haha... u know my ans, rite? neither lens. if u have to get a zoom, IMO, save up and get a constant aperature one. variable zooms are good for budget-conscious shooters. however, after a while, u'll understand why people are willing to pay big bucks for a constant aperature lens. in the end, u might end up spending more money changing lens than buying a rite one from the beginning.

wah a lens that cost 1k+ dollars still budget-concious meh????
hahhahaha

you tried the 80-200 nikkor before mah...

anyway you can go to the shops and try them out loh...
so far I prefer the sigma 1, definitely a more solid and more quiet perfomer although people might say why not spend $200 more for a nikkor...

wah!!!!! $2k ah?!!! US dollars somemore!!!

 

[nightwolf75]

hahhahaha

since when a variable aperature lens cost more than 1K? eg EF 75-300mm/f4-5.6 III USM costs RRP $500.

btw, ur comment abt VR lens not sharp.... how did u compare, or compare with wat? remember - images out of DSLR is seldom pin-sharp without PS's USM. true test of sharpness, IMO, is to do it on film.
