At least I know Tamron 90mm 2.8 macro is a good lens.
How about Sigma 30mm 1.4?

I guess you are the guy think that you can only take good images using Leica and Nikkor ...hm...I wonder why Sigma & Tamron haven't gone bankrupt yet. Maybe because someone actually has skill...

lol...man camera talk in car forum is a joke.
yup, took my camera into a Ritz where the guy let me compare a Nikon, Sigma and Tamron in the ultra wide spectrum. Spent about 2 hours shooting test images is RAW, and another 2 days evaluating them. Bought the Nikkor 12-24 f/4.

There was a noticeable issue with vignetteing in the Tamron, and the Sigma, while better, left a lot to be desired through a range of aperatures. It was OK around f/8, but other than that, not worth the money. Why spend the money on a Sigma or Tamron and get shitty images when I can spend a little more and get something outstanding for my camera.

They haven't gone bankrupt because there are enough idiots that think the lenses are just as good as a Nikon or Canon lens. Let me guess, you think all the important stuff is in the camera body, right?
