Hi, newbie here looking for an upgrade for my Nikon 18-55mm kit lens. However, which of these following lenses should I choose?
1) Nikon 18-70mm f3.5-4.5G
2) Tamron 17-50mm f2.8
3) Sigma 18-50mm f2.8
(Nikon 17-55mm is way out of my budget, so it's out of consideration :cry: )
I've read a lot of good review about the Tamron. But the Sigma can do macro, and Nikon is deemed as a 'must have' lens by many... I'm still experimenting with DSLR and have been shooting in all kinds of lighting condition (bright or dim). Is the Tamron more worthwhile?
Also, I plan to get an external flash (most likely SB600) for my D50. How will this affect the lens choice?
Many thanks for your advice in advance!
