Hi there,
I bought Nikon D40 some time ago and I have kit lens 18-55mm. I’m thinking about getting some glass now and I want to get two lenses. One will be Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 and another I’m thinking about is Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6 VR ED AF-S DX or Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG MACRO HSM. They both about the same price and I need to decide. I like the VR on Nikon lens but having extra 100mm focal length and macro on sigma makes it difficult to decide. There is another think about Sigma lens – when autofocus the end part rotates which isn’t the best if you want to use CPL filter.
I will be using this lens for some children action shots (5yo and 2yo so it could be fast action :mrgreen: ), probably some macro (with sigma).
Please give me some advice.
Many thanks
Tom
