New walkabout lens!!!
- Thread starter JJ!
- Start date
Andi-b, I really wanted a lens with VR, especially for long focal lengths, not sure if sigma actually do a 28-300 with HSM either.
Tigger, the 18-55 + 55-200 VR is an excellent and much cheaper option than the 18-200 VR. But the all round versatility and image quality of the 18-200 is what made me go for it, after shooting at the horses I found that changing lenses would be an issue as some of my shots were around 30mm and some at 200mm and I would have missed a lot of shots due to lens change.
If I was in a situation where I had the time to swap lenses I may have kept my initial 2 lens set up.
Although I am now the owner of a nifty 50, which will give my plenty of manual focus practice

i doubt it will andi-b.
thats 42-450 equivalent.
it might be, but to get a full body shot in at 42mm you gotta be a damn sight further away than at 27mm. (18mm on lens)
or car shows etc, have to be pretty car away to getthe whole thing in.
and if your'e going on hols, forget taking a photgraph of the sunset.
but as u say, depends what u like to photograph!

Ok, I'll appologise now, the one on the link above doesn't have VR, but for the price and mm comparision I thought of a cheaper alternative.

.....i have pics of that too ...bidding starts at 10 g's^^ Agreed, Manual focus is for the 'Real photographers'
but impossible on moving subjects

I didn't say that, manual on the d40 is fun for a short time, but i wouldn't go back after having auto focus with the d50
lol i broke my 50mm ages ago never got round to getting another might pick one up this weekend... it looks stupid on my camera though...
also if you think manualfocus is hard try doing it on a medium format holding it by hand and focusing through a waist level view finder lol...
