- Lines: 29

- I am planning to buy a wide angle lense (for a Nikon camera)
- and I have the following possibilities :
-
- - 24 mm/ 2.8 Nikkor (AF) for about 285 $
-
- - 24 mm/ 2.8 Sigma for 120 $ (AF) or 75 $ (MF) !
-
- - 20-35/ 3.5-4.5 Sigma for 320 $
-
- - 21-35/ 3.5-4.5 Tokina for 230 $
-
- The two zooms performed well in the Pop Photo tests but I am worried
- about the size of the filters (77 and 72 mm).
-
- Therefore I am wishing to get informations regarding the two fixed-focal lenses
- quoted above.
- I would like to know the size, weight, filter size as well as the aperture
- stops of these lenses.
-
- The Sigma lense is very cheap. Any opinion concerning the quality of
- this lense (and if possible compared the Nikon's) would be very welcome.
-
- (I had a 28mm Sigma lense wich was good except for close focusing :
- strong distortion. What about the 24 mm ?).

- Thank you in advance, Christophe DUMAY.
