<p>Leigh, I shoot with the D7000 and I took someones advice hear on the Sigma 50-150 f2.8, and really like it. However I have the old version which does not have VR but it is lighter and doesn't extend when zooming. With the newer version you get VR and a considerable amount of extra weight. Sigma makes great lenses and I'm not afraid to recommend them. Oh the 50-150 focal length is the same as 70-200 on full frame sensor bodies.</p><div></div>
