my first lens

[barorian9]

i recently decided to buyy the nikon d5100 and i can't decide wich lens to buy. after a lot of search i narrowed my chioce to these 3 :


Nikon18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S
sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM
Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di-II LD AF


wich lens do you recommend me to buy as my first lens?

without doing that much research I say the sigma due to its constant aperture.

Hello, Do you know if that Sigma has a built in focus motor? I think I would like one for my D3100. Thanks, Mick

OK I googled it and could not find it. HaHa.

I have heard good things about the Tamron. I have a Tamron 28-75 for sale in the buy and sell forum if you are interested.
