Food price for 18-55?

[williambarry]

that .8 difference in f stop is a big change in available light over what the 18-55 is gonna do for you. You're gonna have many more options with the sigma 2.8 than the 18-55

well for low light i always use my 50/ 1.8 the 18-55 would be for daytime landscapes and some group shots, some full body stuff outdoors

hmm, i think its a good deal

Well, if that works for you...Go for it! Post up pics when you get it.

The title of the post is, "Food price for 18-55?" and before I opened it up I was thinking,"Oh, maybe three bags of groceries would be a good trade for an 18-55."

Rofl ouch Derrel! . Yeah title was a stupid typo. Actually I looked again and the lens is $80. Is the 18-55 vr THAT bad?

 

[mwcfarms]

I would spend the extra money and get the 18 to 105 VR.

the sigma 2.8 is $200...
so im paying 100 for extra .8 f stop?

$94 seems like a really affordable solution, and has VR, its refurbished and good condition

also consider the fact that its a constant 2.8 across the focal length then yes id think its worth it...

but like someone mentioned see if you can save up for an 18-105 or even the 18-200

 

[Kofman13]

What do you mean constant?

 

[rpm]

from 18-50mm you can have your apeture at its highest 2.8.

the nikon 18-55mm is variable. starting at 3.5

I bought the 18-55 took some cool pics I'll put them up tomorrow

 

[Kofman13]

took this after buying it

I bought just the body and the 50mm 1.8. Well isn't it wide angle because it goes farther back than what you see with your eye?

How do you like that lens? I just purchased it earlier this evening . . .

Yes, its a good deal. Not a bad lens but not the best. I'd go for it.
