This guy knows what's up.

 

Jon, if u don't know what's up then how would u know if somebody knew what was up? huh huh huh?

 

Because I already shoot Nikon hehe.

 

which brings us back to the question. ha ha

 

Lol because when you shoot Nikon, you get this aura like Rick James had on that episode of Dave Chappelle. Except ours is gold.



You can't deny the epicness.

 

Quick question for Nikon guys, or anyone for that matter. Looking to consolidate my 18-55 and 55-200 for an 18-200. For the price difference, I was looking at a Sigma verses the Nikon. From what I've researched The only difference is that the nikon will have a slightly sharper image on a focal point that is not dead center. Any input will help. Thanks

 

yeah u shoot Nikon and it makes Rick James look like Dave Chappelle and look how fuzzy the photo is. Yep looks like a photo taken by a Nikon user to me.

 

This guy had the same question http://www.nikoncafe.com/vforums/sho...t=sigma+18-200

As stated in the thread, I'd expect a lens with that much range at that price level to have its weak points and for the Sigma to have more of them.

 

Thanks

 

canon is disappointing.. they're slacking and thats what they get so Im thinking of switching while its early.

 

No problem. If you're going to upgrade, don't buy another kit lens which is what the 18-200 is. Start looking at primes, mid-range 2.8s, and wide angles.

 

I was looking at a good walk around lens, and thought it was kind of redundant to have an 18-55 and 55-200.

But i have a 50 1.8 and love it. I would love a 35mm and a wide angle too. But before those, I'd like to get an sb600

 

my tokina 11-16 should be here on Thursday!!!!!

 

i just wanted to post on this page...

 

Well when I'm checking, I just take a quick glance at the LCD, sometimes zoom in, just to see where my lines are at and how hot my subject is relative to each light.

Yeah, I posted my 30D, BG-EN2, and 17-55 f/2.8 IS for sale. Man..I wish I didn't have to sell that lens... it's freaking amazing.

 

how is the 18-200 another kit lens? it is the most versatile lens i've ever used. low f/stop has it's place but is not always a necessity. no, it's not the sharpest of sharp lens like ones 3x the cost but it still takes clear and keepable pictures to save forever, print, go into a magazine or in the media. in fact, the majority of my published photos now were taken with that lens. Fox News liked one enough to use it. i still take A LOT of shots with my 18-200. in fact, if i were going out shooting in a location and only was going to be there POSSIBLY one time (story of my life), and could only bring one lens, i would bring the 18-200.

i think it's the best lens in the inventory for when you're shooting casual and don't know what you're going to encounter but want to be able to shoot a wide variety of subject matter just in case. and still produce photos that are good enough to be used for just about anything other than a low light or shallow DOF contest.

 

Because it is a kit lens. I've often seen it packaged with the D300. My 18-105 that came with my D90 is a kit lens and it's pretty good for everyday shooting or consumers who never take the included lens off their camera. It doesn't take bad pics, but after using some of the top lenses from Nikon (70-200, 24-70, 300 f4, 14-24) its shortcomings become more obvious. I don't think there's any lens Nikon makes that you can't get a decent picture with. All I'm saying is that if you're gonna upgrade then actually upgrade. Don't sidestep.

 

interesting. sure didnt feel like sidestepping. using one lens for the 18-200mm range rather than two has gotten me so many pictures from around the world i simply never would have had time for had i of needed to be switching back and forth constantly. the moment would have already been gone.

what is the top lens that covers this range?
