Same brand as your body is best. As for third party brans, it depends a lot on the model but I tend to prefer Tokina, Sigma EX, Tamron, then Sigma non-EX in that order. Anything else is on a case by case basis but is generally pretty iffy.

any one that covers a full frame of 35mm without vigneting and without terrible off axis abberation of the image. i got t-rings and shit

Nikon for marginally better quality
Sigma for best price to performance ratio
Tamron for a few good deals (90mm macro, 28-75 f2.8)
Tokina has been unreliable on my Nikon Bodies.

Canon I have no idea, I've only used a few lenses before.

ooooooh, I fucking hate sigma MF lenses, all of them are slow (f4 minimum) and their zoom has freaking weird distortion, I have an old 28-200mm lens and it was so not worth the 75$ i paid for it.

Konica Minolta lenses are my absolute preference, if you can get your hands on a good ROKKOR lense, your in business.

Minolta or Carl Zeise.

screw sony!

Agreed. But are there even any Sony lenses besides the new 16-105mm? Aren't the rest just all Minolta rebadges?

Yeah afaik everything on the Alpha line is just rebadged KM gear.

I realize the CZ lenses in the Alpha line aren't made in Germany by Zeiss, but then who does make them? Is it part of Cosina's plan for world domination?
