Telephoto lens for a Nikon D50? |
I am looking for suggestions on a good telephoto lens to get for my Nikon D50. I wouldn't worry too much about the lens selection for your wedding - I doubt you'll have much opportunity to take pictures :-) I have a Nikon D70 and all my lenses are Sigma lenses. If I could have afforded the Nikon lenses I would have preferred them. The Sigmas are great and I have been very satisfied with them so far. They are a little bit lighter weight because more of their parts are plastic as opposed to Nikon lenses which have more glass and metal, making them heavier, better quality, and ultimately more expensive. If you can afford Nikon, I would go that route, otherwise, the Sigmas will work great for you. I'll second the other's post -- I have Canon DSLRs (5D and 20D), but the Sigma lenses are terrific. For a budget, I'd highly recommend the Sigma 70-300mm APO lens (don't get the slighly cheaper non-APO version). It's lightweight, has a decent maximum aperture, and good macro capabilities. Shots done with it are very sharp. I've had mine for 3 years and am very pleased, all for about $220. At f/5.6 and above, it rivals shots from my 70-200mm "L" Canon lens, which cost nearly 8 times as much :) |
