Thanks! It helps alot =)

Does that mean to get the sharpest image I should always try to take pictures with f/11 if possible?

Thanks all for your contributions it really helped. I think i have decided on which lens, and just to clarify YES i am using a d40.

 

RE: Eric Arnold, you mentioned that "any superzoom will need to be stopped down to at least f/8 to be all it can be, and some folks say the nikon 18-200 doesnt reach its peak until f/11-f/13". I dont really understand it, could you kind of briefly explain the mechanics/reasons behind why that is so?

 

Thanks =)

Thanks! I am currently just using the d40 kit lens, as I am just a casual photographer, i want a all-rounded lens to begin with so that i can take it around with me, to travel etc. The convenience of this broad ranged lens is what attracts me.

Hey all,

 

I am contemplating between buying either the Nikon version of the zoom lens or the Sigma version. As I am a

beginner I would like to ask for some suggestions, such as the pros & cons of each? In terms of pricing Sigma is

alot cheaper than the Nikon, however some say that the quality isnt as good.

 

Please advice. =)
