Thanks hash, but...

I guess i should have mentioned this before; I already have the Sigma 70-300 APO...

And as i said before; I am just looking to replace the kit lens with a better quality lens of a

similar focal range and am quite sold to either the sigma 18-50 or the nikon 18-70... I'm

just asking, out of those two, which one people would recommend.

Having a quick glance at ebay, the D50's kit lens can be sold for just under what it cost for

me to add it to my kit, so that's not a worry.

I have a D50 with the kit lens and am looking to replace it with a better quality lens, but do

not have a huge amount of money to spend.

I have narrowed it down to these two... which would you recommend? - the Sigma 18-50mm

f2.8 or the Nikon 18-70mm f3.5-4.5?

I bought a D50 with the kit lens and have been a bit disappointed with the quality. I am

looking to replace it with either the D70's 18-70mm or a Sigma 18-55 f2.8.

thanks once again to everyone for their suggestions. This is really helpful. I am glad i did

this before splashing out any money.

I have been scared to look at other brands of lenses because i know so little about what

works and what doesn't. I will check into the sigma... cheers, Jay.

Is there a huge difference between the 18-55mm D50 kit lens and the 18-70mm D70 kit

lens?

if i were to get the 28-200mm or the 24-120mm i would use it to replace my current lens.

In the reviews which Harvey S gave a link to, people say that the 70-300mm ED is not very

sharp past 150mm and also says that if you tilt the camera so that the lens points down, the

zoom will rotate and change position. This puts me off a little.

thank you all for your help... much appreciated.

i am quite swayed towards the 28-200mm G but i have found a AF-S VR 24-120mm

F3.5-4.5 on ebay for ?300 (new & boxed) which is the same price as the 28-200. Do you

think a that would zoom far enough and be a better option for the price?

Hello.

I have just recently bought a D50 with the 18-55mm kit lens. I am looking into getting

another lens with a bit longer zoom. I have absolutely no experience with dSLRs or

choosing lenses.

I have been looking at the Nikon 70-300mm F4.5-5.6D ED AF and the Nikon 28-200Mm

F3.5-5.6 G If-Ed and wanted to see what other people's opinions were. I am wanting to

spend about ?300 ($500) but could save up more if a more expensive lens (up to ?500 or

$800) would make a considerable difference.

Thanks for any help,

Damien
