Dear CSers,
I am usiing D7K and need a telephoto lens to complete the lens building as a hobbyist. I have read so many comparison here from Nikon to Tamron and Sigma. The more I read the more I do not what to decide. So I decided to play safe, I wanted Nikon lens only.
Could you please advise which of the following lens i should get to complete my buying.
70-300, 80-200, 28-300, 80-400 or the most obvious 70-200. I hesitate to go for 70-200 because it is the most expensive option and I really prefer a 300mm range or higher lens. I have to be honest here also, that I will seldom using this lens, that is why I hesitate to invest with a S$2,9xx for the 70-200 VR lens unless all are for this lens then I will go for it.
One option I will consider is the Sigma 70-200 if the above options are wasting money and not as sharp as Sigma. If not I prefer the Nikon lens and intend to move into FF a year or so later.
Thank you in advance.
p.s. I think I will use this lens more outdoor than in-door. Please correct me if the 24-70mm is not enough to cover in-door for normal event function or wedding etc. No modeling shooting for me. No such chances.
