    That's the one you're looking for - basically a highly versatile zoom lens for a Nikon Digital SLR.

    If you wanted to save a few quid, this does the same thing.

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sigma-5-6-18...7233846&sr=8-2

    I own the Sigma and have used the Nikon. The Nikon is better than the Sigma, but not by such a huge margin.

    £460 from Hong Kong eBay sellers, it's a really popular lens so you're not going to find a real bargain unfortunately. I went to but one in the States hoping for a bargain, but ended up with Sigma cos the Nikon was about $700.
