Thanks very much to both of you, most appreciated! :thumbs:

(Apologies if there's an answer in another thread - I searched but couldn't find one!) I have a MacBook Air for traveling, and a Core i7 PC at home with CS4. My goal is to be able to transfer shots from my CF card to the MacBook Air while I'm in a studio/on a shoot, then transfer them to an...

I had a Tokina 11-16mm for a couple of years and absolutely loved it. Great lens.

Thanks all, appreciate the thoughts and the justification of my purchase! When I forget about the £ involved I get a bit giddy about the D700s arrival on Saturday. I spent most of last night searching for deals on FX lenses, so my pockets will continue to get emptier!

I've got the 35mm already in the bag, so I'll keep that and give it a shot - thanks for the tip! Be nice if we could go back in time and get those film lenses back, eh?!

The only experience I have with Sigma lenses was back in the early 90s, and they were pretty average at the time - certainly behind Tamron and Tokina when it came to 3rd party lenses. Looking at your website you've got some quality shots, so obviously you expect a lot out of your equipment...

This is a solid point, the low light situations are where I'll see the most difference from what I've read. And thanks for that, I feel better now!

You should email me once a week and ask me if I regret putting that much money into what is probably going to be a very small improvement in my final image quality!

Yeah I love the compact form of the D90 too, and haven't convinced myself that I'll sell it once the FX collection starts to build. I have the DX 35mm and will give it a go on the D700. Does it end up just covering a DX-sized portion of the sensor, resulting in a 5MP-ish file? I think...

Have a D90 with all DX lenses unfortunately, so it's time for me to start the lens collection again! (I'm having a huge amount of buyer's remorse right now, because I don't make any money from my photography and my D90 was just fine really... but I really wanted to make the jump to FX...

I would agree with the general consensus, my Tokina 11-16mm is my favourite lens. Just make sure you do lots of research, there are a few not so great WA zooms out there. Highly recommend the Tokina!
