Hi all,
Just about to buy this camera and lens as a bundle deal, my subject is wildlife of the new forest, I am a beginner on a limited buget, what would you recommend as far as other lenses to get further or macro etc.
Any advise would be great, thanks.
 
Hi, you don't say whether you are buyng new or s/h but 1st off if you can get it the 18-250mm is noticeably better than the 18-200mm.
when you say a limited budget any idea of the figure?
I would imagine that a new, decent macro lens will run you £250+ & you are probably wanting at least 300mm if not 400mm for birds, deer etc. & again that's going to run into hundreds depending upon range, aperture & quality.
Buying s/h is an option - Springtide has a Sigma 105 Macro in the f/s section & I have some stuff as well http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=165868&highlight=sony
