Nikkor 14-24 f2.8 AF-S vs. Nikkor 105mm f2.8g

[Tinyt]

Hello everyone!

I'm looking into upgrading, but i'm very undecided and it seems impossible to make a choice.
I've been saving for several months now and the time is almost here, yet i haven't decided yet.

Got my camera 1 year ago and i really stuck with photography. Lens wise i own :
-Nikkor 18-55 mm
-Nikkor 50 mm 1.8g
-Tamron 70-300 f4-5/6 (macro)

I shoot a lot of macro, but i also shoot landscapes, so this doesn't really help either.
What would you choose?

Neither. You seem to have a crop camera judging by the 18-55 you own. I'd buy a crop designed wide angle such as the sigma 10-20 f3.5 or similar, or maybe even wait for the tokina 11-20 f2.8 coming very soon and add a tamron 90mm vc or siggy 105 OS, all for less than the price of a 14-24, but that's just my take

I'm planning on buying the D750, but i thought of buying the lens in the begin so i can get some work done while i save for the new camera (2-3 months)

Well in my opinion a 14-24 makes more sense on a full frame. I would however weigh up do I need 14, or f2.8 because the 16-35 f4 is cheaper lighter and supposedly excellent, mostly f2.8 isn't as important in wide angle lenses

Left aside my first question,
I own a Nikon D3200 and the lenses i mentioned above, what would you recommend i should buy next ? (i like shooting macro, i'm a little into landscaping too)


PS: I hope it's alright i added my flickr in signature.

I'm going to ask how long you have the d3200 and what it's not doing for you that you would like an upgrade such as d750 to do for you

I have my Nikon D3200 since april 2014 and i would like a full frame camera, obviously for the large sensor and the quality of the image which will probably be drastically improved. Also, i can hardly use my nikon D3200 in low light situation/ night photography - at (decent) high ISO, the noise is really bad. I don't shoot much at night, but still ...i don't like being limited, which i kinda am with a crop camera.

Maybe I should give it more time, practice some more before buying a full frame ? Is there any lens that you consider a Must Have?


Thank you for all the replies .

Or just save up and buy the new lens and camera at the same time.

Well looking at your lens line-up the 50 is the only one I would attempt using at night without a tripod.

I don't think everyone needs a full frame camera and certainly the d3200 is well capable of great landscape and good enough low light shots.

If you don't have a tripod consider getting one, if you don't have a flash unit consider a ttl such as a yongnuo yn 565 or similar. As for lenses the first ones I recommend are great for landscapes and macro. Your 18-55 could be improved by trading for something like a sigma 17-50 f2.8 OS, but don't go crazy on spending. I would also say buy for the camera you have now, you may find full frame is not required if you have a few good well considered lenses
