Hello,

I've been lurking here for about a year now, I have a D50 I bought last year, along with a SB600 and SB800, normal lens 18- 55 and a 70 - 200. Mostly take vacation pics and pics of my sexy wife. I'm wanting to learn more about lighting right now.

I just bought a Tamron 28 - 75 f 2.8 today as my standard lens. I really like it so far, it's sharp and fast. I'm looking for a 80 - 200 f 2.8 to go along with it, looking at the Nikon and the Sigma right now. The search feature is down right now, any input from the crowd?

Thanks

Jeff
 
I myself have been just reading posts here for sometime now. I just got a new sigma 70-200 2.8 lens . I posted my first pic just now . I like the lens so far.I upgraded from a 20-700 4.0
 
Welcome - how about sharing some pics with us. One question though, if you have the 70-200 which is 2.8 with VR, why would you need an 80-200 also?
 
Thanks Ral,

Sorry for the confusion, my 70 - 200 is actually a 70 - 300 old AF, G series I bought for my wife a few years ago for her N65. It's very slow and not very sharp.

When I use to shoot film, I had a Tokina 80 - 200 f 2.8, I loved it.

Here's a pic of my wife. This is the type of photography I want to work on.

 
seems somehow you have changed the pic that was here to a different pic
I dont think this pic belongs on this forum however nice just dont belong here

Photography is the hobby that you can legally shoot people and blown them up

Not sure what lens you had/have, but if you had a 700mm f/4 lens it would have to be 20" long and weigh 35 pounds. I'm sure its a mistype as I have never seen a 20-700 f/4.

I have the Sigma you just upgraded to, its a fine lens and produces very sharp shots when well exposed.

That 20 - 700 is one AWESOME Lens!!! ;)

Sorry about the pic, not sure how it got changed. I just threw this one in as a placeholder.

Well, I got carried away today and bought a D80 and a 50 - 200 VR lens just to have something. They didn't have the Sigma 70 - 200 f 2.8 in stock today :(
I already love the wireless commander mode for by strobes. That is so cool.

I'll be hanging out more here picking up tips!

Thanks
