Wide angle lenses. . . . . . Help (or anyone selling?)

[dc53]

Right i've seen the prices of these beauty's, and it's put me off big time!
I wouldn't mind paying 150 *max*!! (as i am 15)

Any way that i could get one for that money? Anyone selling one? (Nikon D70s)



All help greatly appreciated!

It might help if you told us exactly what you want! What do you consider wide? Any lenses you are looking for in particular.

I'm a Canon user so I realise the lens choices are different but I have a 35mm prime that is considered "wide" but as I use it on a 1.6x crop body it's closer to normal. Even sticking to Canon lenses there is the choice between the relatively cheap f/2 non-USM and the f/1.4 L USM (which is what I have). In this example you might be able to pick up the f/2 for around £150-£200, but I'd not expect and change from £600 for the f1/4...

i think you'll struggle to get wider than 18mm new for that money. I'd keep my eye on ebay for sigma/tamron/tokina stuff.
