ismail_ba_aran Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 There is very little in your post to define your needs. So not sure it ll meet your needs, but, I use nikon 16-35 f4 and am very happy with what it brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose_angel Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 How wide? From the 14-24 to the 35/1.4 (including the Sigma version), there are some good choices. Zoom or prime; it also depends on how fast you want the lens. Price makes a difference, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georges_pelpel Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 <p>I have the Nikon AF-S 16-35mm f/4 VR, the Nikon AF-S 28mm f/1.8, and the Nikon AF 18mm f/2.8D. I like them all.<br> The king is supposed to be the Nikon AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8 but I opted out of it because of size, weight, and inability to use filters.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

photomarche Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 <p>I would also suggest the 20mm f/2.8 D<br> Light and compact, here is the review from DxOMark<br> http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Lenses/Camera-Lens-Database/Nikon/Nikon-AF-Nikkor-20mm-F28D/%28camera%29/792/%28cameraname%29/NIKON-D800</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western_isles Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I use the 24mm PC Nikkor which is excellent. Also, a Sigma 20mm which is at least as good as the equivelant Nikkor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy_s4 Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 <p>24-70 2.8 in the studio...35 1.4 or 50 1.4 or 85 1.8 for everything else...all great...all Nikon..</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 <p>Without specifics about subject matter, focal length range, fast or slow aperture, and target price, it is hard to make a useful suggestion. Perhaps check out this recent thread: <a href="/nikon-camera-forum/00c1HL">http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00c1HL</a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordys1 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 <p>Thank you all again in looking in too the suggestion<br> im into all sorts of photography but prefer landscape and portraits if that information is of any use</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylynn Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 How much do you want to spend? Do you have a preference for zooms or primes? And are you talking moderate wide angles (say, 24mm or 28mm) or very wide (e.g. 20mm and wider)? I have a 28mm and a 17-35, and while both are wide angle they have different uses.

gordys1 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 <p>im look for around 16 mm up ive got of 24mm up but nothing below for the D800</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylynn Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 The Tokina 16-28mm is one option to look at. It's bigger and more expensive than my 17-35 but it's f/2.8 and a bit better all around. The Nikon 16-35 is another good and reasonable option.

pge Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 <p>If you want to keep the price down you can look at the Nikon 20-35mm f2.8D, a really nice lens with very nice build quality, or either the newer or older version of the Sigma 12-24mm.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
