However, you can't really go wrong with any of the two lenses for your intended purpose. The Nikon offers a wider focal range, while the Sigma's close-focus abilities can be handy at times. If you got for the Sigma, make sure to get the latest edition of the Sigma lens (the "Contemporary" one). -- Markus Next PZ lens test report: Sigma AF 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC HSM OS - thxbb12 - 03-06-2014 Quote:Hello, I'd go for the sigma for the following reasons:

Is the older version of Sigma, the "Contemporany" adds more then 100 Euro to the budget. The quality of the new lens justifies the prices diference ? Also I'm not sure my photographic skills deserves that ammount of money, at least at this momment. I was tempted by the wider focal range but you are right, close-focus abilities can be more useful, also Sigma could be better for portraits Thank you, Daniel |
