when working on static subjects. Will have to see what I can find when I get to the camera show on the 22nd in Edmonton. . . . The other option I have is to go wide on my D7100 - there are a whole other crop of DX ultra wides ... and usually at a much better price point. .... but I tend to think of FX as best wide and DX as best long. .... but it is an option. ... too many options.
