I am soon going to be looking for a fairly wide angle zoom for my D750.
The obvious option is the Nikon 16-35 f4 VR, but there are a few others out there, such as the Tamron 15-30 f2.8. I fear the Nikon 14-24 is a little out of reach...
So I am looking for your opinions, ideally from personal experience about what lenses to look at, and what might influence your decision if you were in my position.
The main use to start with is a new house build which will start with the demolition of an existing house, and I am hoping to document the entire process as a gift for the owners.
Winter on a building site will mean not a lot of light, and some exposure to rain, but given that I am a lightweight southerner not too much of the wet stuff. A tripod may not be practical much of the time obviously..
Both the lenses I mention are roughly the same sort of price (ie under £800 new) and the Nikon does pop up at around £530 secondhand here on TP which makes it a much more wallet friendly idea - I've not seen many used Tamrons anywhere.
So, what would you get, or at least look at ?
Many thanks for any suggestions !
