Might be good to have an idea what you want to attach it toOf course I meant a good first zoom lens!
My Nikon D3300. Ive used a third party one (Sigma?) Seemed decent.Might be good to have an idea what you want to attach it to
I think thats the one I tried. What do you use it for?I have a Sigma 70-300 1:4-5.6 for my Canon, I think it's a great lens.
Its my go to lens for anything longer than the 50mm f1.4 prime that sits on my camera pretty much all the time. So anything longer than 50mm - for example if I'm shooting birds on my feeder from 30 feet away. It's also a cracking macro lens, I've used it to shoot spiders webs and small items in my light tent.I think thats the one I tried. What do you use it for?
I assume you mean a telephoto zoom, not just any zoom? What are you looking to take photos of?
I've got the Tamron, using it on a d3300. I like it and would recommend it for the price but you can tell it's only £90. It's a bugger for chromatic aberration so would check out the Sigma before taking a punt.the sigma 70-300 is a decent "budget" lens, very good value really.
tamron also do a 70-300, for about the same price.
I had the tamron (pentax fit), and was quite pleased with; though it suffered from purple fringing at 300mm.
have a look on jessops, they are both around the £90-£100 new. look to pay around £40-£50 used.
if you can get the sigma used for £45, I would get it.
