Advise on camera lenses for Nikon DX?
I'm just getting into photography. I plan on getting a Nikon D5500 (body only). I have ã400 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 ã150, leaving me with ã250 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 ã250 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 ã500. 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.

Lenses compatible with Nikon D3200?
I just bought a D3200 and I'm very new to photography but trying to learn as much as I can. So I'm trying to broaden my lenses from just my basic kit lens to something else. There's so many different things that I just don't quite understand yet.
I am looking for good portrait lenses. I have a few different ones in mind. But at the moment I'm specifically looking at the 1.8 50mm. Problem is that I'm not sure which "version" is compatible with my camera. I've seen an E series, a D, and a G. And I am confused.
So can anyone tell me which one is the one that's compatible with my D3200?

Lenses compatible with the Nikon D3200?
So I m a beginner in photography, so excuse me if I sound like a moron. But there s all these terms and different things and it s pretty confusing. I just bought my first DSLR (D3200) a few months ago and now I m looking to expand my lenses. I ve been working with the kit lense and I m pretty happy with what I ve been able to do with it thus far. But just like any addict, I want more.
I m looking for some lenses that are compatible with my camera. I specifically want a 1.8 50mm. But there s some many letters that I m just not sure which one is compatible. I ve seen an E series, a D, and a G. Which one is the one I need to get?
And please don t comment telling me I m stupid for not knowing and that if I don t know I don t need it. I m trying to learn, being rude won t help me.

Nikon D3200 AF adapter?
I recently bought a Nikon AF Nikkor 70-300mm lens for my D3200, but I didn't realize that my D3200 has no autofocus motor and so can't drive the autofocus on the lens. Is there some sort of adapter I can get that will drive the autofocus on the lens?
