Thanks for the comment, ordered one from Mifsuds on Monday. Looking forward to easter if it gets here in time

I"ve only compared the tamron and sigma on a like for like and there isn't a lot for choose. General consensus is the sig is slightly better? And a bit cheaper. Just wondering really if the nikon is all that. The original question was getting at the benefit of f2.8 against the longer reach...

I'm looking at getting a mid range telephoto and my heart and head is telling me the sigma 70-200 os with the f2.8 constant ap is a belter at the price. Great user reviews but it's not a Nikon.

You have the beautiful sandy beaches of Pedn Vounder and Porthcurno which has the Minack Theatre cut into the rock above it and...

Hi All New to the forum and as always looking for advice. I'm looking for an upgrade to the kit lenses I've had since the F days that i currently use on my D7000. My question is do I go for something like a Sigma 80-400 or the new Tamron? Should I stick with Nikon for the long term and which...
