    sigma 17-50mm f2.8 vs sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 contemporary

    Newbie here as well. User of both lenses, 17-50 before switching to 17-70 (C), here are my 2 cents worth: 17-50 + Constant aperture is good, but in this day and age where you can shoot up to such high ISOs, it rarely makes a difference at the long end as you can compensate with high ISO. +...

    55-200 VR or 55-300VR?

    80-200/2.8 sounds way out of my league currently, and heavy too. any opinions regarding nikon 70-300mm's weight (?768mg) against the D5100? will it feel imbalanced? not sure if my sirui T1005 can take it. haha.
