| Now acquired lens #2 in the DX f/2.8 Holy Trinity - Tokina 11-16. Haven't had a chance to play around with it yet, but got it for an absolute steal and it feels almost brand new.
Not sure what tele to go with though, will probably compromise and go 70-200 f/4 as the 2.8s are massive and the only real equivalent DX is the Sigma 50-150 f/2.8 (and Sigmas tend to have issues with the D7100). | |

| Well, my Holy Trinity plans haven't progressed, but as a Christmas present I treated myself to a Nikkor AF-D 105 f/2.0 DC - the DC stands for a very nifty and unique feature called Defocus Control: essentially it controls how smooth the out-of-focus areas are behind and in front of the focus plane for perfect creamy portait backgrounds. I'm not really a portrait photographer (apart from the cats) but I'm a tech-y guy and it's an incredible piece of optics (plus I've wanted a good solid metal lens w/ aperture ring for a while). | |
