my camera company sent me the wrong order but has offered me this switch. is this a good offer? am i being ripped off or am i better off spending a bit more to get a better all round lens to start off with? i will mainly be taking photos of my children so i need a lens good inside and out. i'm getting so confused with reviews so some advice would be really great.
I have owned Sigma 18-200mm. It's a beautiful lens in a small package and below are some pictures taken by 18-200mm. However, lately I have been using Tamron 70-300mm Di more due to the better reach and it's also slightly faster at longer end. I never used Sigma 70-300mm but if it's APO, I only heard praises. Pentax 18-55mm is a fine lens too.
