Hey guys, my first post here after a while of lurking so be nice ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I've dabbled in photography using a Nikon D40 (not mine) every now and then and I'm finally coming into enough disposable income (joys of being a student...) to purchase my own DSLR+ lens'.
Anyway, I'm looking at purchasing either a 20D or 30D over the next one/two weeks and I'm deliberating over which lens or lens' to go for.
Hopefully my purchase will include the standard 18-55mm lens so I'll at least have that to go along with whatever second lens I go for, if not, then the lens I go for will be my primary lens for now.
I currently have my eye on the Sigma 28-70mm 2.8 EX DG macro which seems to go for around ~£250 second hand which is within budget.
What I'm asking really if there's any other recommendations around this maximum budget of around £250.
My interests are pretty general really but I'm looking at getting into portraiture, architecture/people and places sort of stuff and maybe macro photography.
Many thanks in advance!
