I am stuck between these lenses and would like to know from people that have them which is the better one to go for.
the full names of the lenses in question are Nikkor 18-55 3.5-5.6G VR and Nikkor 18-70mm f3.5-4.5G IFED
At the moment i have a 18-55 kit lens and a 70-300 basic nikon lens so not too great. i dont often use the 70-300, only occasionally when i need to so it makes sense to upgrade the 18-55 first. esspecially as i would like to do more portraiture and BMX/skateboarding shots as thats what i like to do now. sometimes i do some landscapes too. so a kind of walkabout lens but mainly aimed towards the shorter end of the scale.
i would like to keep the wider end of the zoom to about 18 or under (but i am on a budget so under is doubtful) because i like it on my current lens and use it a fair bit.
my buget is around £150 so im looking second hand and they seem similary priced second hand. the 18-70 a bit more but if its a better lens then i would rather it.
thanks
Josh
