I have a DA 50-200mm lens. I would like to get to 400mm, but my funds are restricted. Does anyone know if I would be better off getting this Sigma used and keeping the aformentioned lens... or for the money, should I just sell my lens, not buy the Sigma, and get the DA 55-300mm?
Basically, because this Sigma is softer at 400mm, would I get sufficient results cropping with the DA 55-300 or would I truly miss out on the extra 100mm that the Sigma would provide?
From a financial perspective, here are the numbers:
I paid $145 for the DA 50-200mm new
Hopefully ≤$350 for the Sigma used
$250-$300 for the DA 55-300mm new or used
