Which lens shoudl i get?

Ive had my camera now a few months and im finding my 18-55mm lens way too restricting at times.

Im looking at either the 55-200 or the 70-300. theres quite a difference in price so, im wondering weather its worth the extra money or not?

When abroad i was taking pictures of the wildlife by the sea and was struggling to get any decent close ups (check my egypt thread) and i went to watch amateur rugby this weekend and again i struggled once the play was on the other side of the pitch..

What should i do?

Nikon D40x

Some very good info there, but still dont know which to choose, im thinking about the cheaper option for the time being, only thing is if i upgrade then im going to have wasted money..

Meh, i dont know!

I need help, and it seems to me that the decision is becoming harder lol.

I was thinking 18-300mm might be worth the money that one!

James07 · 10 Oct 2013 at 21:39

After seeing the price ive gone back to the 55-300mm haha

If you can try the sigma 70-200 os i picked one up new for £632

Ah thats a little out of my budget, id push it to £250 but id like it new as my next camera will be a beauty, but for now im going to concentrate on looking after my lenses!

Thank you though

Anyone?

So all of those are cheap are rubbishy? Thats all i need to know

Im thinking 55-200vr, i thought the 300 would be better incase i ever wanted it in the future, but nah i dont think its worth it.
