I'm a complete newbie to this game so need lots of advice!!!
I have recently bought my 1st dslr a mint nikon D200, i then bought a 2nd hand but almost new 18-55vr lens, i already posted a few questions on here and felt i got a few raised eyebrows when getting this lens as i initially was looking for a 18-70 lens.
After using this lens verses an older lens i borrowed of a mate i feel the older lens was a lot sharper, being new to this i'm not sure if it is just my opinion or if i was trying a lot harder with it being my 1st time out.
So the question is should i stick with this lens or buy the 18-70 lens which i can currently get for approx £165 from Clifton Cameras or try to get the Tamron 18-55 2.8 lens which look to be selling for around the £175 mark on ebay, if i went for a new lens i would sell my current lens to offset some of the cost.
Not sure if i'm talking crackers or not!!, any help/recommendations will be most welcome.
