Hey Henry so are you goin to the meet after all? And when you shot jayk's car was it with a Nikon if so what lens did you use I just bought a camera and want to buy a new lens but dont know if I should go with a 18-200mm or 55-200mm both will be VR of course.

Hey Victor,
I have a Canon 50D with the 28-135mm IS lens. But In general with lens have two separate lens like your 18-55 and getting a 55-200 is better than an all in one lens. Although getting a "combo" lens is so convenient. If I were you I would try to find a lens with a constant F/2.8 or lower. But the Nikon 17-55mm F2.8 is gonna cost you a 1000. But a nice alternative is the Sigma or Tamron f2.8 lens both running around $400?
But if you need bit more reach on a single lens how about the Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 lens and its a bit cheaper. Look at the customer images looks nice. But the better lens would be the sigma 18-50mm f/2.8. In general having a lower F/ number allows the lens to open the aperture wider allowing you to take better pictures in low light. But that makes the lens more expensive.

Yea. But try to figure out what you want to shoot and the range where you shoot the most. If you should a lot of pictures from the middle range of 30-80mm then having two len's would be hella annoying to switch back and forth. Getting the 18-105 nikor might be worth it. For myself I dont shoot wide or long, so the 28-135mm range fits me well but want sharper pictures. Im thinking of picking up a new lens with a F/2.8 for its sharper images. It all depends on what you want to shoot. If your gonna do mostly cars the a wider lens would be great. If you shoot more portrait pictures than a 24-70mm lens would be good. Or if you shoot more wildlife shots of birds and animals then a 55-200 range would be good.Originally Posted by curryboyy
