Which Lens would you get?

[cityofangels]

At the moment, I am considering the following lenses. My budget is about SGD$1K. Which one would you get & why?

Nikon AF-S DX VR 18-200mm F3.5-5.6G IF-ED

Tamrom AF 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro

Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS

Would love to hear your comments! Thanks!

Suggest that you check up the testing results SLR Gear site as they have some testing for the following lenses.

1. Nikon AF-S DX VR 18-200mm F3.5-5.6G IF-ED
2. Tamron AF 18-250mm F3.5-6.3 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Macro
3. Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC (non-OS version)

IMHO, I'm happy with Nikon AF-S DX VR 18-200 F3.5-5.6 IF-ED lens. Refer to similar discussion at previous ClubSnap discussion thread

I think the general consensus is to go for the Nikon. I was contemplating between the Tamron & Nikon. But even the online reviews have raved about the Nikon. I guess I have to increase my budget a little more.

Maybe you can also consider the Tokina AT-X 535 PRO DX AF 50-135 f/2.8 $899 from Cathay Photo promotion.
