MattyXXL Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Sweet! Let me know how you like it. Did you get it new?I got mine used from one of our local photography chains. Being able to go super wide is fun.I got it at a local pawnshop for $70, its super clean which was surprising. I wanted a good Wide 18mm cause all I had was the 18/70 which is ok and the cheapo 18-55 kit lens that came with the D3200. Im going to try it out this weekend when I go plane spotting down at MIA. The guy maurice that is saving for that lens just bought a Tokina 11-16, Im really surprised at the sharpness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally I'd like the Nikon though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally I'd like the Nikon thoughThe More I read up on it it seems to be an amazing budget lens that out preforms a lot of others. Even Nikkor Snobs love it ( http://www.kenrockwell.com/tokina/11-16mm.htm ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBoy8 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Nice buy Michael, I love my Nikkor 12-24mm.Thanks Daren! I got it at a local pawnshop for $70, its super clean which was surprising.

The guy maurice that is saving for that lens just bought a Tokina 11-16, Im really surprised at the sharpness.Dang, good deal. I should check out the pawn shops in my area and see if they have anything. lol Tokina is not a bad lens, I have the 12-24 f4 dx and I'm okay with it.

Even Nikkor Snobs love it ( http://www.kenrockwell.com/tokina/11-16mm.htm )Prior to getting this 10-24, I read good things about the Tokina, but chose not to go with due to the lack of autofocus within the lens, which my D5200 needs.

Kevin. Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 for those who doubted Kaplhenke coilovers are mindblowing to say the least C30 needs floormats, tires, front and rear brakes, and a detail. Stock halogen headlights suck on these cars, getting a HID kit for it asap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh see I'm on a D7000 so that's not an issue. What is though, is that I get green hazing (like lens flare, but even with my hood in place) in the center of my blacks... 7 minutes ago, Kevin. said: for those who doubted Kaplhenke coilovers are mindblowing to say the least C30 needs floormats, tires, front and rear brakes, and a detail.

Nobody likes HIDs in halogen setups... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryan850-t5 Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Picked this up for the wife. I couldn't ask volvospeed what they though of this camera but I talked to a couple other photo nut buddies and for what you get with this camera and what the wife will use it for, it seems to be the perfect fit for her.
