What is the best wide angle lens for Nikon 5300?

Nikon 12-24mmDX NIKKOR AF-S (2003-)You have a DX format camera and this is the best wide-angle but it's about 1100 bucks.Your question is somewhat like "what's the best car?"It really depends on what use or purpose you intend. For budget snapshots this is way overkill and some of the kit zooms or inexpensive fixed lenses will work. I know Ken Rockwell has his detractors but his website is very informative I think very helpful so check out his recommendations for lenses and it should help formulate some opinions.

The wide angle I have is for my Nikon 1, You might need an adaptor for it to fit on your 5300. Check www.nikonusa.com for more information.

I believe the 77mm lense is the most recently released Nikon lense which has the most up to date technology. Check on Nikon USA website to confirm.

No it is not a wide angle lens. Wide angle is usually wider than 18 mm (or 27mm in full frame).

Depends what you mean by "good." :) The T3i is a crop-sensor camera, so the 28mm doesn't give you as wide an angle as it would on a full-frame. However, from what I can tell, this is the best low-light wide angle lens available for Canons. It's a great lens for photographing children or pets indoors. This is the primary lens I have on my T2i. If you're interested in portrait work (of people), or low-light photography, this is really the lens you want. I imagine you already have the 18-55mm kit lens, so you have something wider-angle for outdoor or brightly-lit places.

I carefully evaluated all of the Nikon zoom lenses prior to purchasing the D610. Partially at the recommendation of Ken Rockwell, the highly regarded DSLR expert, I selected the Nikon 28-300 AF-S 1.35-5.6 G zoom lens. It replaces both of the zoom lenses that you are considering. In Ken Rockwell's testing he found that the 28-300 provided excellent color balance and linearity out to the corners of the image. When I was ready to buy the Nikon D610 and a Nikon 28-300 zoom I found a bundle of the D610, the 28-300, a Nikon camera case and a 32 GB SD card all packaged together BY NIKON at a price slightly below the best price for the D610 camera body and the Nikon 28-300. I bought the bundle and I am VERY happy with the purchase. I also purchased a Nikon 1.4 50mm fixed lense. The combination of the D610 and the two lenses is producing spectacular photographs for me. Good luck.

Hi Firsuit,While the 14-24 is an excellent landscape lens for a camera with an FX sensor, your D5200 will add a 1.6 multiplier due to the DX sensor. Because of that, you will end up losing a lot of the wide angle ability.I would recommend the Nikon 10-24mm as an alternative. I use that lens on a D7000 and have taken some really good photos with it. Not to mention it is cheaper.If you ever get a camera with an FX sensor, then by all means, grab the 14-24mm or even the 16-35mm. Both good lenses (I use them both).Alan

Not sure about the size of the 5300. I have the 7000 and while it fits with an extra lens, it is tight. I wouldn't expect to fit much else.

I've always considered lenses of less than 35 mm "wide-angle". It's a matter of degree, but I would consider 28mm a wide angle lens. Since around 50mm is "standard" focal length, it is quite a bit wider than that.

AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G: Not a wide angle lens, but for the price ($200) you really cannot beat it for speed (f1.8), weight, and sharpness. I have much more expensive lenses but the 35mm lives on my camera body at least 50% of the time.

Yes d5300 is dx format should work great love this lens! Not sure about auto focus but not a big issue with fisheye

Yes! A wide angle lens will always be helpful when taking the group shots especially if you do not have plenty of space to back up. It is also helpful in getting those shots that capture the entire event that is taking place.

I'm currently using this lens with Nikon D5200, just get the nikon mount and you're sorted. Very sharp results if you do your part :)

it is a really wide angle lens I love this one. It keeps its natural looking aspect ratio.

This lens is equivalent to Nikon's 55mm f 1.8 lens. It is considered a "Normal" lens meaning it 'sees' like the human eye. While it can used in daylight and low light it is NOT a wide angle lens. If wide angle is what you are interested in use the 10 mm N series Nikkor lens or one of the zoom lenses such as the 10 mm to 30 mm zoom or the 10 mm to 100 mm zoom, which is my preference.

Honestly, you would be better of with something like new nikon 20mm 1.8 if you are looking to do wide angle astrophotography. This lens is a fantastic all around landscape lens, but for that application you want as muchligjt as possible, and the extra couple stops means a lower iso is possible

It's still a fisheye lens with curvature! 14mm prime lens is as far out as a wide angle or you are looking at the 16mm to 35 mm 2.8 f stop wide angle lens if you want wide angel variation or go with the 17mm to 40mmm f4 wide angel they are both l Lenses.
