What are some good affordable lenses for a Nikon D5300?

So lost in the whole lens searching business. I recently got a Nikon D5300 with the 18-55mm kit lens. I am looking to slowly grow my collection of lenses over the next few years and I was wondering what some good (If there are any) $100-$200 lenses? I like to shoot long exposure, and it can also just be for casual uses. Thanks in advance!

Need some help, determining if something is a scam?

Hello, i'm from Romania, and I announced on a local site that I'm selling a Nikon d300… Somebody contacted me from the UK about buying it, and he obviously translated to my language, since it was some really broken writing.
I told him i can understand english and s/he responded in broken english. Can they screw me over if I give them some bank details?

For some reason I cant post a image with the email…

Advise on camera lenses for Nikon DX?

I'm just getting into photography. I plan on getting a Nikon D5500 (body only). I have £400 to spend on lenses.

I want to shoot street photography, mostly in lowlight conditions. Because of that I've decided that I'm going for the Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 no mater what. They cost around £150, leaving me with £250 for another lens. I want to go for a telephoto/zoom lens for travelling or just daily usage. I'm siding towards the Nikkor 55-200mm lens or the 55-300mm. Is a 35mm and a 55-200mm a good range?

I also want to get into landscape and cityscape photography. I want to get a super wide angle lens for that but that will have to wait because of the price. Is the 35mm on a crop sensor wide enough or would something like an 18mm be better? If it isn't wide enough then should I go for an "all in one" zoom lens instead of the 55-200?

How do these lenses compare with each other in terms of image quality, chromatic aberration, etc…

Nikon 18-140 f/3.5-5.6 ED VR
Sigma 18-200 f/3.5-6.3 DC
Sigma 18-250 f/3.5-6.3 DC
Tamron 18-200 Di ii VC
Tamron 18-270 f/3.5-6.3

Keep in mind I only have roughly £250 to spend on one!

Ultra Wide Angle Lens?

I'm new to photography and I want an ultra wide angle lens mainly for night time cityscapes and occasionally landscape photography. I have a Nikon D5500 and want a 15-16mm FX equivalent, meaning I would want a 10 or 11mm lens. Since it would mostly be sunset, blue hour, and night time shots I would want one with a fast aperture. I don't want to spend too much on a lens, preferably under £500. I've looked into lenses and the one that ticks all my boxes is the Samyang 10mm f/2.8. The only downside to this is it can't have filters on it as the lens hood is built in.

Which is better for ultra wide angle shots, prime or zoom? I know that prime lenses are going to be sharper but is having the versatility of a zoom lens worth it or would just cropping it be better?

Then it come to the next question. Is there that much of a difference between f/2.8 and f/3.5 when it comes to lowlight shots? I'm looking at the Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G for the zoom range but was just wondering is it better to get a prime lens with a fixed aperture of f/2.8 for lowlight cityscape shots?

And are other brands like Sigma, Tokina, Tamron, good as well?
How do these compare with each other?

Samyang 10mm f/2.8
Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 DXII
Tokina 11-20mm f/2.8 Pro
Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5
Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5
Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G

Ideally I would want a 10-20mm f/2.8 that can have polarizing filters.
