Digital camera & digital photography resources
for professional & amateur photographers

I am new to this field can anyone and I am a modeling photographer. tell that substituting Nikon Lenses (Yuck Costly~!) with Sigma or Tamron will work good. Or I am going to loose quality. I have a set old Nikon 200mm and 50 to 70 mm lens. Secondly in my opinion prime lenses deliver much better quality but Yuck~again they are costlier……….

Maggie, I used a Sigma lens with my older Minolta SLR and it was great. I have a new Tamron 90mm macro with my Nikon DSLR and the picture quality is super. It actually makes a great portrait lens too. However, it was still fairly pricey at $650Cdn so it wasn't a lot off the similar Nikon lenses. Like all lens manufacturers there are different quality ranges in all of them but all have lines that take great photos.

IMHO, there are two top brands of cameras, Nikon and Canon, and then just everything else.

The major reason these are the top two is the same in both cases: glass, i.e., their high quality lenses.

Another way to put it is, I think that if you buy a Nikon or Canon camera and then pair it with other brand lenses, you have negated the main reason for buying a Nikon or Canon in the first place.
