Hi
I am just about to take the plunge and get a Nikon D70, I called in Jesops today and the nice guy behind the counter recomended the Sig. 170-500 lens to me for birding.
I will be getting the Nikon D70 with the 18-70 lens from W. Express as they are doing quite a good deal, and Jessops have offerd me the sigma for £338.
What I would like to know is, is the Sigma a good lens, or should I be looking for a dif. lens, as I would hate to find that the pics are not up to scatch.
I have been useing a Nikon 5700 with a 1.5 Tele. and the results have been quite good, but its time now for the 5700 to be replaced with an SLR Digital.
Any advice would be great, on the camera, and also on the lens, ( Large Ones )
If any one has any Pics. taken with the Sigma 170-500 lens I would love to see the results.
