Hello all, thanks to Hacker I will be recieving a D200 tomorrow and I am looking for a mid range zoom to go with it. I've currently got a D40 with the kit lens, Sigma 10-20 and nikon 70-300 VR. I will probably sell the D40 as a kit so will need the lens for the D200.
So far i have been looking at the Sigma 24-70 2.8 macro or the Sigma 18-50 2.8 HSM. It would be nice to have the Nikon 17-55 but the cost is just way over budget.
I have read some good things on here about the Sigma's, and i'm certainly happy with my 10-20, but some reviews talk about noisy and sometimes inaccurate focusing on the 24-70.
I want the best IQ possible for the money along with the versatility of a decent zoom range for a walk about lens. I do plan to get a nifty 50 soon which I will probably use mainly for portraits.
Anyone got any advice or ideas? thanks for your help, ben
