Sigma recently introduced a few new and interesting lenses. The first one is the SIGMA 8-16mm F4.5-5.6 DC HSM, an ultra-wide angle lens for APS-C sensors. It makes sense as it is the APS-C equivalent of the 12-24 in full-frame. It includes a HSM (hyper sonic) motor for fast and accurate focussing. This is a very interesting lens for people that are into landscape and architecture photography. But also for other ways of creative photography it is a very nice lens. The lens has not yet been tested but knowing Sigma it will should be worth looking into. At a estimated price of € 800 it is not a bargain though...
This is the kind of effect you could be getting...
Another new and interesting lens for D90 users is the Sigma 18-50/2.8 DC OS HSM. This lens offers a big diafragma of f/2.8 throughout the zoomrange. this type of lens is the standard for a lot of pro's (most likely the Nikon version which is 3x as expensive). Also tamron and Tokina offer a good lens in this segment. I'm not sure if the Optical stabilizer is worth it's money though... At 50mm max it can only help when taking night shots of non-moving objects...and in this case you're more likely to use a tripod, so... I would go for the non-OS version for a bargain, or for the Tokina AT-X 165 DX AF 16-50 mm f/2,8 ATX-pro instead...built like a tank that one
