Next 2 purchases - Samyang 8mm & Tokina 11-16

[jojo90]

Hi,

My current kit is:
Nikon D7000
35mm f1.8
50mm f1.4
17-55 f2.8
55-200 (the cheap Nikon VR zoom)


I'm thinking of adding to the bag:
Tokina 11-16 f2.8
Samyang 8mm f3.5 fisheye

I've done a reasonable amount of research and on my recent holiday there were more instances I wanted to zoom out than zoom in. I've always wanted to play with a fisheye but it's such a specialist lens the price point of the samyang seems spot on.

Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing a trick here with these purchases?

Thanks.

Since you mentioned the bag... the Tokina's lens hood is about 104mm diameter. I've got bulky Sigma primes and 17mm is usually wide enough, so the Tokina often gets left at home

I'm about to purchase the fisheye for the same reasons as you, its a specialised lens but at that price its something you can get to tinker with!

Those seem like good purchases to me. When I have a bit more money I want to swap my Sigma 10-20 for the Tamron and I already own the 8mm which is pretty fun now and again.
