I intend to buy either:-
1) Sigma 18-200; or
2) 24-120VR

Would anyone give some experience or comments for these two lens?

Thanks in advance!

Sigma 18-200我前幾日買左，$2000幾，都ok!幾方便，如果要求唔係好高，都值得買，我配350D。
Nikon 就唔知。

Thanks for your response!

I like to shoot landscape and insert but not 人像. The range of the kit len is not wide enough for me as I want a len for normal use with longer focus.

May buy one more 10-20 or 12-24 at later time after save enough money.

I've considered the 24-120VR, it would be more popular if it is 18-120, since on DSLR, most people are complaining about the lack of wider angle lense.

Therefore, sigma is the obvious choice, u can check out their comments on the internet, Sigma 18-200 has beaten a lot of lenses including Tamron 18-200, Nikon 18-70, even here DCFever is recommending Sigma 18-200 as a all-in-one lense to go with D70.

Considering wide angle lense, the first thing I look at is the angle of view, not the 15mm or 10mm, not the mm number, since all producers are producing them with a little different angle of view even with the same focal length (mm no.). The 2nd thing is the f/no all lense with f/2.8 or less are considered as fast lense or professional lense, they speak for themselves on performance (they can shoot under very low light condition), most beginner lense are starting from f/3.5 or f/4, which means these are daylight lense, they are very difficult to shoot when the Sun is setting, night time is impossible.

I tried Nikon 50mm f/1.8, it is the most amazing lense I've use, since the light it capture is actually brighter than actual condition. U can shoot around HK, Kln, N.T. any where with it at night without flash.

It is for these reasons, I have sold my Nikon D70 kit lense & Tamron 28-300, and assembled the fllw:

1. Nikon D70 body.
2. Sigma 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye Diagonal (for landscape)
3. Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 (general, indoor, night)
4. Sigma 18-200 (ALL-IN-ONE TRAVEL, outdoor, daytime)
5. Nikon 50mm f/1.8 (fun)
6. Nikon SB-800 Flash
