So long story short I'm going to the mountains on vacation in July and I want to get some really good photos. All I've got at my disposal currently is the 50mm f1.8, the 18-55mm, and the 75-300mm. I'm wanting a wide angle for the mountains/ landscapes. My problem is that I live in the plains (Omaha) and I'm concerned that the wide angle I purchase won't have any use once I get back from vacation.
I want to buy a new lens, not really interested in renting at this point. I've gone on long enough being cheap. I've decided that this photography thing will be a long term commitment, so I'm ready to start spending some serious money.
I primarily shoot automotive in town. So I guess my question is: how applicable ins a W/A for automotive shooting? I'm thinking it would be pretty good, but... I haven't used one. Searching FlickR for "wide-angle automotive" yields some interesting stuff.
Then my other question is which is the better lens, the Sigma 10-20mm or the Tokina 12-24? The Sigma is wider, but the Tokina has the constant f4 aperture which could prove useful. The Sigma is cheaper ($480,) but the Tokina ($550) seems to be built better according to reviewers.
Any opinions from people who have used both? Or one of them?
