Morning All,
I own a d3100, 35mm 1.8, 18-55mm VR and 55-200mm VR. The 35mm is a great lens, but I don't feel it's a wide enough angle for interesting landscape shots, especially on a DX body. Although the 18-55mm gives a wide angle, the front element rotates so not ideal for filters etc.
I'm thinking a decent wide angle zoom would give some versatility for landscape shots, and I guess it doesn't need to be particularly 'fast' either, as I'll likely to be shooting at a more narrower aperture for maximum sharpness. Preferably a Nikon lens, but would consider some of the 'proven' third party manufacturers also.
I hope to upgrade to an FX body at some point in the future, I could do now tbh but having only owned the d3100 just shy of 12 months I would like to invest more time into the hobby before making the investment - I'm still a newbie after all!
Any recommendations would be appreciated!
