Cheap Telephoto ?

[HJS]

Being that cash is tighter than a tight thing at the moment but also taking into account my absolute need for shiny new camera equipment.

I was looking at THIS has anybody used this lens, I appreciate it's not going to be a Zeiss for the money but how good or bad is it.

Cheers

my missus uses the 28-200 version and she swears by it as its never off her camera so at this price its a steal mate

Have just sold my nikon kit lens(55-200 af-s non vr) on ebay for £99.99 to upgrade to 70-300VR, you can get the same lens new from camera box for £109.99.

The 55-200 nikon lens is a good lens but I needed VR at the longer length in low light.

Nothing against sigma I would love the 70-200 2.8, but if the price is close I would always go for nikon.

Thank's for the link, I used to own the Nikkor 55-200, tis indeed a good lens and at £10 more than the sigma is a really good price.

I've never used camera box, what are they like as per reliability/returns etc?

Cheers
