Hi, I can see that this lens - Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 EX DC Macro is quite affordable and thinking it may not be that good after all because of the price! Has anyone used it on D7000? The lens has not focus motor but the D7000 can autofocus it. What will be the difference in speed of focus and...

Yeah, Jessop has re-opened small number of stores. I am planning to visit the one close to me on Oxford Street in few days. I have been using the 18-55 VR that came with my D3100 on my D7000 and it is good. The other lens I had was the 50mm 1.8D which I sold on ebay few days ago and I will be...
