Hi!
So I am looking into getting a cheap telephoto zoom. How does the 70-300 compare with the Nikon 55-200 kit lens? Is the Sigma much better? It is in the local camera shop reduced by 50 euro cause of January sales.
I am not concerned with good low light performance. OS would be nice though. Build quality or weight is also not a big deal. I suppose IQ compared to a kit lens interests me. I will be using it for some portrait work (where I want more compressed look) and also a little bird photography. Nothing major just to amuse myself and to be used in the city and gardens and not over very long distances. I have a crop body Nikon.
