Hey guys, im after a recommendation to a standard (17/18mm - 50mm+ zoom)
im primarily looking second hand at the moment. under £250 would be excellent. im not really in need of anything wider than 17mm.
i had nikons 17-55 f2.8 for a few years and obviously loved it. id quite like the constant apeture but its not essential because i like primes for a lot of work, so this is more of a walkabout lens. what could anyone recommend? i was looking at the nikon 18-70mm being one of the cheapest options as it gets good results, has a nice range and is cheap! ive used one before and liked it. im not a fan of the 18-55mm and to be honest have been unimpressed with the results ive had when trying one out. sigma have a few offerings, as do tamron that seem to get mixed reviews
sharpness, build and to an extent af speed are all important to me.
it'd be paired with a d300 (when i get one)
