Cheapest wide-angle lens?

[SlimPaul]

Hey,

I was wondering if I can get any Nikon lens under 18mm for under $200.

Help appreciated, Paul

Probably not what you are looking for...

Not quite under 18mm BUT the Tokina "plastic wonder" 19-35mm zoom was under $200 brand new. It is a good lens for the $$ and probably obtainable used as it is discontinued.

In my reviews, the Tokina 12-24 tested out pretty good.

You might be able to pick one up used for around $300

I have a KIT lens 18-105mm so i don't need the 19mm

Uhmm.. yeah right. BTW, my name is Ansel Adams and I am typing this from my grave enabled internet laptop "down under".

Yeah, and I'm David Hasselhoff. I'm from the Internet.

In all seriousness, a proper wide angle lens goes for about $500 brand new.

You most likely won't be able to find a wide angle lens for $200 or even $300. I think the cheapest come around $400 (if you're lucky).


BTW I'm Victor Hasselblad

I am JESUS! Christ, now I am going to get smited! ;-)

If you sell your current lens, you can upgrade to the 16-85, which has better performance, and a more useful zoom range.

I saw a Sigma 10-20 for Nikon in EX+ condition on keh.com the other day for 380 plus shipping.:coffee:

Sorry but I did not see any mention of a kit lens in the original post...

Ya but they did say wider then 18mm

The Sigma 10-20 would be your cheapest bet. (It doesn't fit my needs so i will never buy one )

im gonna end up eating my words about the sigma 10-20 after shooting with it this weekend
