Regarding "other brands and using them on your NIKON"




Here's what KEN ROCKWELL says about buying "off brand" or as he comes right out and says... CHEAP LENS.... LOL so politically incorrect!!


You're always on your own with off-brand lenses like Sigma. Readers tell me that their Sigma 105 Macros don't work on the D7000. Potential incompatibility with future cameras is one of the steep prices one pays for trying to save a few dollars yesterday on a cheap lens. Nikon shares nothing with its competitors about lens compatibility, so if you want to buy a Tamron or Sigma, you're gambling that it will work with tomorrow's camera. Good luck.
