Well the only other lens brand that is just as good is Canon… but those won’t mount on your camera.
When it comes to third party lenses for your Nikon camera, the only brands I would consider are Tokina, Tamron, and Sigma (in that order). I would still prefer to get the Nikon lens. Not only do the Nikon lenses tend to have better build quality and image quality, if you choose to sell it later on, the Nikon lenses retain their much of their value. You sometimes practically have to give away third party lenses.
Use Aperture priority mode and dial the smallest f number you can,either using the ring on your lens,(if it has one ),or the command dial on the right hand side of the body,
Can any photography pro tell me what Sigma Lenses can be used with the Nikon D50 Digital Camera?
I want to do macro photography, and many stores don't have Nikon Macro Lenses, but I have seen many Sigma Lenses and need to know which are compatible w/ the D50.
Any Sigma lens which has a Nikon lens mount is compatible with your camera. Sigma are a very reputable manufacturer of 'independent' lenses and manufacture them for the usual range of lens mounts (Nikon, Canon, Pentax., Sony/Minolta).
Later. I have seen Nonoy's comments alleging your may experience exposure problems with a Sigma lens. I have been involved with photography for nearly 50 years and have never seen such a statement before, despite regular reading of the photographic press. Exposure is a function that is calculated by the camera, and the lens has nothing to do with it, other than to permit light to reach the cell or cells making those calculations
