Hello,
I'm new in general to this stuff and self taught however feel i've caught on fairly well. I mostly shoot drag racing and parked cars, with some landscape. I've got a Nikon D7100 and use a 35MM Nikon Prime lens.
I've been eyeballing a zoom as my next, the sigma 70-200MM f2.8 EX DG APO OS HSM and started looking at reviews, i keep seeing people reference how great it is for $800 etc. I was confused as its a $1200 lens. Then i found it existed in the past, however it looks to not have been an OS model, I'll admit I'm not up on my abbreviations which is why I'm asking here, is there a big difference between these two if i stuck them both on my D7100 ? I see the old lens used for about $500-700 and considered that route. Is it worth the extra coin for the new lens ? I know it wont be quite a 70-200 on my camera as well.
Finally got out of aperture priority mode and into full manual and would like a decent zoom lens
Thanks, heres the kind of the stuff im usually doing.
