Hello,
cv-19 crisis sucked, but at least no vacation and no money spending in restaurants and pubs caused that savings increased .. I am now about to upgrade my equipment. I am aiming towards FX. Because I am not a Rockefeller I need to consider the price so I decided to go with Nikon-F because of plenty of available lenses on the market for a fair price (Vs a totally overpriced Nikon-Z and few lenses on the market) .. My idea is to build a holy trinity (or similar) set for FX with focal lengths 14-24, 24-70 and 70-200, all of that ideally in f/2.8 .. I have following options
1) new (or "almost" new) Sigma Art line
2) Tamron lenses (are about the same price as Sigma)
3) used Nikon lenses
Based on the reviews the Sigma and Tamron lenses have their own flaws, specifically Sigma lenses are in general being accused that IQ derogates with AP wide open and Tamron lenses are often being accused that they differ piece by piece (2/5 lenses are usually optically worse, 1/5 is usually better than average) and Nikon lenses are very expensive so I will have to buy used ...
what are your thoughts please ? what would you suggest, what would you do, what strategy you'd follow if in my shoes ?
thanks for the input and regards, dan
