Hey Guys

and im looking at getting a new lens or 2

not really, expect to pay tax on top too.

Well the 70-300 is the non APO version which is the not so good one.
Pricewise it isn't bad if you don't get stung for import duty & tax.

A review of the 28-70 at least: http://www.photographyreview.com/mfr/sigma/35mm-zoom/PRD_145264_3128crx.aspx


You get what you pay for, after all.

 

[simeon]

what sort off things do you shoot?

 

[Gary.D]

landscape, street, parties, clubs and just starting to learn weddings.

 

[Gary.D]

would like to start wildlife and motorsport eventually

An idea of our budget would help people give you a better idea.

Are you hoping to find one lens that does all of those well?

 

[Gary.D]

up too £500

well, just got a 55-250 IS myself. Would like a bit more reach tbh, so maybe best for you to look into a 300mm. And everyone raves about the nifty fifties now. But they're inching towards £70 each now...

Whatever you do, buy a 50mm and get used to using it.

Sounds like a few low-light situations in your interests, so maybe replace your 18-55 with a fast standard zoom? Sigma 18-50 2.8 or Tamron 17-50 2.8 perhaps.

I love my sigma 30mm 1.4

but I'd also look at the sigma 50mm 1.4 as it's a bit closer and better for portraits.

also sigma 70-300mm is a good start for a telephoto lens.
