Afrter having conversation in some other forum, I desided to with Nikkor 18-70 AF-S DX 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G and Nikkor 70-300 AF-G 70-300mm F/4,0-5,6 later. I'm hoping to find 18-70 second handed, coz it's pretty expensive for me. Luckily I have seen quite a lot of those lens second handed. It comes with d70 and for some reason many of the d70 users doesn't semm to need that.

Back in the Middle Ages, I had a Pentax 35 mm (still have) S1A, SLR and being a young Univ. student who was perennially broke, I bought some after market lens, a W/A and a Zoom.
I was never happy with their picture quality and I eventually replaced them with Pentax and Takumar lens-both made by Pentax. I have always been happy with the Pentax lens. They became seldom used, expensive paper weights and I keep them around just to remind me of the fact that there always seems to be a good reason as to why some things are cheap. Here's a couple of more cliches that seem appropos, there is no free lunch and if it seems to be too good of a deal, it probably is! I'm not saying there is anything wrong with lens other than those made by the camera factory, I'm just saying be careful and check them out, first. It's also true that some camera makers have made el stinko lens too as no one maker has a death grip on poor quality. So the moral of this particular story is be careful with lens. Try them out and check out the pix, how do they feel, is the view through the viewfinder as clear, sharp and contrasty as the Nikon lens? |

I bought a Sigma 28-300mm :?it's not as clear I had hoped for. super soft through out the full range.
I'll be selling it, my next lense will be a Nikkor 18-70mm AF-S DXf/3.5-4.5G |

Jutei, as I suggested to Monx, you might consider the Tamron 28-300. It hasn't been off my D50 since I got it. I posted some pics in my reply to him. Don't want to repeat them here. Check it out.

It's stabilized (the OS stands for Optical Stabilization). I don't know when it will begin shipping. Their US site is down right this second. But, here's a link to the press release on their UK site: http://www.sigma-imaging-uk.com/18-200mm.htm |
