I am looking to buy a lens or two for my D70 (I currently just own the
body). I need to cover the focal length 28-300 (give or take a bit).
My options based on research I have done, and the budget I have are:
A) Nikon 18-70mm AF-S DX (the kit lens for the D70)
AND
Sigma 70-300mm APO Macro II
or
B) Sigma 28-300mm
So the choice is between a set of two lenses or a so-called hyperzoom.
I figure the quality is not so good with the hyperzoom, but there is
the issue of not having to change lenses (ergo less dust and less time
to switch over).
I'd appreciate your thoughts on my two options.
(And BTW, what is it with all the weird and random posting in this
group recently? I mean who CARES who you favourite basketball player
is, or indeed who stole who's photos).
