Lenses
hey guys. I have a Nikon D40X camera and i was wondering if you guys could tell me what type of 3rd party lenses ( eg. wide angle lens ) i could use on this camera? And where i could get them. If i were to buy strait from nikon outlet it would be expensive. Thank you.

get the tamron 17-50. the new line comes with built in motor. it's arnd 600 i think.

abit waste if get tamron leh.. i mean, with 600 u can get 18-135 nikon that d80 kit lens.

bro you could try checking out cs buy/sell lenses i always see loads of nikon/third party lenses for sale.. just check for fungus and condition...

get the new Tamron 17-50mm :) this new lens with motor seems to be sharper then the previous version

but i heard the new tamron for nikon, the af speed is slower.

went to J3:16. they told me something which i find damn true. get a 17-55mm no more worries.

yup 17-55 is great..buy le no need tink abuot anything else for good.

isnt 17-55 the kit lens haha

i think they talking abt the 17 - 50 / 2.8 and not the kit lens..

Wide angle or Ultra wide angle? there's a difference. If U.wide you can try Sigma 10-20mm or the new tokina 11-16mm. Sigma around 900 for the motor one (since d40x doesnt have motor). Tokina would be more expensive cause it's just released. cheers

im not familiar with tamron man. But if the tamron has it's own motor then can lor. But prepare to pay a little more la.

is there a difference between the quality of a nikon lens and a 3rd party lens? for the same specifications i mean.

hi there im using the d40 too. and for the diff between tamron and nikon lens is a bit . . which is the quality. u can onli see the diff if u zoom in. nikon lens capture more detail . . much much more. but if u print both pics using diff lens u wun not c a thing. i have tried the 17-50mm on my d40 and also the tamron. i be better off buying another body like d200 or d300 than paying nearly a 3k lens. think about it
