Wide Angle Lens

Post by ray54 »

I have a Nikon D5000 with a 18-200mm zoom lens. At the lower end (18mm) is this considered wide angle? Is it work looking at a different lens, perhaps 10-24mm?

Anything below 50 on FX is considered wide angle. On DX anything below 35....

18mm is considered wide angle. 10mm is considered extremely wide angle. Whether or not it's worth looking at depends a lot on what you plan to shoot at your style of shooting.
