Best place to buy lenses for Sony A350?

[Moe_Szyslak]

I have owned my Sony A350 for around two months now (chopped in a 10D and a 350D for it) and I am very happy, but it is time to expand the lenses. Intially I would like 10-17mm or similar, but I am struggling to find somewhere to buy. Sevendayshop and ebay don't seem to yield any results.

Can anyone help?

Can't find this 10-17mm anywhere...

But Warehouse Express seem to have quite a range of the rest.

They seem to have a 11-18mm which is perfect. At £419.95 seems very pricey though?

If you've not visited already, you should check out http://www.dyxum.com/index.asp

They have a lens review database which will help to create a shortlist of lenses, from both Sony and third parties.

Regarding your wideangle zoom, firstly they aren't "cheap". Not that expensive, but new you'll need to spend over £300 regardless of which one you buy (unless you buy from Hong Kong on eBay ... perhaps).

I personally went for the Tamron 11-18 as it was a fair bit cheaper than the Sony (Minolta at the time). Very pleased with the results.

I also considered the Sigma 10-20 but at the time it was more expensive, I see now that it has dropped in price to £328.95 (Warehouse Express).

It's always worth keeping an eye on Ebay for second hand lenses. I've picked up some real bargains there.

Hope this helps,

Simon

Great thanks Simon, I will check the links out, I wasn't expecting a bargain, but £400+ did seem dear!

Thanks
