Oh, ok, I didn't realise that stacking the CPL on the UV would cause problems. I feel cleverer now. Thanks guys. P.s. Damn, no excuse to get the B+W one. :bsmilie:

Stacked on my UV filter. So I should remove the UV filter you think?

Hi, I seem to have a problem with vignetting when I'm using a CPL. The funny thing is that I'm getting vignetting mainly on the right side of the frame when I'm shooting it at 18mm. How can I correct this? Is this a normal problem?

Hrmm, should I be concerned about the number of diaphragm blades? The more blades, the better the bokeh right? Should that even be a concern though...?

Read Bjorn Roslett's review. Says the 1000mm F/11 is better, except, it's three times more expensive on Ebay.

I'm quite drawn to both the Sigma and the Tokina. I reckon the Sigma won't be used all that much that the lens exterior will get too crappy. Probably will go with the Sigma after all.

I'm getting too confused about whether to get the nikkor or to get the sigma. Quality and price vs width and less price. :sweat: I'm assuming the colour reproduction in the nikkor is also better than the sigma?:think:

The problem with the LCD is that it's so small. Very often I go out, take photos, when I come back, the image is still not so sharp. But that's when I'm taking photos of light streams next to a busy road. So that's more my mistake. Think I should just bring my notebook along to test, so...

That doesn't sound good... I've got a D70 to work with, and that's a way tiny screen. Even if I tested it in the shop, there's still no guarantee that I get a sharp copy. Looks like it's going to be the Nikkor... Not that it matters now that I'm pretty well conviced about getting the...

Aren't they all equally sharp?

Thanks. Anyone got a 2nd hand 12-24mm to let go... :bsmilie:

BWM? Is the Nikkor that much better to justify the extra cost?

Yes, but which is better in optical quality?

Which should I buy? Where can I buy? How much should I be paying for it?

Well, the 17-55 does have more range, and if your shooting style is anything like mine, you'd use all the way up to 55mm range. However, the plus points of the 17-35 are: 1) autofocus is much quicker 2) colour reproduction is much better 3) if Nikon finally goes full frame, this lens...
