Ceistinne, thanks very much for the info on the 17-70 f2.8-4 DC Macro HSM C. That's a zoom in the mid range I like. I photograph the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia so often (part of my backyard when at our country place) I like zooms rather than wide angle.. which squashes down our mountains LOL. Zoom makes them stand up more. They're not that high. Know anything about the 18-200. F3.5-6.3 DC Macro OS HSM C ?

I have a couple nice older zooms and primes. It might be sensible to pair the 30mmf1.4 Art often bundled with the SD Quattro with a mid range zoom. Then I have a very nice old 105mm Macro which does lovely distance too. I must pull out and play with the SD15 to see what lenses I have there. I have many discontinued lenses some excellent with the SD10/14/15. What ever happened to the 50mm prime? I have a lovely historic one which was my walk around prime on SD10/14/15.

Sandy,

I do not know about the 18-200 mm f3.5-6.3 , I do not have it.

From the Sigma website]

" The ultra-compact 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC MACRO OS HSM is about the same size as a typical standard zoom lens. Yet it offers outstanding optical performance throughout the zoom range, fulfilling the needs of the high-megapixel era. It is the most compact and lightweight lens among APS-C format interchangeable superzoom lenses with an optical stabilization function. With its full suite of the latest SIGMA technologies, it expresses the essence of our high-performance Contemporary line. Thanks to its compact package, outstanding performance, and refined build, it’s the ideal all-in-one lens, excellent for travel photos, snapshots, family portraits, photojournalism, and virtually every type of photographic scene."

There is an 18-300mm f3.5-6.3 also which is well liked by some users that posted here at times.
