The Sigma 70-300mm is very good for the price (i found it for £99) but its not up there with the pro stuff. But then neither's my budget  If you pay a bit more you get better quality (obviously) but you get extras like Image Stabilisation and stuff like that. The cheaper lenses also struggle in low light conditions more.
You're welcome to have a go with our 70-300 at a meet sometime if you want. |
Went into Jessops today and he pointed out a few lenses, but they were £350 each, a wide angle 18-55mm tamron and a 70-300mm tamron, used the 70-300mm to take the last pics at coopers last saturday, but then realised it was no good for close ups, but the lenses did not come with the camera, as I got the body only for a rediculously cheap price
Thanks for the Advice Steve and will look at flea bay later
