No longer a newbie, moving up!
Since I sold my D3100 kit a week ago, I no longer have a lens wider than 35mm. I need something to shoot landscapes, one of my favorite subjects.
I ONLY need this lens for landscapes and nothing else. It must be 24mm or wider and I want to stay under $150. Used is fine, manual focus is fine, and VR is not a requirement. This lens would frequently be used on a tripod anyway.
I've read good things about the old Nikon 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 kit lens and can easily pick one up used around $150. I'm also considering an older manual focus prime lens like the 20mm f/4 AI.
Should I just snag an 18-70, or are there any other suggestions?
