What is the lens zoom range? I would like wide angle and telephoto.

I can't help with this question. I really bought it for it's Macro function.

i wouldn't recommend it for any sport photography,because it's wide angle and because it's manual focus. i would rather get a telephotolens

The X60 zoom is amazing. I was able to see the veins on a palm leaf 300 yards away. I also took a shot showing furniture in the window of a high rise building 2 and 1/2 miles away. All this without a tripod.

This lens works well with the zoom on your camera. It gives you a wider field of view no matter your distance from the objective, but you have to consider your distance away from the object before picking a lens to attach this wide angle to. I have been very happy with this lens, especially for the price.

You question is not very clear. What is your expectation? do you want to capture moving distance object? or nearby shots? This lens is for near shots with quality you may have to look for telescope lens for long distance shots. Hope it helps.

This is not a wide angle lens. It is very close to natural view. If you are looking for wide angle look towards 20mm or wider.

First, what camera are you shooting with and what lens(s) do you have already? Second, you said you need a wide angle lens. What kind of pictures are you planning to take? Let's go from here.Michael

The wide angle attachment screws onto the end of either the 18-50 mm or the 50 to 250 mm lens. Be careful to not cross the screw threads as they are very small. Align the threads carefully. Its function is to allow you to take a very wide angled shot, keeping essentially everything in focus, i.e., a large group of people. Probably not very useful on the long distance telephoto lens. You won't use it a lot, but when you need to get a wide angle and you can't position the camera back far enough to get everyone in the frame, then the wide angle will be most welcome. Hope this helps. Dave

It depends on the focal length of your lens and it's speed (I mean open aperture value). Try to set the zoom lens at 90 mm approximately.

Most versatile would be a zoom lens. If you have the money, buy a Panasonic 12-35mm f/2.8.

for my 7D I went with the 10-22mm USM IS and the 24-105mmL and I think that covers the majority of my ranges (I also got the 70-300mm USM telephoto zoom so I think I'm pretty well covered from 10-300mm ;-)

It depends on what you use the lens for. The Tamron will give you a much larger zoom range in a very lightweight lens. But the Nikon will give you better performance over the 16-85mm range. If you mostly use the 16-85 range or make enlargements you may be better off keeping the Nikon. If you want to take more telephoto images and don't need the sharpest possible images and don't shoot a lot in low light you will probably enjoy the Tamron.

If I had a just a choice between the two lenses I would choose the 35mm. Reason? Wider angle to easily fit family and friends in the picture without having to backup to make them fit all the time.That being said, I would also look for a lens that would give me the best of both worlds like a 24mm - 85mm, or something in the range of 24mm to 200mm.Purchasing a really nice zoom lens that can give you the wide angles you need for indoors and family closeups in small spaces combined with a good telephoto range for closeups of more distant subjects should give you more versatility.

If you need a pretty good wide angle try the Rokkinon 14mm. It has only manual focus. The 20-35 Canon is a good lens. I have both and they are good for a budget. thx

Good bang for the buck is just get a zoom lens that has macro feature on it. Like the Tamron AF 70-300 mm. Look it up on Amazon.

You divide the telephoto focal length of 55 by the wide angle focal length of 18, and you get about 3X. It is far from the mega zoom cameras that boast 30X, 50X, and even 60X zoom lenses, but remember that this camera has a APS-C sensor which is almost 13 times larger than most mega zoom cameras. In general, the larger the sensor, the better the image quality, although in well-lit pictures, it may not be very apparent.

It is a good all around lens, however it´s not particularly a wide angle. If you are really into landscape photography and you already have a standard zoom lens, i recomend to go for a tokina 11-16 or a sigma 10-20. I´ve owned the second one, and if you get a good copy, it´s one of the best values in the market for DX cameras.
